SOURCE NOTES
PARENTS
"Judah Bowerman - mar. (4) Lavinia Saylor, dau of Samuel Saylor and his wife Margaret Jones, of  Mount Holy, NJ, 30 July 1826. Lavinia was a sister of Charles Saylor, and of Jemima Hubbs, she was born 11th of Nov 1789; and died on the "hill", where she is also buried, 11th of July 1862. The Saylor family were of german descent; tho not Friends [note: Jemima Hubbs was a Friend - Randy Saylor]. Aunt Lavinia however became one of the best known and respected of a society known widely for its consistent and charitable generosity, few of that generation were so well known as "Aunt" Lavinia , and she probably bears the unique distinction of being the only Quaker woman who had the honour of a "Dead-march" played before her house by an "Orange" Brass band.. Out of respect to her well cherished memory the Band, having visited Wellington on the 12th July played the "Dead-March" in passing Uncle Judah's house of mourning."
