Person:Micajah Bowen (1)

"I have looked and looked for information on Micajah and have nothing here but census records. I would love to know more about the man. I do have copies of marriage licenses of daughters, Jennie Lynn and Mary E. to Neidigs in Indiana. In Jennie Lynn's, she spells his name McCager Bowen." {<http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kentucky.counties.nicholas/259.668.778.1080.1098/mb.ashx>}
