A Connection with Cousins!

Last week I had the opportunity to visit with my cousins Donna, Jan and Joanie. On Thursday we met after Jan flew in from her home in Virginia. We spent the afternoon catching up on our families, sharing childhood memories and laughing all afternoon. We then went to Pierce Chapel Methodist Church Cemetery where several generations of our family are buried.
 On Friday morning I picked Jan and Donna up and we spent the day visiting cemeteries, churches, and areas where our Bowden family lived. We started our day with a visit to the grave of our third great grandmother Mahaly Barmore Simmons. (She is buried in the Macedonia Baptist Church cemetery in Manchester, GA.)



We stopped next at the former Bethesda United Methodist church where some of our Bowden relatives are buried..
