Abigail G. Buck was born one of at least 12 children to Rev. Jonathan Taylor Buck and Zuriah Covalt who moved to Carter, Tennessee from Bedford, Pennsylvania during the period 1791-1793. She married Rev. Valentine B. Bowers in 1808. They lived in the Siam Community of Carter County and had at least 12 children. Her grave is marked by a "native stone marker" according to the Bowers Cemetery (Carriage Hill Road) Index at http://files.usgwarchives.net/tn/carter/cemeteries/bowers.txt (Tennessee Tombstone Transcription Project --- USGenWeb Archives). Shown in the photo are the large tombstone for Rev. Valentine Bowers. Slightly below his stone are two small "native stones," one of which is probably Abigail's tombstone. Other children who are not listed below because I do not know their burial places are:
*** Rev. Henry Nave Bowers (1814-1866) of Newton, MO
*** Elizabeth Bowers Stout (1817-1880) of Carter, TN
*** Rev. Jonathan Buck Bowers (1820-1854) of Jackson, MO
*** Lavisa Bowers Paxton (1826-Unk) of Washington, MO
*** William Christly Bowers (1827-1880) of Carter, TN
*** Mary Lincoln Bowers Treadway (1835-1859) of Tennessee
