Hello, my mother's paternal grandmother was an Emily "Molly" Cox who I suspect may be the same "Mollie" mentioned in this thread.  She married a Plowman from Jerseyville and had a squad of children, including my grandfather.

For some reason my mother always mentioned Bowraville when she talked about going to visit her as a child but always referred to as Molly Cox, never Nana Plowman. She recalls Molly having cows and watching her milk them. I'd ask her to clarify but she died some years back.

Can anybody clarify any of this for me?  I don't understand why Bowraville was significant to my mother in relation to the Cox family when Molly Cox and her husband and kids resided in Jerseyville.  Perhaps it was when she visited the rest of the family.

Thanks,
Gillian
