If you go to that labs.familysearch.org// you find that Ellis BOWER died fairly young. He was single and fell over a balustrade of a staircase and died.He is listed as son of Nancy Sisco and Thomas BOWER. OK my own great grandfather was never listed with his wife. In the 1860's there were Indian guides and traders who still trapped and hunted and rode the rivers(Sandusky, Ohio etc) There were wagon masters who went west and returned to wives back home. Just long enough to get them pregnant and leave again.I can't help you there, but I did look for stray Sisco men who were listed as married with no family with them. In the early 1860's an epidemic swept thru that area. It was smallpox. Alot of the people were not buried in public lands, no tombstones and their belonging were burned. Some of my own died this way, at this same time.I looked at Elizabeth Shipper's DC and it didn't have a mother or father listed. I have no idea when Nancy Bower(s)died. I'm glad I could assist you in some small way. I would personally say that Ann was dead by 1870 as Magnolia was 9 and living with Thomas and Nancy Bower( Magnolia was listed as a 9yr old friend. Elizabeth was married to John Shipper, Nancy to Thomas and Alexander to Elmina?Mary A Scisco was living with a woman named Ann Smith in 1870(listed about 17) I really think unless you can find a DC for Magnolia that nothing will ever be crystal clear. Good Luck!!
