Bowater is my 3rd Gr-Grand Uncle by marriage.

The second of ten known children born to Robert Sumner Sr and Phebe Beals Sumner, Bowater married Rebeckah Burris on 10 Dec 1777 at Tom's Creek Quaker Mtg House in New Garden, Surry Co NC.

Known Children (and some possible) with Rebeckah:
Esther Sumner (b: 1778)
Phebe Sumner (b: abt 1782)
John Sumner (b: 1783)
Rachel Sumner Spargur (1785-1823)
Oliver Sumner
Isaac R Sumner
Thomas Sumner
Allen Sumner
Mary Sumner
Tabitha Sumner

1806: Bowater & Rebeckah Burras Sumner are granted certificates of membership into Quaker Monthly Mtg, Warren Co OH.

Notes: Depending on the source, the name Burris has different spellings: Burras, Burross are but two variations. For the ease of matching to more recent ancestors, I am keeping the name as Burris on my memorials.

Until 1785, Westfield Meeting House was known as Tom's Creek Meeting House.
