George or William Bowen

I'm researching the George Bowen family. George was b.(or arrived) in Delaware in 1730. His son, William b. 1780, Dover Delaware. His son was Nathaniel Murdock Bowen b.1821, Columbus OH. His son Jefferson made the Cherokee Strip run with his wife and son Jeff (my grandfather). Later, Nathaniel came to the Territory where he lived and threshed wheat with the family the rest of his life. We are fortunate that Jefferson drew out the family tree from memory some time in the late 1930's, and most of that information was confirmed in the 1960's by a Chicago relative.

If any of these names and dates ring a bell, I can provide the names of the other children. We know few of the names of wives. The older women in the family report Jefferson seldom spoke to or of women.

I would appreciate any information which might help me narrow down the many George Bowens who are variously recorded in the early 1700's.

Thanks, Betty Carol Bowen
