[or-roots] Oregon names Bowen/ Bonebraker

[Jim Irwin]

Amos Blue married Sarah Elizabeth Bowen-Smith on August 17, 1854 in Jackson County. On November 19, 1854 he settled his land claim showing two references, John B. Bowen and John McKee. John Bowen was Sarah's father and John Mckee and his family arrived in Jackson County in 1853 along with the Bowen family from Missouri. Amos' land was next to or near the Bowen's land on the east side of Medford, Oregon. Their land was near what is now the Lone Pine School on Lone Pine Road. Near their land is Roxy Ann Peak a dominant point directly to the east of Medford (and visible from most parts of the city) named for Sarah Elizabeth's Mother, Roxy Ann Bowen, wife of John B. Bowen, after the couple settled near the base of the peak in the 1850s according to the reference book "Oregon Geographic Names."

  May we exchange info on the Bowen line.  I imagine that the east coast is full of people that are researching that line.  They had large families a few generations back and came from The chesapeake Bay area so they migrated up and down the eastern seaboard quite a bit.
