I believe we all know they were double dating in this period. I believe they had to be 18yrs old to witness a deed, ect. That being the case, both Gideon and David were born by 1731. Margaret Bowles was married to Drury Ragsdale his will dated 17 Nov 1749. Margaret was big with child when his will was written. The Ragsdales have accounted for the child that Margaret was big with, when the will was written in 1749. It is said that Margaret married Thomas Puryear in 1749 because of the signing of the deed for Thomas Puryear. The signing of the deed was before the will of Drury Ragsdale was written so she was married to Drury Ragsdale in March 1749. Margaret did marry Thomas Puryear and had at least one child, Ann Puryear who married John Wright in 1786. I believe Margaret Bowles is the mother of Elijah Bowles born 1751 and Daniel Claiborne the father. In 1767 David Bowles was guardian of his sister Margaret's children which had a estate. In 1769 David and Elijah are witnesses to a sale. Elijah would be 18yrs old at this time. In David's will he speaks of his lawsuit family, I think he was refering to his sisters children estate. Davids and Elijahs DNA don't match. Elijah named his first son Claibourne (probably Daniel Claibourne Bowles?) Elijah's son John Fleming Bowles named sons Claibourne and Daniel. In 1785 David, Martha, and Winney witness a will. Anybody know who this Martha Bowles is? Could she be Elijah's sister? Don't think because your DNA don't match, you are not part of a family.

I am a direct descendant of Walter Bowles (who married Alice Clarke)and who was born at Ashford in Kent to William Johnson Bowles and Mary Anne Anderson. So many people on Rootsweb lists have aided me in this hunt (and I think I have now got most of them??), and since I have just found this wee article in the Cyclopedia of New Zealand and just in case there are some of Walter's siblings' descendants on these lists, I am bringing it to their attention. "Walter Bowles, the Stationmaster at Palmerston North, is the son of Mr W.J. Bowles , of Rangiora, Canterbury, who was for many years in the service of the London North Western Railway Company. Educated partly at private schools in England, and partly at public schools in New Zealand, he came to the Colony with his parents in 1876. Joining the railway service as a cadet in Christchurch in 1878, Mr. Bowles was appointed a stationmaster in 1882. From 1885 to 1890 he was clerk in the traffic manager's office, Christchurch. Then till June, 1896, he held the position of chief relieving officer in the Canterbury district, when he was appointed stationmaster at Palmerston North. Mr. Bowles was married in 1893 to the eldest daughter of Mr. C. Vincent Clarke, of Waimate, Canterbury." They came on "The Douglas" arriving Wellington 22 Oct 1874, so the writer of this article was a little out with the year of arrival. But the year of marriage is correct - according to the "printout" it was 3 Jan 1893. Cheers Gail (Te Kohanga) ----- End forwarded message -----

To clarify who is eligible to test in the Bowles DNA project, the participant must be a male Bowles, whose paternal biological ancestry includes male Bowles' as far back as you know. The surname or Y-DNA test is based on the portion of one's DNA that is passed from father to son. Without getting too technical, male reproductive cells have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome; females have two X chromosomes. If the father contributes a Y chromosome to the mother's X chromosome, the child is male. If the father contributes an X chromosome, the child is female. Thus only male children receive the Y chromosome. It is a small portion of the Y chromosome that is used for this DNA test. The logic is that you can trace a family surname which is traditionally passed from father to child by tracing the Y chromosome that each father gives to each of his sons. Of course we are all aware of instances where a child's biological father is not his father of record, so DNA testing sometimes forces us to reconsider who our ancestors were. Hope this helps. -- Charlie Hartley Bowles DNA Project Administrator [mailto:[email protected]?subject=Bowles DNA Project] Project Web Page: [http://www.ancestors-genealogy.com/bowles/index.html] Project FAQ Page: [http://www.ancestors-genealogy.com/bowles/faqbowlesdna.html] Project JOIN Page: [http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=W26816&special=true]

At the end of the list of names, below, Kathy Rhodes ([email protected]) wrote that there was additional text which she hadn't yet transcribed. Now she has transcribed it and has asked me to send it along with the names. Here it is. Along with that are comments by Tom LaPorte ([email protected]), immediately below the list of names. Linne The address from the Guild of the Broguemakers states that..... "Before the Union with England, which has proved so fatal to Ireland, they held a proud position in the estimation of their fellow citizens for their respectability, independence, and ancient standing, in those days when agriculture was forwarded by the fostering hand of the now absentee, when commerce flourished, when labourers were paid for their toil, and when due attention was paid to the forms and rights of trade. Before the Union the journeymen of our trade could earn from 25s. to 30s. per week, whilst the employers turned into themselves a considerable revenue therefrom; at present a journeyman can earn no more than from 10s. to 12s. a week. The number of broguemakers before the Union was 120, and all that are now extant in this ancient and loyal city are the few that feel highly honoured by subscribing their names to your patriotic cause. " ===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: [email protected] From: [email protected] Subject: [IRL-LIMERICK] Limerick Guild of Broguemakers' - 1840 Members of the Limerick Guild of Broguemakers' as published in the Freeman's Journal on October 21 1840 Bowles, John Bowles, David Burke, Standish Carmody, John Carmody, Stephen Connors, James Currey, Patrick Dillon, Michael Downey, Thomas Foley, John Ford, Thomas Hogan, Patrick Kennedy, James Kennedy, Timothy Magrath, Patrick M'Namara, Patrick O'Brien, Michael O'Brien, Mortimer O'Connor, Michael O'Dowd, John O'Sullivan, Daniel O'Sullivan, Timothy O'Sullivan, James Prendergast, James Tuohy, John Ward, Timothy There was some additional text from the article which PROCEEDED the above list of names (however, I have yet to transcribe it; please email me off list if you are at all interested). NOTE: Original list of names was not in any sort of order; I have alphabetized by surname to make them easier for folks to find. klr 22 May 2008 ================================================================ Here are Tom's notes on the Bowles and the Broguemakers' Guild: Well I could probably add a thousand words to that reference if I had my Bowles in Limerick story all written up. I can give you some notes. The list given is part of a full page of the Freemen's Journal (a Dublin newspaper) listing the members of the various guilds in Limerick who took the brave step of publishing their names as joining in support of Daniel O'Connell "The Liberator of Ireland". For the times in Ireland this was a very brave step. In case you didn't know, a brogue is a cheap shoe. Broguemakers, shoemakers and cordwainers were all shoemakers but for various qualities of shoes and a different market. Brogues were worn by the peasant class, shoes by the middle class and cordwainers made the quality shoes of Italian leather for the nobility. John and David Bowles were almost certainly brothers but it's the other names in that list which help to connect up a whole bunch of Bowles references in Limerick. I've been working on sorting them out for quite a while now and that newspaper article was a major breakthrough. The third name in the list is Standish Burke (it's actually Bourke, the Burke is a typo) who was one of the witnesses at the 1825 baptism of Bridget Bowles daughter of Michael Bowles, a Broguemaker in Limerick. Michael Bowles' son's Joseph's baptism was witnessed by Patrick McNamara who is also on that list and his son Christopher's baptism was witnessed by Mort(imer) O'Brien who is also on that list. The Broguemakers John and David Bowles in the list each had Michael Dillon also from that list as a witness at a baptism of one of their children. John Bowles had married a Mary Dillon. So I think it's pretty safe to assume that John, David and Michael Bowles, all Brogue makers in Limerick at the same time and all so close to the same other families of Broguemakers that they witnessed their children's baptisms, were all brothers. Michael being the oldest. It even gets more complicated. William Bowles was a shoemaker in Limerick. His son Patrick's baptism was witnessed by a Mary Bourke and his son Michael's baptism was witnessed by a Bridget McNamara. When a Michael McNamara married an Eliza O'Brien in 1825 one of their witnesses was a Patrick Bowles who was a grocer in Limerick. With this connection to Michael McNamara and an O'Brien he would almost certainly have been connected to Michael, John, David and William. They are all of the right age to be siblings. Then we have Dominick Bolds, a shoemaker in Limerick, whose children's baptisms weren't witnessed by anybody from that list. He used Hartigan and O'Neills as witnesses. But William Bowles had one child's baptism witnessed by a Thomas O'Neill. So a slight connection and again the shoemaker thing. The Bolds versus Bowles spelling is strange. However, David Bowles, the Broguemaker who had Michael Dillon witness his son Denis' baptism also had a James Bolds witness the baptism of his son James. The other witness was a Mary Frawley and a Judith Frawley married a Henry Bowles in Limerick in the 1830's. Remember the name Henry Bowles for later. William Bowles' marriage was witnessed by James Bowles (not Bolds) and named a son James as did John Bowles. James Bowles married a Frances Kennedy and their child's baptism was witnessed by a John Kennedy. John Bowles marriage was witnessed by an Ellen Kennedy. The list of broguemakers in the paper included a James and a Timothy Kennedy. Not quite John but it turns out that their father was a John. So what did all these Bourkes, McNamaras, Dillons, O'Briens and Kennedys have to do with Bowles besides all being some kind of shoemakers and witnesses at each others church functions? Drumbanny is a little townland SE of Limerick along with the neighbouring townlands of Ballysimon and Kilbane and the major landowner of all three townlands was a Henry Bowles, an attorney of Limerick. Remember I said to remember the name Henry Bowles earlier. One of Henry's direct tenants was Michael McNamara and another was a Hartigan (who witnessed Dominick Bolds son's baptism above). Another tenant of Henry's was John Daly, whose daughter Mary married William Bowles. Bourkes also owned land at Drumbanny as did Barretts (whose daughter married another William Bowles whom I know nothing about yet). The broguemaker, Mortimer O'Brien farmed on Henry Bowles' land at Kilbane. O'Neill's also farmed at Drumbanny. So Henry Bowles, attorney and major landowner, had all those broguemakers as tenants. He wasn't the same class as the Bowles broguemakers. Maybe not but his father was. Going back 40 years earlier, Henry Bowles, dyer, of Limerick signed as a guarantor for a loan along with Daniel Bourke (those Bourkes again) and Jeremiah Blood, a cordwainer (i.e. a fancy shoemaker). To agree to stand together as loan guarantors these three were very closely associated. It was this Henry Bowles whose son went to Trinity College and became an attorney, made it wealthy somehow and acquired that land. All these other Bowles seem to be the poor cousins. That's the point where I'm working right now. More to come as I get it sorted out. Tom

New results for kit #106729 have been posted. Early results were disappointing for he was at best only a 10/12 match, but with the posting of results for markers 13-37, we now have him matching 35/37 with three of our folks in Group 1. Since this kit has ancestry in Essex, England, this group has not crossed the pond from America to England. My thought is that the common ancestor may be a generation or two back in England. The two mismatches are one number off from that of the rest of the group, and these are not normally considered fast mutating markers, but given the solid match of the other 35 markers, I think it is safe to assume that this kit belongs in Group 1. Email messages should have gone out to those in Group 1 who match this kit. I encourage you to get in touch with one another soon. This might be a good time to remind everyone that the more participants we have, the greater the chance of getting a match.
