The 1880 TN Jackson County census lists:
John Bowington 58, Margaret 35, John 15, Kendrick 13, Amamda 8, Dannel 3, also Henry, Martha, Simpson, Mary and Leslie.
I would appreciate any information about this family.
I cannot find him in TN before 1880
John Bowington is buried at McBroom cemetery.
Thank you
Bettie in TN
