MarriageDaniel Bowen married Rebecca.3
WitnessHe was enumerated on the census on 30 August 1860 in the household of Elias Bowen, Sr., in Machias, Cattaraugus County, New York, USAG. There is some confusion about the line entries in this census. Daniel was still a young man, newly married, and named first in the household, implying that he was Head of Household. Yet, the entry for the value of the farm was recorded on the line for his father Elias. I am assuming that Elias was actually Head of Household. Included in the household with Elias (age 67), his wife Lydia Wellington (age 61), their son Daniel (age 21) and his wife Rebecca (age 20).3
CensusDaniel Bowen was head of the household in the census on 20 July 1870 in East Otto, Cattaraugus County, New York, USAG. included in the household with Daniel (age 30) were his wife Rebecca (age 30), their children Elmer (age 10), George (age 6), Justus (age 4) and Permelia (age 1).

WitnessRebecca was enumerated on the census on 30 August 1860 in the household of Elias Bowen, Sr., in Machias, Cattaraugus County, New York, USAG. There is some confusion about the line entries in this census. Daniel was still a young man, newly married, and named first in the household, implying that he was Head of Household. Yet, the entry for the value of the farm was recorded on the line for his father Elias. I am assuming that Elias was actually Head of Household. Included in the household with Elias (age 67), his wife Lydia Wellington (age 61), their son Daniel (age 21) and his wife Rebecca (age 20).1
