(Note:  This family farm of Jason and Mary Bowen was left to their youngest son 
Peter and his family as they provided the care for the two parents in their later 
years.  Peter sold the farm sometime around 1922 when he moved his family to Oregon.  
I have not been able to locate a Will or Estate on either Jason or Mary BOWEN to prove 
this.)
