  • The Bowen family traveled to Utah in 1861, as indicated in his mother's obituary. Further research is needed to determine the name of the company they traveled with. In some sources his given name is listed as "Marion," but the inscription on his gravestone shows his name as "Mervin" or "Mervyn."
