So, it is my hypothesis and conclusion that the first sentence in the 1976 ‘Riley County, Kansas’, article is probably incorrect (possibly due to ‘scrambled notes’ passed down in the family), and that the actual McAninch-Bowser marriage is the one originally reported in the 1922 book,

“Elizabeth Bowser, b. 1804, m. Henry McAninch”.
