Notes

Abraham Bowman, born probably in 1749. He was colonel of the 8th Virginia Regiment, following Muhlenberg, in the Revolution; later he is said to have located in Kentucky, the probable place of his death.

Other accounts place Abram Bowman's birth much earlier. Probably he was born sometime between 1742 and 1749. See Chapter XXIX. ["History of Shenandoah County, Virginia", pg. 693].
