  1. believe the correct date of birth was 1842. Went by Bouwman. The next generation changed the spelling to Bowman. Arrival was 1848 from the Netherlands. My great,great grandfather Evert Zagers came over in 1846 but not Bouwman. Cornelius was married by Rev Van Raalte in 1866 from my records. Information I have was provided by my Grandmother Helen Zagers (1880-1978) and John Bowman (1880-1969)

  2. Hi RH. Thanks for your comment. I am confident of the 1841 birth year because of his headstone, a birth record written in Dutch, the 1850 Census, his death certificate, and Civil War records. According to Dutch Immigrants to America and US and Canada Passenger and Immigration lists, Cornelis arrived in New York with his parents and siblings on April 27, 1847, and so I have corrected the date. According to Michigan County Marriage Records Cornelis and Dena were married on October 9, 1865, and I have corrected the date and added the location. I have also updated the spelling of his name. I have also added more census records.
