  • Name Caroline Bower 
    Also called Catherine (in father's will) 
    Born 08 Apr 1827  York County, Pennsylvania Find all individuals with events at this location 
    • Transcription of George Bower's will mentions daughter Catherine wife of Abraham Reeser. Caroline is not mentioned in the transcription. Death certificates of Caroline's children all give her maiden name as Bower. Henry Kohr (George Bower's son-in-law) is guardian for several of Abraham & Caroline's children, per Abraham's estate file. I find no evidence of a Catherine married to Abraham Rieser, other than in the will transcription, and therefore believe the transcription is in error.
    Gender Female
