Bowles and John W
Garrett were married in 1898 in
Lafayette Co, MS. She was born 1854 in MS and he was born 1867 in

Bowles, or was she a widow when they married? In 1910, she says she has not had any children. They have Andrew J. Gower(s) b.
Lawrence County, TN and his mother, Louisa
Garrett Gower(s) b. SC in the house with them in 1910. Andrew
Gowers is identified as a half brother. Does anyone know what the connection is here? Andrew's father was
Cummins McCoy Gowers. Was Andrew a half brother to Mary or to John?
