16 Feb 2007 - Recently, I became aware of a book entitled, "Reminiscences of Mahanoy City", by Augusta Dillman THOMAS.  With a little census and other sleuthing, I discovered that Augusta DILLMAN, 1872-1952, was the first cousin of Elizabeth DILLMAN, who married David R. JAMES, the half-first cousin of Philip FRANCIS.  Additionally, Augusta DILLMAN was the daughter of Daniel DILLMAN and Isabel C. BOWMAN.  Isabel C. BOWMAN was the first cousin of David BOWMAN/BAUMAN of Carbon County, PA, who married Susan LENTZ.  David and Susan BOWMAN are mentioned in footnote #11 on page 15 of the annotated edition as the parents of Oliver Otis BOWMAN.  Philip FRANCIS'  sister, Margaret, was a servant in the household of Oliver Otis BOWMAN in the 1870-1880 censuses for Trenton, Mercer County, NJ.
