Deaths of Reese and Benjamin Bowers

We have been unable to obtain the date, or many of the particulars of this tragedy.

They were the sons of Rev. Valentine Bowers, who was an old and highly respected Baptist minister. They had two brothers, William C. and Joseph P. Bowers. Reese Bowers was a Baptist minister at one time. The father and sons were all Union men. Reese and Benjamin were very active in the Union cause and assisted in piloting Union men and refugees to Ellis.

On the day previous to their death they received word from L. W. Hampton, a prominent Union man of the Doe River Cove, that there were some refugees near his home who were wanting a man to pilot them. These men had some experience in that line and left their homes in what was called the Neck, crossed the mountain to a point on the Watauga river near the Fish Spring, intending to go from there to Mr. Hampton’s. They requested a woman, Mrs. Smith, to set them across the river in a canoe. A company of rebel soldiers had made a raid down in the vicinity of Elizabethton, and were returning just as the Bowers’ got across the river. The latter seeing them started to run, when the soldiers opened fire on them as they ran towards the hills near by; the soldiers pursued them and overtook them. It was told to us that the elder Bowers, Reese, prayed and begged for his life, while Benjamin fought and cursed them with his dying breath; but the fate of each was the same. We have heard different stories as to who killed these men, one that they were killed by the Johnson county home guards under Parker, but their cousin, Isaac Bowers, now a resident of Elizabethton, and whose character for truth is unquestionable, informs us that they were killed by Bozen’s men, and that he recognized a pistol taken from them by Motte, whom we have mentioned as having been connected with a number of other tragedies.

Reece married Phebe DeLoach about 1863 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. Phebe (daughter of John DeLoach and Phebe Wallen) was born about 1826 in Sullivan County, , , Tennessee; died about 1903 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
On his Application to the Guion Miller Roll of the Eastern Cherokees, dated 19 Aug 1907, James DeLoach stated that his parents were Reece Bowers and Phoebe DeLoach. He stated that the parents of Reece Bowers were V.B. and Abigail Bowers, and that the parents of Phoebe DeLoach were John and Phoebe DeLoach (Phoebe was born in sullivan County, TN).

Notes:

A birth certificate, or other civil record, which proves that Thomas was the son of John DeLoach has not been found. He is listed as such based upon the following circumstantial evidence: The 1840 Sullivan County Census lists John DeLoach with two sons between the age of 20-30. Thomas, and probably Nathan, could have been these sons. In the 1850 and 1860 Carter County censuses, Thomas has the household adjacent to John. There are no other DeLoach males listed in Northeastern Tennessee which could have been the father of Thomas. In the 1880 Carter County census, Thomas lists his father as being born in South Carolina. John was born in South Carolina.

Thomas married Perlina M. Oliver on 6 Oct 1842 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. Perlina (daughter of George R. Oliver and Susannah White) was born in Carter County, , , Tennessee; died after 1910 in Carter County, , , Tennessee; was buried in Siam Road, Elizabethton, Carter County, Tennessee.

Notes:

The name of Perlina is spelled differently is almost every civil record concerning her. The spelling P E R L I N A will be used for this record. This comes from the records of Jackie and Dawn Peters of Elizabethton, TN. Jackie is a descendant of the Oliver family of Northeastern Tennessee, as is Perlina. According to Jackie's records, Perlina's parents were George R. Oliver and Susannah White. His GEDCOM has been imported to show the ancestry of Perlina. The records of Albert Grindstaff, Independence, Missouri, also lists this same lineage. Census records indicate that Perlina's DOB was between 1820 and 1830; it was probably 1825 as shown on the 1850 and 1900 censuses. She is listed on the following Carter County censuses: 1850 1860 1870 1880 1900 Paulina 25 Polina 33 Palena 50 Pulina 50 garbled 75 In the 1850 thru 1880, she is listed as the wife of Thomas. In the 1900 Carter County census, she is in the household of her son, William DeLoach, and his wife, Frances Oliver. The Carter County Quarterly Minutes for January 1902 include a court order awarding Pliny DeLoach $4.00 as a Pauper Present. In the Treadway Cemetery of Carter County, there are the following graves: Died William DeLoach 4 September 1927 Francis DeLoach 18 November 1939 Plina DeLoach ???
