Research Note: It should be noted that only ONE marriage is recorded for Luther, to Hannah Hamilton. Susanna, the "second" wife died 3 months before Hannah, thus making the marriage improbable or at least requiring much more investigation before accepting this as fact. This confusion stems from the fact that tombstones exist which name both women as "wife of Luther Bowman" and are next to him in the cemetery (see attached ts photos). Were Luther and Hannah divorced? What caused the death of both women in 1851?
