Disambiguation

To make things confusing, there were two Abel (aka Abell) Gowers living in Virginia at this time. One, Abel Gower, Sr., lived for a time in Brunswick Co., VA and moved southward to North Carolina with his family. A descendant of this Brunswick Co., VA Abel Gower, Sr., Gen James Robertson, was ultimately instrumentally involved in the founding of Nashville, TN (see Find A Grave Memorial # 8010613). Abel Gower, Sr. is frequently confused genealogically with the Abel (aka Abell) Gower of Henrico, Co., VA who married Jane (Hatcher) Branch Baugh.
