  • Notes 
    • NOTE 1./ MARRIAGE: BEF 1782, Nashville, NC
      Since daughter Rachel's birth date is 1782 and her last name is given as Titus rather than Bowen, it can be assumed that daughter Rachel was born of Ebenezer and Rachel, making their marriage in 1781 or before. 'The Tennessee Historical Magazine,' March 1917, noted in John R. Boots, 'The Mat(t0hews Family,' (WordPerfect format on computer disk, 1995), File Mathews02, reports that after her Bowen husband died, she took her three daughters to Nashville in 1782/3 and married Ebenezer Titus. Given the above data, it would seem that Rachel and Ebenezer were married before Rachel came to Nashville; with a marriage probably in Augusta County, VA. Ebenezer probably arrived without his family
      in 1780 with Robertson's party (neither Rachel or Ebenezer appear in Donelson's Journal). Since the trip to the Cumberland settlement was extremely dangerous, it also appears likely that Rachel came with her
      two Bowen daughters, and one Titus daughter later, in 1783.

      MARRIAGE: AUG 1779- SEP 1779
