General Notes: Husband - Nelson Blair Bowman

---

He entered mercantile pursuits with his father and brother; retired from active trade in 1858. He was a director in the Monongahela National Bank and in the Monongahela Bridge Company. He long lived in retirement and elegance at "Nemacolin," an eminence which commanded a fine view of the Mohongahela River and surrounding country,-the same property which his father, Jacob Bowman, bought of Thomas Brown in 1788.
