See notes on Delilah Jane Ward for continued service records on Levi Bates 
Bowers -----
Delilah Jane Ward married Levi Bates Bowers on 25 March 1856 in Brooks of 
Fayette County, Ga.
SOUCRE:
Griggs Family Tree Chart from Bertha Griggs Bridges.
NOTE:
I have not been able thus far to substantiate the above marriage record with 
valid proof.
There was no marriage record to be found Vital Records or the Probate Office in 
Fayette County,
Georgia.
I contacted the Fayette County, Georgia Historical Society and they could not 
find their marriage among
their records.
I have checked with the marriage listings on the internet  but came up with 
nada.
I even checked with the Georgia Department of Archive & History and they could 
not find their marriage
records either.
Levi Bates Bowers did indeed marry Delilah Jane Ward for his service records 
prove that they were
married there. Richard Dorman, a Justice of the Peace in Fayette County, 
appeared in Superior Court on
17 April 1863, saying on oath that he knew the deceased soldier Levi Bates 
Bowers and Delilah J.
Bowers; that she was his widow.
Delilah appeared before the court on the above date because she wanted the dues 
that were owed to her
deceased husband from the government for his service in Company G of the 44th 
Infantry of the Georgia
Volunteers.

SOUCRE:
Compiled Service Records of Confederate Ga.
44th Infantry  (A thru B)
Microfilm No: M 266, Roll No: 465
I found several discrepanies in Levi's service records. There was some 
confusion about date of
enlistment as well as his date of death. There were at least, two other Levi 
Bowers besides Levi Bates
Bowers and one of them was also in the Confederate Army and I believe this is 
where the discrepanies
originated in their records.
