Events in My Family Tree: January 20

I might be related to the first couple listed in the marriages on both sides.  I know that Bertha Dunstan is the daughter of my great-grandmother's brother.  But I have Bowkers in my tree from a branch of my Armstrong line.  Bowker isn't that common of a name, so I'm wondering if Daniel is related to them.

Births

Daniel Longanecker was born January 20, 1775.  He was married to Sarah Mack, daughter of Alexander Mock, who is my 2nd cousin 6x removed.

Calvert Gaunt, son of William Allen Gaunt and Mollie Parrott, was born January 20, 1869 in Indiana.  He is my 3rd cousin 3x removed.

Emma Evelyn Gaunt, daughter of William Alvin Gaunt and Mamie B. Mitchell, was born January 20, 1924.  She is my 4th cousin 2x removed.

Lois Adele Weaver, daughter of James Henry Weaver and Ada Adelle Allen, was born January 20, 1927.  She is my 5th cousin on my Gauntt line through the Allens.

Marjorie Louise Clark, daughter of Oliver Frank Clark and Mildred Blanche Benson, was born January 20, 1932.  She is my 5th cousin once removed through my Gauntt line.

Warren Mason was born January 20, 1963 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.  He is my 3rd cousin through my Gorodetsky line.

Christine Derkacs was born January 20, 1970.  She is my 5th cousin 2x removed on my Gauntt line.

Adam Kyle Freitag was born January 20, 1982.  He is my 4th cousin once removed through my Meckler line.

Laura Jacqueline Freitag was born January 20, 1990 in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada.  She is not Adam Freitag's sister but is also my 4th cousin once removed through my Meckler line.


Marriages

Daniel H. Bowker and Bertha Dunstan, daughter of Frederick Dunstan and Anna Waltz Horner, were married on January 20, 1925 in Mount Holly, Burlington County, New Jersey.  Bertha is my 1st cousin 2x removed.

Victor Sigmund Perlman, son of Rubin Perlman and Miriam Kramer, and Adrienne Sekula were married on January 20, 1978 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.  Victor is my 2nd cousin once removed on my Nowicki line.


Deaths

Ann Gaunt, daughter of Hananiah Gaunt and Ann Ridgway, died January 20, 1817 at the age of 71, probably in New Jersey.  She is my 5th great-grandaunt.

Lewis Leedy Garber died January 20, 1924 at the age of 90 in Richland County, Ohio.  He was married to Mary Mock, daughter of John Mock and Mary Brown, who is my 4th cousin 4x removed.

James Clayton Gaunt, son of Mack Gaunt and Martha Nora Martin, is considered to have died January 20, 1945 at the age of 22.  He was MIA during World War II.  He is my 5th cousin once removed.

Alice Ida Sellers, daughter of David Sellers and Elsie Robinson, died January 20, 1957 at the age of 80 in Dallas, Polk County, Oregon.  She is my 5th cousin 2x removed.

Elwood Lambert Allen, son of Cyrus Kunze Allen and Clara Barton Shinn, died January 20, 1970 at the age of 74.  He is my 4th cousin once removed through my Gauntt line.

Arnold Lesser died January 20, 1996 at the age of 74 in Broward County, Florida.  He had been married to Taube Michels, daughter of Barnet Michels and Rose Yudelson, who is my 2nd cousin 2x removed on my Jaffe line (about which I know very little).

Victor Lederman, son of Gabriel William Lederman and Anna Gordon, died January 20, 2006 at the age of 79, possibly in Florida.  He is my 1st cousin 2x removed via the Gordons.
