Classification: Query
Surnames: Bills, Bow, Barnes, Swift, Jerome, Brainerd
I am trying to find the connection between several Bow families that came from Pittsfield, Berkshire county, Massachusetts, who I believe came from Middletown Connecticut. I know that a Jacob Bow (m Zerviah Brainerd) went from Middletown to Pittsfield, Mass, probably after going with his brother Daniel to Pittsfield, Vermont, where Daniel remained. They were sons of Peleg Bow and Mary Woodward.
I have taken what I could find and assembled the most logical family connections. The people in northeast Ohio (where I live) have been pieced together with obituaries and cemetery records, and biographical sketches in books from the late 1800's.
I used a question mark or "Probably" where I positioned
people because it looked plausible.
The main disconnects are unknown parents of the three Abraham Bow's, of Oliver Bow, William Bow, and Charles Bow.
I noted that Charles is used frequently in all the families.
First:
Descendants of Charles Bow (source: biography of Horace Bow of Hillsdale County, MI; and descendants of Moses Cleveland)
Charles and Lydia are supposed to have 4 sons and 3 daughters.

If you belong to any of these families please contact me so we can try to figure it all out. Most descendants of Alexander Bowe of Middletown CT, have kept the Bowe spelling, but all of these carry the spelling Bow in books, biographies and tombstones to contemporary times.
