The parents of Mary "Polly" Bouseman (or Bowsman) are likely to be Adam Bowsman and Susannah Crowell. The name of her parents are published in a book published in 1976 with the title "The Harshman, Hershman, Hersman Family, Vol 2," where Mary's name is given as the spouse of Joseph Harshman.

Mary was married to Joseph Harshman in Preble County, Ohio on 26 December 1830. Their first 4 children were born in Ohio. They had likely settled in Pike County, Illinois in the late 1840's since the youngest two children who were enumerated in the 1850 U.S. Federal Census for Pike County, Illinois, were born in Illinois. Joseph and Mary were the parents of 8 children, two of which are buried in Gray Cemetery, as well as two of their grandchildren.

[Research note : It is more than likely that a gravestone exists for Mary, since the original contributor included the inscription information, that gives her date of death and her age at death. Mary's birth date is calculated from her death date and age at time of her death]
