Enoch Sewell Bowen

GEDCOM Note

Enoch & Fannie lived in Blue Anchor (Ancora), NJ in Camden CO. in the 1880s. Enoch worked as a glassblower in a glass factory near Vineland, NJ. (Amanda Thrall Jeffrey had a glass cane made by Enoch, but it broke on the day Amanda's mother died). Later, Enoch worked in the Trowbridge Box Factory in Norwalk, CT making coffins.

Enoch and Fannie were, I believe, members of the WCTU.

Enoch's father owned a plantation in Calvert CO, MD in the mid-1800s. He freed the slaves on the plantation in 1862. George Ingham said all the records from Calvert CO were lost in a fire, however, we recently contacted Mildred Bowen O'Brien of the Calvert CO Genealogy Newsletter, POB 9, Sunderland, MD 20689, who sent us a Bowen genealogy for Enoch's line.
