Research Notes

There are 2 marriages of interest in Comanche County, Texas.

  1. Martha J. Bowman to J. Parker on 28 Aug 1881
  2. Mattie Bowman to W. J. Howard on 18 Jun 1899

The marriage of Martha J. Bowman to J. Parker seems closer to the time frame of a marriage for Martha J.(Mattie). It is posted all over the internet that this Martha married the Parker. While she probably did, I have not been able to locate any data regarding Mattie Bowman Howard to compare their statistics.

I sent an email requesting the death date of Martha J. Bowman in order to obtain a death certificate to resolve this question.
