Children of Mary Murphy (1810-1875) and John Bowes (1808-1854), Frances Hoart side

See this post for a life sketch of  Mary Murphy (1810-1875).  She married John Bowes (1808- 1854) about 1830 in Ireland.  These are Frances Hoart Poth's second great-grandparents on her mother's mother's mother's side.  They had seven children and 38 grand children.  

The family immigrated to the U.S. during the Irish Potato Famine.   John died when their oldest child was 23, and their youngest was just 11.   Mary lived a lot longer, but I am not sure where she was in her last years.  I presume she was living with one of her children, but I can't locate the 1870 census for several of the children. 

Their oldest son James married and stayed in Fairfield County OH to be a farmer and raise a large family.  Their second child Catherine married a farmer, eventually settled in Kansas, and had 13 children.  Their third child, Mary Frances, married a brickmason and settled in Kansas City Missouri, and had 10 children.  Their fourth child, Lawrence, was married twice (his first wife died when their daughter was very young) and was a farmer in Kansas.  The youngest three children stayed single:   Margaret became a nun in Ohio and Indiana; Thomas served for the Union in the Civil War and became a dry goods merchant in Ohio; Hanoria ("Nora") became a nurse and housekeeper.
