Pg. 747, History of Ross County:

On April 15, 1860, Mr. [John] Pyle married Catherine Bower. She was born in Harrison Township of Ross County, October 8, 1835. Her father, Johan BOWER, was born in Wuertemberg, Germany, son of George Bower, who spent all his life in the old country. Johan Bower, after his marriage and after having served in the German army five years, came to America in 1832 with his wife and three children, spending seven weeks on the ocean, making the trip in an old-fashioned sailing vessel. The first winter in Ohio was spent in the Village of Chillicothe, and then Mr. Bower then went into Harrison Township and bought a tract of partly improved land. He was a sturdy and successful farmer, developed his home and lived there until his death in 1840. John Bower married Margaret Ann SCHOTT, who was born in Wuertemberg and who survived her husband, attaining the age of eighty-four. After her husband's death, she proved her work outside as well as inside the home, kept her children together, and managed the farm until she saw each of her sons and daughters grown and comfortably established in homes of their own. Her six children were: Jacob, Margaret, Frederick, John, Catherine and Joseph."

There is also a record of an application to become a US citizen on file in Ross Co. for John BAUER dated 16 Dec 1854 - 14 years after the elder Johann's death.
