The Breining Family Home Page

I am searching for the family of John Bowden. He arrived in the US from England about 1800. He is my 3rd Great Grandfather. Married to Debia Stout June 3, 1816 in Hunterdon County, NJ. John disappeared from the Census records after 1840. They had 8 children 5 sons and 3 daughters.
On my father's side I am looking for his birth family. Mother Anna W. Jenks lived in Bristol PA around 1906 when she died of cancer and gave my father up for adoption. Her married name (unrelated) was Conover at the time she died. My father was adopted by Bert Breining who is a relative of some sort, but we don't know how we are related. We believe Anna had a brother named Leroy and a sister named Ida Jenks.
