[7693] Joseph left 201 acres; in 1841 he and "Mary" built a three and a half story, four bay stone house near Warm Springs - see folder, "View of the Perry Co. Warm Springs," distributed by innkeeper Alan Hetrick (Warm Springs Lodge, Landisburg, PA 17070). For the Bower family, see "The Christopher Bower Story," L. Miles Bower (Blain, PA: 1971) and http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Cliffs/5410/perryroots.html. Ancestry.com offers: "Bower Name Meaning - Scottish: occupational name for a bow maker, Older Scots bowar, equivalent to English Bowyer. English and Scottish: from Middle English bur, bour bower, cottage, inner room (Old English bur), hence a topographic name for someone who lived in a small cottage, an occupational name for a house servant who attended his master in his private quarters (see Bowerman), or a habitational name from any of various places, for example in Essex, named Bower or Bowers from this word."
