In leafing through some probate records, I came across this probate entry in Lafayette county, Missouri:
January term 1869 7th day January
Estates of Joseph W. Bowman, Edwin Bowman, Frank G. Bowman, & Clifton Bowman, minor heirs of Elizabeth Edge, decd. and children of John P. and Mary E. Bowman. }
Now at this comes
Mary E. Bowman, guardian of the persons and Estates of said minors and makes 1st annual settlement of said Estates as follows:
Mary E. Bowman, guardian To Said Estates Dr.
Contra Cr.
No. 1 By amt of Drs bill paid to P and J B Temple for Clifton Bowman 12.00
No. 2 By paid Wm H Ruffin 7.50
By paid Doct. Smith Do 3.00
To Edwin Bowman
No. 3 By amt of Drs bill to Dr. to Doctor Smith 1.00
No. 4 By amt of Tuition to G. M. Catron
No. 5 By amt paid for pair boots to Porter and Graves 4.00
No. 6 By amt paid G. M. Catron for tuition 10.00
Voucher to Frank G. Bowman
No. 7 Paid Porter and Graves for Boots 4.00
No. 8 By amount S____ of Clagett 10.00
By amount fees of Probate for all to date 5.00
Pretty interesting, but who the heck was Elizabeth Edge. I think she might be a Parker/Todd descendant, which would make her an aunt or cousin of John Parker Bowman. This is high on my to-do list for my next trip to Lexington, Kentucky. Can't wait!
