As I continue my search, I find a family tree with Eleanor J. Bowles married to Sheldon Canee. However her parents are Thomas Carrington Bowles b. 1798 married to Jane Rogers 28 Mar 1819 in Dauphin, PA. What gets moe interesting is that Thomas' mother's last name is Crawfod which the first name of one of my Robert and Jane Bowles children. Seems more than chance, but I can't get the connection if there is one. Mary

Hello, I have been looking at the info I have and I found Robert Bowles married Jane Ross in Washington Co. Maryland 25 May 1819. This fits in with their first child being born in Maryland in 1821 and the rest born in Pennsylvania. Also I found a James H. Bowles married 21 Dec 1821 in Washington County Maryland. Anyone have anything on James? Thanks, Mary

Fulton County was created out of Bedford County in 1850 in time for the census. The only Bowles I find in Bedford County in 1840 is a William Bowls. If the census record is true, then it appears that your Robert's family moved there between 1840-50. Not much help, I know. One thought... William might have been a brother or cousin, giving Robert a reason to move there. On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 12:18 AM, Don and Mary <dande5604@cox.net> wrote: > This is my family.

This is my family. I have that information. Then in the 1860 census in the same county, I have my great grandfather Robert Bowles and his wife Caroline Miller. I have been to their gravesite in Chillicothe Missouri. Their daughter Addie Bowles married my grandfather Clyde Burberry. My trouble comes from where Jane Bowles fits into the family. Possibly her maiden name was Ross which would go with the Ross Bowles. I have a picture of her wearing a hat that looks Amish. Not sure about that. I have a daughter for Robert and Jane named Eleanor. I found an Eleanor married to a Candu who had a mother in law Jane Bowles living with them. Just not sure if that connection fits. Also I can't go back any farther than Robert Bowles born around 1800. There are a lot of Bowles, but not a lot of them from Pennsylvania.

Bill Bowles sent me a photo he took of the grave marker for Frank Bowles who is buried in Boot HIll at Tombstone AZ. There are several pictures of this on the Internet (search for Frank Bowles and Boot Hill or Tombstone). It appears that his name was James Franklin Bowles. I've located and transcribed the census records for 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 for him, and they are listed below. I'm not related to him, and have no other information about him, but a search on the Internet will certainly turn up more about this family. 1850 Federal Census: Texas, Milam County, Milam and Williamson District, page 15B household 419/435 John Bowles - 48 M, farmer, born MS Milly C.

Author: desloan Surnames: Hoover, Moss, Kinley Classification: obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.hoover/1970/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Copied from "The Radical, Richmond, Indiana, Thursday, July 30, 1868" "Obituary - Henry Hoover." The above named venerable citizen departed this life at his residence in this city at about 12 o'clock on Thursday last. The following sketch from his own hand will render any extended notice of our own unnecessary. He handed us the manuscript only a few weeks before his death, expressing, however, no desire that it should be published. But as he appeared to leave the responsibility with us, we have, after due consideration, concluded that it should not be withheld from the public. It gives a most graphic impression of the man and his times, and it possesses besides. Much more than mere personal interest, being in fact a valuable contribution to our pioneer history. It appears to have been written about a year ago, and although his health had begun to decline, it exhibits no decline of his mental powers: I was born in Randolph County, North Carolina, on the 22nd day of September, 1788. The county of Randolph is covered with pitch pine and the surface is hilly and some mountains. The shrubbery is chinkapin, whortleberries, grape vines and briers. The creeks and branches have narrow strips of bottom land, very rich. The upland is poor, stony, and rocky. My father's farm was on a creek called Huwarry [Uwharrie River], and contained five hundred acres, thirty-six acres of creek bottom. In the year 1795, in the month of August, a freshet of high water submerged the farm, destroying the growing corn crop, carrying away fences, mills, barns, and houses, with lose of live stock; and in the year 1798, another freshet, nearly equal in volume, visited the farmers. These floods caused my father to enquire for a new country, and much was then spoken on the Miamies, and the Ohio. There were thousands of acres of land belonging to the State, held at the price of surveying and making a title, but of so small a value, that it remain3d in a wild state; small cabins with earth floors, could be seen on the hillsides, and on mountains with acres fenced, and white flint rocks and stones, making farming a poor trade. In the year 1800, my father and several of his neighbors, on horseback started for this new country. They crossed the Blue Ridge, and down the Kanawha, to the Ohio River, where my uncle John Moss, had a few years before settled. They then crossed the river, thence to Cillicothe, and thence to Waynesville, a village on the little Miami settled by Friends, of which society my father and family were members. After a cursory view of the country, now Warren and Montgomery counties, they started for their homes they had left. Crossing the Ohio at Cincinati, a town of five hundred inhabitants, thence to Lexington, thence to the Crab Orchard, Cumberland Gap and thence to old Randolph [Wilderness Road]- quite pleased with the new country they had visited. In the fall of 1801, several of my uncles sold their homesteads, and left the land of their nativity for the Miamies, or the Ohio, as those new countries were then called. They crossed the Blue Ridge, then to Abingdon, then to Cumberland Gap, then to Crab Orchard, then to Lexington, then across the Ohio to Cincinnati, and then to a settlement of Jersey people ten miles south of Dayton, where they passed the winter. During the winter they examined the country for homes, and finally entered land some ten miles north of Dayton, on the northwest branch of the Great Miami, commonly called Stillwater; and in the Spring of 1802, drove their teams, and with their families moved each to his own land, built cabins, and prepared for opening a few acres for a corn field. I will here leave these pioneers and pass to my father and others, who in September of 1802, left their homes and passed westward on the same road of those who the year before had moved to the west. Crossing the Ohio at Cincinnati, then to Hamilton where stood a block house used as a place of defense in St. Clair's and Wayne's Indian Wars, thence to Dayton, a village of a few buckeye cabins, in a thicket of hazel bushes, thence across Mad river and the Great Miami, and up Stillwater to the cabin my uncle David Hoover. These pioneers had fine lots of corn, pumpkins, turnips, and cabbages. Here our difficulties commenced. Of the seventy souls who in the spring settled there, not one escaped the ague and fever; which caused my father to regret his leaving old Randolph, and so troubled was his mind that he proposed moving back if his family would agree to such a proposition. This question was submitted to my brother David the senior of his family who decided the question in t! his way: that to drive a team back to old Randolph, or be hanged he would hang - so the matter was settled. My father sold a horse to Peter Felix, who lived at a French village on the Great Miami, for three hundred bushels of corn; and in the dead of the winter my father, brother Frederick, a Negro and myself each with a sack, left for Stanton [Staunton, OH.]. We had no road or path, merely a section line, and snow ten inches deep, the distance say ten miles. We followed the blazes on the trees and in the evening crossed the Miami at Stanton. We shelled each two bushels of corn, and in the morning when the thermometer stood at zero, left for Stillwater, where we arrived near sunset. Here we discovered that father's feet and the negro's hands were frosted, so as to render them useless, especially so with my father. In midwinter we moved into a rail pen, with one side open where we had a log heap fire, and thus the winter passed away. I was the mill boy and often I passed the road to the Dayton mills with my linsey clothes, without even mittens; had to cross Stillwater three times, the Miami and Mad River, sometimes half frozen across, and not a shoe on my feet. Turkeys on those bottoms were by the thousands, and tame as household fowls when you were on horse back. During the winter my brother David killed a bear and then we feasted on bear meat and hominy and though we lived in an open rail pen, and corn bread and meat were our table food, yet we all gained flesh and no sickness. In the month of March, Father rode to uncle Edward Kinley's near Waynesville, and while there bought a farm of one hundred and ninety acres five miles north of Waynesville and four miles northeast of Lebanon, to which we moved in the month of April. The farm had five acres in wheat, and five in rye and we were to have one half of the wheat. We planted some ten acres in corn, all very productive. We were very much pleased with the thoughts of having once more wheat bread. We soon threshed a grist, and had it made into floor, and a fine loaf baked, and partook of it freely and soon we felt a water brash, and sick, and cast up our dinners, we had heard of sick wheat. We sold the wheat ti Seth Silvers an old Friend, a merchant of Waynesville. He said it would not make a Jersey man sick. While at this Farmville, the County of Warren was organized and there I attended Court, as [I] had never attended such an institution. There I saw Judge Dunlavy; lawyers St. Clair, Burnet, Gano and Longworth, Sheriff Harland. It was not my father's object in purchasing that farm to make a final settlement at that place. His object was to buy land at Congress price He sold his farm in Randolph for fifteen hundred dollars, and intended to buy land for his children. In the fall of 1801 John Smith from Randolph visited us, and in 1805 with his family arrived and bought a small farm in the neighborhood. In the year 1806 my brother David, uncle David Hoover traced a section line from a point ten miles north of Dayton, west, until it crossed White Water, some mile and a half north of Richmond. At that time this was a wilderness country, with some five families in what is now Wayne County. My brother was pleased with the land, water and timber and so reported to my father. On the 16th of June, 1806, my father and brother, John Smith and Jeremiah Cox, who had just arrived with his family from Carolina - while the greatest eclipse I ever saw was on the sun - started for White Water. Crossing the Miami at Franklin, then up Twin Creek and on to Eaton, just then laid off, and then along a path to White Water. After an examination of the land, water, springs, etc. my father bought for myself and children five quarter sections and returned home. During our stay in Warren County, I often attended Friends indulged meeting at Waynesville; was present when the first monthly meeting organized. The committee appointed for that purpose came from Redstone country; and of that number, Horton Howard and Ann Taylor, both ministers, were present. This was in the year 1804. In the year 1806, my father sold his farm at seven dollars per acre, for which he paid four dollars per acre. In the month of August 1806 David and Frederick Hoover, William Bulla, Elijah Wright and myself with a four horse wagon, started for White Water with axes, planes, to build cabins; and landed safely at a point where Elijah Wright settled. We built a rail tent, made clapboards and covered our rail pen. We done our own cooking, found and cut down bee trees and had honey in abundance. We built four log cabins, sowed two patches of turnips, and saw the cabins of John Smith and Jeremiah Cox. J. Cox bought three hundred and twenty acres, with four acres cleared, on which was built a cabin, embracing the town of Richmond, north of the National Road. We then returned to our homes. In September of the same year Frederick Hoover and Elijah moved to their cabins; and in the month of March following, father and David Hoover moved to White Water, my father having previously bu! ilt a cabin, where Henry Hunter now lives. Robert Hill, John Hawkins, Benjamin Modlin, Benjamin Morgan and some others had settled in the neighborhood. A few acres of land were cleared and fenced and planted in corn; and it grew finely and matured in good season. During the summer our bread stuff was exhausted. Five of us, with each an empty sack, passed along a path some six miles east of Eaton, visited a corn crib, and shelled each a grist, and then to the nearest mill, and then home and felt quite independent. A poor man without money and without bread would borrow one half dollar and leave his family in their rail pen, and ride some thirty miles, pay for his grist and mount his pony and find his way to the nearest mill, and then start for home; when night overtook him, would take off his grist, lie on the ground with his head on the sack and rest until the moon gave light, and then find his path and then to his tent. The family deeply interested for his safety, as also for bread, and more pleased at his safe return then a merchant's family would be at the return from a visit to the eastern cities after merchandise. The first meeting of Friends was held in a small cabin in the yard of Jeramiah Cox's residence used as a lumber cabin. There on benches made of broad rails, Friends sat and worshipped. Among them was my father and mother, Jeramiah Cox and wife, John Smith and family, Amos Hawkins, Frederick Hoover, Elijah Wright, John Hawkins, David Bowles, Benjamin Small, Robert Hill, Benjamin Medin, Benjamin Morgan, Beal Butler, with a few others. ...those days of simplicity of manners, and plainness of appearance; such reliance on Divine Providence; no theological questions interrupted the peace of society. In the year 1808 emigration was quite lively; and Friends selected a place to build a house of worship, and selected the ground now occupied by the large brick meeting house. It was considered a central point convenient to water and a very eligible location. This log meeting house was one room; and when the members increased, and a monthly meeting was organized, another log house was added, so as to accommodate males and females in the transacting of church discipline. In the year 1812 the first quarterly meeting was held at the new meeting house; and Friends who settled at Newport and other parts on the county soon made a large quarterly meeting. It was during this year that a court was held at the house of Richard Rue, Judge Beggs of Vincennes presiding. A boy was indicted for stealing a Barlow knife from the store of John Smith and myself and eleven other jurors were empanelled and sworn to try the case. We heard the evidence and pleadings and then retired further into the woods and seated on a log. I was called out to read the indictment, which stated that the said boy, not having the fear of God before his eyes, but instigated by the devil, did with force of arms, feloniously steal take and carry away a knife valued at twenty-five cents, with the county of Wayne. Having read the indictment, I asked the jury if they agree to the facts stated in the indictment; Jeramiah Cox replied that he supposed that the boy did steal the knife, but thought it was not quite so bad. At our courts and elections the game of fistcuffs was quite common; biting fingers and ears and gouging eyes was a part of our domestic policy. Our courts were attended by lawyers from Brookville, Lawerenceburg, and Madison. Among them were Amos Lane, Wm. Hendricks, James Noble, James B. May, Stephen C. Stephens, J. P. McKinney, John Test and James Rariden. Judges Miles C. Eggleston, Holman, E. Sparks, and Watts. Sheriffs, J. Turner, Wm. McLean, and Whitehead. Clerks, George Hunt, D. Hoover and Samuel Hannah. The county seat was located at Salisbury; and when the twelve mile purchase was made and settlements made, the question of moving the county seat commence and angry feeling was the consequence. During this question, the county of Fayette was formed to place the county seat nearer the center; and afterwards the county of Union was formed to place Salisbury farther from the center; these changes made, as each party had power by representation in the legislature. This warfare was not finally settled till 1820; and even now, 1867 a report to move the county seat aroused a very hostile feeling with the people of Centerville. In the year 1822 Friends had agree to build a house to accommodate a yearly meeting which was completed in 1823 and ws considered the largest collection of Friends in the United States. In the year 1828 at White Water Yearly Meeting the great separation took place. I was unacquainted with the cause, or the point in controversy. The meeting house was filled, when all of a sudden many arose and left the house. They took a lee line for a large new barn belonging to C. W. Starr with Elias Hicks as leader. There they organized and proceeded to the business before them. I attended several appointments and heard him discourse like an Evangelist. For this offense, I was expelled from membership and failed to attach myself to the new organization and thus remained an outsider for fifteen years. I now look back nearly forty years ago with sorrow. It developes human nature in its weakness; also developes the spirit of persecution and shows what a fire a spark may kindle. New articles of faith were assayed, which Friends had never before discussed; the word trinity, and the shed blood of Jesus Christ, became hobbles with the orthodox, the name which the party in pow! er assumed, and crimination and recrimination were freely indulged in. The right of church property duly discussed, and finally determined by law. And although forty years have passed away, the th.. In the flesh still remains. I would if I could tell the reader the cause of this difficulty; one thing I can say as confidently true, that the facts are of such a nature that the future state only will demonstrate whether the Orthodox or Hicksites are right, or rather whether both will not stand condemned, as wanting the mild forgiving spirit of the Savior. They believe in the same God, and in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Orthodox believe the Savior to be the very God, 3while the Hicksite believe him to be the sent of the Father, the son of God. ...for the mantle of charity that we could see ourselves as others see us, and give that liberty if which we partake freely. Although an outsider, I did not forget the thought of a future state, and often on retiring to rest, and mentally ! exclaim, it will not do to die this way. I did in 1830 with my family, move to my farm on Nolansfork of White Water, where in 1842 I attended a Methodist camp meeting. During the services of the meeting, I was seriously impressed with the truths of the Gospel; were stamped on my mind. I saw those on the ground, who, like myself had enjoyed the blessings of a kind Providence, and who with me had wandered far from our Father's house; those associates of grog-shops were present, and I saw them in groceries and that day saw them for the last time. I felt, as the meeting progressed, and increasing load resting on me, as much so that on Sunday night, I remained at home alone, my family being on the camp ground; that night I wrestled and prayed and in the morning I repaired to the camp ground. The doors of the church were opened, and simmers invited to come in. I and my companion and one son embraced the invitation, and in due time others of my family came into the church. Tongue cannot express the joy at my escape from the sins and iniquities of th! e times. I was soon appointed a leader of a class, afterward recording steward; these places I filled some twelve years or until I moved to Richmond. These were joyful days; the love of God was the theme of my song; and though years have passed away, the seasons at our class meeting are still fresh in my mind; and the query often is presented to my mind why, the present continued coldness in the churches and why almost ignore class meetings? The answer is prominently impressed on my mind. I said the answer is impressed on my mind, and grows out of facts too palpable to need proof. The young divine who has for years been resting his elbows at college walls has a smattering of Greek; does not willingly stoop so low as to attend class meetings. His dignity does not admit of such a compromise; and if class meetings must be perpetuated, let such attend to them who are merely homemade preachers. He is not in a state so lowly, as to speak to an old sister concerning her progress in the paths of righteousness; the young men and women may learn at home; he is the minister in charge; has obtained his knowledge by deep study; and his deep sermons over which he has pondered a week, must be received as gospel truth. This point the church has been tending to for years. The preaching has tended to a inadequate to praise God; and hence the introduction of melodeons, organs and pianos, accompanied by a choir, and the congregation to sit silent and be sung at. In this state of religious feeling, I could not enjoy as I had in a simpler mode of worship, the love of the brethren, nor the love of the religion which I professed. I absented myself from the Church and finally withdrew. Not in ill-feeling, but rather in sadness, to see the church ritual to take the lead as the first consideration, and holiness and true religion standing second. I did not suffer myself to use unfriendly words, against a body of men with whom I had labored and prayed; and who had with the help of the Lord, made me a better man. Since I withdrew I have attended the Hicksite meeting, and the Orthodox meeting on Marion Street. I stand now an outsider, but feel rather that to identify myself with a religious organization is a duty I owe myself and the cause of truth and righteousness. I fell that I could truly worship with the Hicksites, the Orthodox, or the United Brethren and I have the privilege of choice in this matter. The church is a stepping forward i! n a noble cause, and yet I believe salvation does not rest on the church membership, but on a good conscience, and the observation of the precepts of Jesus, embraced in a few words; Love of God, and man, and to render to others, whatever we would demand of others. But the love of the world is now the object of pursuit; it has made its way even into the churches; and the ministers operate on the membership, as bankers operate on borrows of money. What a change a few years have wrought not only in the Methodist church, but even in the Quaker membership! The love of money, fine carriages, fine dwellings, and fine clothes takes the first seat, and governs the whole mass. The days of simplicity, plainness of dress seem to have passed away, and pride and display is the religion now recognized. The means of display at command invite a compliance with the fashion. On the 9th of August 1853 I lost by death my dear companion with whom I had lived forty-three years. This called for a change in domestic and home concerns. Two of my sons moved to lands I had bought in Kosclusko county; and two sons and one daughter moved to Iowa, and in less than three years were laid side by side in the cemetery in Mount Vernon, thus leaving me alone with a large farm. In December 1854 I was again a married man, having married Lydia A. Vaughan; and in 1858 sold my homestead and moved to Richmond, where I now reside in peace. I have in my mind great cause to praise my Father in Heaven for his goodness and mercy; that during a long life He has been my Almighty Friend; and that through dangers seen and unseen He has brought me safe - so long as life and being lasts. ------------------------------ A few points only need be referenced to in connection with the above. The deceased married early, his first wife being Susannah a sister of the late Daniel Clark of this county. His early manhood was devoted to hard manual labor in improving his lands, yet his mental activity found scope in general reading, writing for the newspapers, and political aspirations. He collected a good library for his day, and was always interesting in conversation. He united with the Fifth Street Society of Friends within the past year The one striking point about the life of Henry Hoover was its admirable general completeness as contrasted with most of "the men of these degenerate days." Physically he was a model. In his prime he was one of the finest looking men to be found anywhere. Nature endowed him with an eye, a face, a head, a native dignity of bearing, which gave the world assurance of a man." His mind was equally well endowed, and was singularly versatile, combining sound practical common sense. - which ensured his success in worldly affairs - with warm social feelings, a ready flow of wit and humor, love of music, and crowned with strong devotional aspirations. We believe he was scarcely sick a day till his last illness, and that was in the main but a slow, painless decline; while his mental faculties remained clear almost to the close; and his religious hopes beamed forth brightly, triumphantly over the wreak of earthly existence. We saw him frequently during his last sickness, and it was tr! uly wonderful to witness his perfect calmness, and reliance on the promises of faith. He repeated passages from his favorite hymns, with all his characteristics appreciation and fervor, which we regret we did not take references to, as they would throw light on the elevated character of his religious sentiments. Thus completely, harmoniously rounded was this man's life; thus, full-orbed and cloudless set the sun of his earthly existence. Could mortal hope a happier lot? Under "Home News" in same newspaper as above, the following: The late Henry Hoover a short time before his death gave upwards of $100 to the Orphans' Home of this City." Also the following: 'Funeral of Henry Hoover. - The esteem in which this aged and intelligent citizen, this pioneer of Wayne County, was held by all classes, was evinced by the large attendance of leading citizens of all denominations at his funeral which took place last Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, from the Friends Church on 5th Street. Though he was a member of that church he seemed to belong to all the community, and not only a large representation from all the Churches and all classes of business men and the professions in our midst were present, but many prominent persons from other places who knew him, were there to pay their last tribute of respect to his mortal remains. The exercises at the Church were of a very solemn and interesting character, the ministers of both the Friends and Methodist churches taking part in there marks, and bearing testimony to the life of intelligent usefulness and Christianity which he had lived, and to the hope of immortal happiness and glory which he had entertained, through the last 21 years of his life since conversion, and which he had especially manifested near the close of his part in this earthly scene. At the close of the exercises at the church a long procession of carriages crowed with people followed the corpse to the Hoover Family Cemetery north of the City, where the body was interred to await the coming of the great day when the sea and the land shall give up their dead. In the triumph of faith his spirit was wafted up to the great Spirit of Sprits, and thus is taken from amongst us another link that connected the present with the past generation.

They are offering the mtDNAPlus kit at a reduced price. Since our project is a Bowles project and traces ancestry through the male Y-DNA, I have no way of reporting mtDNA results on our web site. However, that does not preclude someone from ordering the mtDNAPlus kit though our project. Your results would still be sent to you privately. Once again, just so we are clear on this, the Y-DNA is passed from father to son; daughters don't receive it. On the other hand, the mtDNA is passed from mother to children, but only the daughters can pass it on to their children. Thus it is a tool for tracing your maternal line: you to your mother to her mother, etc. If you are interested in ordered any of these kits, contact me privately or visit the join page.
