Sources
Documentation: Mary Jane Bowers was listed as "idiot" in some census. Civil War Pension medical documentation and family lore supports the claim. She never married. Jesse Bowers and two of his sons: Joseph D. and Jacob all served in Civil War. Jesse died in Civil War, Jacob was severly wounded. Benjamin's wife was named Carrie J. Dutton. Her widowed mother Caroline remarried (William SAGE) and Carrie assumed her step-father's surname.
