Descendants of John Hance Bowman

Fifth Generation


11. Russell (Hugh) Franklin (Nancy Bowman , Jacob , John , John Hance ) was born on 12 Oct 1824 in Big Laurel, Madison, NC. He died on 9 Jun 1864 in Barnes Branch, Big Laurel, Madison Co, NC and was buried in Tweed Cemetery, Chapel Hill, Madison Co, NC.

Russell married Mary Magdalene Ricker, daughter of William Ricker and Ursula Shelton, on 15 Oct 1842 in , Yancy Co., NC. Mary was born on 18 Apr 1823 in Big Laurel, Madison, NC. She died on 22 Oct 1914 in Madison Co, NC and was buried in Franklin Cem., Gunter Town, Madison Co, NC.

To my knowledge, there is only one Mary Magdelena and she was a RICKER.

(There is/was a very large RICKER family in Greene Co, TN, and she was

descended from them.) Her death certificate listed her as Mary Magdalene

FRANKLIN and gives her parents as "John" RICKER [John William?] and Ersley

SHELTON. I've seen it before, but have no idea where the GENTRY connection

may have been added as the records show her name before marriage thru her

life, and at her death as either RICKER or FRANKLIN.
