Chuck, I have bits and pieces of this book. There is a lot of good information in this book that we need to take a second look at. What I'm trying to say is the records in this book are good to have. Some of the families are not correct and some are not complete. Some are written as probably, which means he was not sure. I would not call this book junk, just beware and do your own research on the book.

Thomas FARQUHAR was one of the most prominent of those at the turn of the century who fabricated genealogies and lied about his research in order to collect undeserved fees from prominent people who trusted him to trace their family lines. My own BOWLES line is exactly ONE person long Levica Jane BOWLES m. James DUNCAN and despite my Bowles line having one ONE person, Farquhar lied about her unknown parents and established a false genealogy. If this fraud artist can muck up a BOWLES line one person long, just imagine what he did to yours. And just in case anyone thinks I am slamming this book because of the error with my ancestor I would direct you to the Rootsweb newsletter which did a comprehensive article on the career of this infamous fraud artist. Caveat Emptor (let the buyer beware) when it comes to the work of con-man Thomas FARQUHAR james wall

There was several lady's wanting a copy of the book on some old 2006 post, So since I seen it for veiwing on google thought I would give the link. As always (and like u said) read at your own risk and back tract what somone has written if ur not sure.

I have not checked the Wythe co VA court house on info pertaining to this William Boles but I plan to next week. He may even be a relation to Jane Bowles. I had forgotten about him until I was searching ancestry the other day. I will check his info out. I searched Pulaski co Va court house yesterday and there was only 3 Bowles listed in the entire 1839 -1900 marriage index. G.M Bowles (31) years old Married Feb 26 1896 Leanne Williams (21) Fluvanna co VA Ash co NC parents are B & S Bowles and hers W. M & M.

Annette, John wrote his will in 1702 and it was proven in 1703. John Jr. was bapt Feb. 1703/4. I still believe John, Jr. was born after his father died. Another thing, the land was listed in Talbot Co. In his will and the 1733 census it is in Kent Co ? Talbot Co is part of Kent Co. Leathel, CALENDAR OF WILL, Vol 3 John Bowles Talbot County 11 Jan 1702, proven Aug 1703 Calendar Switch and Double Dates Beginning in 45 B.C., many parts of the world used the Julian calendar to mark the passage of time. By the Julian calendar, March 25 was the first day of the year and each year was 365 days and 6 hours long. In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII determined that the Julian calendar was incorrect: each day was just a little bit too long and the human calendar wasn't keeping up with nature's calendar. To solve the problem, Pope Gregory XIII created what is known as the Gregorian calendar. This new calendar changed the first day of the year to January 1 and also jumped ahead by 10 days to make up for the lost time. The practice of double dating resulted from the switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. Not all countries and people accepted this new calendar at the same time. England and the American colonies didn't officially accept it until 1752. Before that date, the government observed March 25 as the first of the year, but most of the population observed January 1 as the first of the year. For this reason, many people wrote dates falling between January 1 and March 25 with both years, as in the following examples. Julian or Old Style Gregorian or New Style Double Date December 25, 1718 December 25, 1718 December 25, 1718 January 1, 1718 January 1, 1719 January 1, 1718/19 February 2, 1718 February 2, 1719 February 2, 1718/19 March 20, 1718 March 20, 1719 March 20, 1718/19 March 25, 1719 March 25, 1719 March 25, 1719 By the time England and the colonies adopted the new calendar, the discrepancy between the calendars was eleven days. To resolve the discrepancy, the government ordered that September 2, 1752 be followed by September 14, 1752. Some people also added 11 days to their birth dates (a fact which is not noted on their birth certificates). You should also watch for dates that are recorded as double dates even after all calendars had officially switched. People sometimes accidentally wrote double dates.

Colonial families of the Eastern Shore Volume 2 Isaac Bowles was the father of: John Bowles died by 6 May 1704; Isaac died by 1709; and James died by 6 Nov 1753. INHABITANTS OF KENT CO. MD 1637-1787, DEBT(TAX?) BOOKS 1733-1769 Isaac Bowles-Comegies Fancy-1733-1735 James Bowles-Boulston,Cheseldine-1733-1769 John Bowles- Bowlston, Tullys Fancy 1733-1747 When John Bowles died in 1675 he owned a piece of land called "Boulston". In 1733 Isaac Bowles the son of James owned Comegies Fancy part of the Comegy Farm that James brother John purchased in 1690. In 1733 James Bowles and his son John owned "Bowlstone" the land that was surveyed to his grandfather John in 1672. On 6 March 1690 John Bowles purchased from Cornelius Comegs and his wife Rebecca 300 acres called Comeggys Farms. On 7 May 1691 John Bowles of Kent County conveyed to his brother Isaac Bowles and Mary his wife of the same county, and after their decease to Isaac Bowles, Jr., the son of James Bowles and Mary Bowles, 2/3 of a tract of 300 acres called Comeggys Farm lately in the occupation of Cornelius Comegys, of Kent Co Gentleman, and now in the occupation of Isaac Bowles. John Bowles m Margaret McNeill Sept. 4, 170- Kent Co Md The estate of Margrett Bowles was admin. on Nov 1710 and 6 Nov 1711 by Francis Meeks. CALENDAR OF WILL, Vol 3 John Bowles Talbot County 11 Jan 1702, proven Aug 1703 John Bowles son of Isaac Bowles married Margaret McNeil, Sept 4, 1700. This was not John's first marriage. John had a daughter before he married Margaret, no sons listed in his will 1702. I believe John Bowles dec'd by Oct 28,1702 and John Bowles who wrote his will dated Jan 11,1702 are the same person. McNeil and MacCraw are Irish names. I also believe John Boles ,Jr bapt. Feb.13,1703/4 is the son of John Bowles and Margaret McNeil. Now we have five generations between about 1580 and 1703.
