Needing information on my Bowie line

Classification: Query
Surnames: BOWIE,HEARN,PRITCHARD,SMITH
My 2x great-grandparents were James William Bowie & Nancy Ann Hearn. They were married in Washington Co.,OH. on 21 May 1842. They had 9 children. Their names were: Josephine,Eli C.,Harvey,Lovina(my line),Amos,William,Mordecai,Reason & James. The children were all born in OH. William married Mary"Mollie"Smith in Ritchie Co. on 8 Nov.1886. Eli died in Ritchie Co. on 23 April 1922 & is buried in Pine Grove Cemetery in Ritchie Co..

I haven't found where & when Mordecai,Reason & James Bowie died. Was it Ritchie Co.? I haven't got a wife yet for Reason or young James either.

After James Wiliam Bowie died in 1863 from small pox he caught from Rebel prisoners in the Federal Prison in Alton,IL.(he was a guard) his widow Nancy Bowie married Samuel Pritchard . I haven't found where or when Nancy Hearn Bowie Pritchard died. Does anyone know?

Thanks for any help!

Sincerely,

Pam Drake
