Ephriam Fellows, born September 3, 1679, in Ipswich, MA, is my 6th great-grandfather (i.e., my father’s father’s father’s father’s father’s father’s father’s father). William Fellows, Ephriam's grandfather, who was born October 22, 1609, in Selston, Nottinghamshire, England, is my 8th great-grandfather. According to our family records, Ephriam had 5 sons, Ehpriam, Nathanial, Nathan, Isaac, and John, but I don't have any records indicating that Ephriam had a son named "Abeil" or anything that sounds like "Abeil". William Fellows, Ephriam's grandfather, had a daughter named "Abigail", but that's obviously no help. So I don't know who your grandfather, Robert Bowen's mother may have been married to. The only "Robert Bowen" appearing in our family records is the 1st great grand uncle of the husband of Ephriam Fellows' first cousin. Nevertheless, we are probably related one way or another, since Ephriam Fellows had nine children and is, therefore, grand-father -- to some degree -- to a lot of people.
