Continuing on our journey back through time to see who was living on the Mower homestead on Pushaw Road, in 1870 we find my great-great-grandparents, George and Elizabeth (Eastman) Mower, residing there with their family. Along with their children, we find my 3rd-great-grandfather, Martin Mower, is living there as well.
