My own life and my opinions are shared at When I was 69.

REMEMBER: In North America, the month of September 1752 was exceptionally short, skipping 11 days, when the Gregorian Calendar was adapted from the old Julian one, which didn't have leap year days.

An early Barbara - Smyth Bowers 1596-1644

Barbarie (Barbara) Smyth (Smithe) Bowers

1596–1644

Birth 25 MAR 1596 • Braithwell, Yorkshire, England

Death 25 MAR 1644 • Cambridge, Middlesex, Mass

8 times great grandparent
She married George Bowers in 1614/15 in Braithwell, Yorkshire, England. They immigrated to the American Colonies by 1620.  I'm in awe of a family who came to America with hopes of opportunity.

The following 3 pages are exerpts from a book which includes some information about the George and Barbara Bowers family.  Though George remarried after Barbara's death in 1644, his first 6 children were hers.  And my ancestor was Benanuell Bowers.
