Diane, your line does indeed appear to be the TN connection. The line ended up in Maine with James R. Gower. He was a soldier (TN) in the War of 1812; taken prisoner at Fort Niagra. One night he and another prisoner managed to escape and ended up in New Brunswick. From here James R. Gower ended up living at Plantation 21 in Maine, and the family grew from there. One of my cousins actually has the journal James R. Gower kept of his escape and how close he came a few times to being recaptured. My line branches off from James R Gower with his son William Nelson Gower (Enoch's brother).
