Esther was not married to John Bowman-860. His wife's first name was Esther, but his wife's maiden name is not known. The first child of John Bowman-860 and his wife Esther ____ was born in 1765, 6 years before Esther French married "her" John Bowman. All of the information about "their" children belongs to John Bowman-860 and his wife Esther ____ and should be removed from this profile. Their move to Huntingdon County by 1793 belongs to John Bowman-860, and not to Esther French. Same with "their" 1822 move to Nettle Creek, Indiana. Somehow the information about the two different women named Esther who married different men named John Bowman, has been combined into one profile. I am open to suggestions about how to divide this up. Either the husband and children can be removed from this profile, and a new profile created for the wife of John Bowman-860, Or the parents Samuel French and Elizabeth Barron can be removed from this profile, and a new profile created for their daughter, Esther French Bowman. Please let me know what you prefer.

The corrections have been made. I have removed the references I made to Bowman-860.
Thanks, Candyce.

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th paragraphs don't belong to this Esther. They belong to the wife of John Bowman-860. I recommend removing them.

French-175 and French-173 appear to represent the same person because: Dates, spouse match.
