As you all know, we are not allowed to sell anything on our surname lists. I'm sending this notice just as I send notices of other books to let you know that such a book exists. Perhaps you can find it in your local library, or can obtain it through Interlibrary Loan. Anyone know about the Bolles or Bowles in this book? We don't have enough information about Massachusetts Bowles families posted on the Bowles list. Maybe we can rustle up a volunteer...

John Heard NORRIS married Lucy NORRIS daughter of Rodolphus NORRIS and > Dorothea PEAKE" First I have never seen anything to suggest Dorthea being a Peake. I have seen both Gent & Brown used as her surname but not sure what is correct.Francis Peake did come to KY in same Catholic Migration as Rodolphus so it is possible. Second they did not have a daughter Lucy. See his will below. Dave Will of Rodolph Norris, copied from a book at Willard Library, Evansville p. 177 Will of Rodolph Norris, "in perfect health," ask that all debts be paid, and gives to beloved wife Dorotha Norris during her life the whole estate, both real and personal, including household furniture, stock, lands and tenements. At her death, to beloved daughter Susanna Norris all the household furniture, to wit, four featherbeds and furniture, one loom and gear, one hackle, one woolen wheel, one linen wheel, one square table, one small chest, two pewter dishes and nin pewter plates, with all the household appendages, also one mare colt aged 10 months, one side saddle and bridle. All the residue of the estate, including land, horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, geese and fowls, after deaath of wife, being what remains of them, to be equally divided between nine children, Mary Norris, Bibianna Norris, Ann Norris, Jane Norris, Susanna Norris, Wilfred Norris, Richard Norris, Enoch Norris and William Norris.

Myers. NewYork, 1916. (119p.):79 Nelson County, Ky Tax List 1800 Rodolph Norris was born around the 1730's and took the Oath of Allegiance to the State of Maryland in 1778, after the start of the Revolutionary War37. He and his wife Dorothy (surname unknown) had ten known children. Three of these were known to have been born in St. Mary's County37: Mary Ann (b. Apr. 22, 1768, birth registered at St. Andrew's Church), Mary (bap. Aug. 25, 1771, at St. Francis Xavier, with John Bowls, Jr., and Monica Norris as sponsors), and Thomas (bap. June 27, 1773, at St. Francis Xavier, with John Low and Sarah Reily as sponsors). Some of the others10 may have been born in Kentucky: Bibiana, Jane, Susanna, Wilfred, Richard, Enoch, and William. Rodolph and Dorothy Norris were godparents to three of the children of his brother Ignatius Norris and Lucy Pike. Rodolph Norris was listed along with Francis Peake among the sixty members of the League of Catholic Families which began moving to Nelson County in 1785. Rodolph wrote his will on Apr. 9, 1812, and it was probated Feb. 21, 1814 (see copy in Section D of Appendix10). In it he mentions all his children except Thomas, who may have died or stayed behind in St. Mary's County. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry L.

Be sure and make note of the penciled comment on the fly leaf. This has been around before, with the cautions to take any of his info with a grain of salt. The author of this book has a notorious background of forcing information to fit the family from whom he was making his living writing family histories. As opposed to following information to see where it fit. Try a google search on him to get his history. Good hunting and good reading.

Your GGrandfather should have had a death certificate in AR in 1935. For several years after they began requiring them, many rural deaths were not reported because the family buried their own. There are books with Arkansas Death Record indexes. My library has them. You may be able to order one through inter-library loan if your library doesn't have them. I haven't ordered a death certificate from AR recently. I got one several years ago with no trouble. Maybe they are just slow. Call or write them again. I don't know about the name Eber. Could it be a shortened version of Ebenezer?

===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: [email protected] From: Howard Fuller <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [OXF] OFHS PRs for Milton, Berks. Hi Keith, As you say, the transcript of the Milton (Berkshire) parish register has no entry for the baptism of Richard Francis BOWLES in 1828, though the OFHS index to baptisms shows the baptisms of the other children of Thomas & Hester Sophia BOWLES at Milton: 1813 - Hester 1815 - John Samuel 1816 - Henry 1818 - Emily Harriet 1819 - Frederick Selwyn 1822 - Thomas 1826 - Samuel James 1830 - Frances Martha 1832 - Anna Mary 1834 - Alice Sophia As Milton was in Berkshire, its original parish registers have been deposited in the Berkshire Record Office at Reading. It is unfortunate that I can't easily go there as it would be useful to see whether the transcript is in error or whether there really were only three baptism entries in 1828, all in March. Perhaps someone else on this List could do this for us? ===================== Are you aware that Thomas & Hester Sophia BOWLES lived at Milton Hill House? This is a beautiful Georgian Mansion in a large and attractive estate a mile or so to the south of the village itself. The house and its estate have an interesting history. The estate is described in the Domesday Book of 1087 as belonging to Abingdon Abbey. After Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries in 1538, the Manor of Milton came into the hands of Thomas CALTON, a London goldsmith, and he built the first house at Milton Hill. In 1746 the Manor was sold to George COLBROOKE, and in 1776 he sold 'Heath Farm' up on the hill to John BOWLES of Abingdon, who enclosed the park. When John died in 1796, he left the estate to his son Thomas (your Thomas), and it was Thomas who built the House as we know it today. Thomas and his wife Hester Sophia SELLWOOD, of Abingdon, brought up their many children there. Thomas died in 1837, and was succeeded by John Samuel BOWLES, whose first wife was a granddaughter of Lord North who had lost the American colonies. Under the guidance of the architect Sir Gilbert Scott, John Samuel made many alterations to the House in the 1840s, adding many of the upstairs rooms and the painted ceiling in the Library. On his death in 1887, John Samuel was succeeded by his son Colonel Thomas John BOWLES who, after letting it to Charles MORRELL of Oxford for several years, sold the House and Estate in 1905 to Sir Frederick PRESTON. He in turn sold it in 1912 to Adam Mortimer SINGER, elder son of Isaac SINGER, of Niagara Falls, USA, founder of the sewing machine industry. Mortimer ran the Milton Hill Estate very actively, becoming well known for training race horses. He built houses for his workers, equipping them with novel modern facilities, such as a water supply and drainage and electricity generated on the estate. During the First World War he and his wife turned the House into a military hospital. He became a naturalised British Citizen and in 1920 was Knighted for his services. He died in 1936. Having lain empty for a few years, the Estate was bought in 1939 by the Esso Petroleum Company, who foreseeing World World 2, wanted an evacuation site for their Laboratories in central London. The national Petroleum Board also came to the site for its Accounts Department, and several temporary wooden huts were erected to house them. In subsequent years, after the Petroleum Board was disbanded, Esso set up its European Research Centre, and the wooden huts were replaced by more substantial buildings and new laboratories. The Mansion provided accommodation for visiting dignitaries from Esso companies worldwide. Both Mansion and Estate were carefully maintained, but in 1970 the Mansion and the Park were sold to the W H Smith books and stationery company. It changed hands again later and, with additional facilities, is now a Conference Centre and a very pleasant venue for weddings and other celebrations. As it happens, I worked for Esso Research at Milton Hill from 1946 until 1981...

Dear Howard Thank you so much for being SKS, and for the extra information on the Bowles family. My connection is actually through Hester Sophia SELLWOOD, who married Thomas Bowles in 1812. I hadn't realised that the house had been let to Charles Morrell, to whom I'm also connected, but looking at my records, I see that Charles' daughter Mary, married Walter CURVIE at Milton, St. Blaise in 1902. Once again, thank you for kindly answering my plea. Kind regards Keith
