John (aka Johannes) (John Bowman (pioneer)), Col. Abraham, Maj. Joseph and Capt. Isaac Bowman were excellent horsemen and later known in John Wayland's book as the "Four Centaurs of Cedar Creek", and all of whom were among the earliest pioneers to settle in Kentucky and serve as prominent officers in the Continental Army. While his younger brothers were in Kentucky, Jacob Bowman and brother-in-law George Wright had earlier removed to the old 96th District in the Province of South Carolina where he owned a grist mill and trading post on the Reedy River. He was also the brother-in-law of frontiersmen Isaac Ruddell, Lorentz Stephens, Peter Deyerle, Henry Richardson, George Brinker and the aforementioned George Wright. A future great-grandson, Abram Hite Bowman. in 1919 would found Kentucky's first airport, Bowman Field, which is the oldest continually operating airport in North America. His grandnephew, Col. Abraham's grandson John Bryan Bowman, founded the University of Kentucky and the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky. (en)
