AN Ancestry Myth re Nancy Agnes Bowen: There is a myth (something fictious) on Ancestry and with some applications for SAR & DAR. The myth is that Agnes Buchanan Bowen is the wife of John Byars, Jr. Note that the wife of John Byars, Jr., was Nancy Agnes Bowen, not Agnes Buchanan Bowen. Agnes Buchanan Bowen was her Aunt and sister of Arthur. The dates for Agnes the Aunt were 1735-1801 while the dates for Nancy Agnes Bowen were 1772-1845. Agnes Buchanan Bowen married first James McFerran and secondly Archibald Buchanan. Agnes and Archibald can be found on Find-a-Grave. Another variation is that Nancy Anne Bowen, also another Aunt of Nancy Agnes and sister to Agnes Bowen McFerran Buchanan, is Nancy Agnes Bowen. I know that it is confusing, but after much research I found out what was happening. I have proven for SAR that Nancy Agnes Bowen (1772-1845) was my great great grandmother, mother of Jane Byers, wife of David Wampler.
