I have recently added several more Ontario countys to my Bowles in Canada web site. That is now all counties from A to R entered and I've started working on Simcoe county. Most of them are just raw Bowles family information for each county but I've done one, Peel county, as a model for what I plan to do for each eventually. It includes the families documented connections to Ireland and lots of maps and pictures and a special page for the noteworthy descendants of this Bowles branch. Have a look at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bowlesfamily/george_bowles_family_of_peel_county.htm If anyone has any information about Bowles in the U.S. with connections to Bowles in Canada, I would like to hear about them.

Charlie, or anyone know who this Nathaniel Bowles is? Could he be related to John Bowles who married Celia White since he was buried in the White Cemetery? Since John Bowles and John Fleming Bowles, who lived in same part of Barren Co, Ky, DNA don't match. We could use a DNA test from someone related to this Nathaniel Bowles, Nathaniel Anderson Bowles and William T. Bowles b.abt 1795 to see which group they are related to. Also someone related to Zachariel Bowles listed in Anderson Bowles Will 1811. Leathel, Bowles, Nathaniel b: ABT. 1785 in VA buried in White Cem, Sulphur Lick, Monroe Co, KY

I agree with your Bowles list post of 5/31 that the Mary Bolls in the 1860 and the other census records is the widow of Thomas T. Bowles and her descendents. Following is some information from the 1850 Barren county census that dovetails with what you posted and may be useful information for someone.

Clothcovered hardback with gilt printing, 6-1/4x9-1/4, 370 pages, maps, charts, document reproductions, index. This is a withdrawn library book with the usual pocket, markings, and it is stamped "withdrawn". The call number data has been removed from the spine and it looks like and eighth of an inch of the spine went with it! Otherwise, the book is in good unmarked condition and judging from the amount of tremendous research in the ook, it surely must have taken years to put together. Very impressive! This is an important research tool for all Hutchins who participated in the Revolutionary War, and especially those in the New England colonies. I cannot stress enough the amount of data included in this book! It also includes the "Hutchins Genealogy", and reprinted here, compiled by Charles Hutchins, printed in Boston in 1885. The third book is: "Four Generations of the Family of Strangeman Hutchins and His Wife, Elizabeth Cox, as Known January 10, 1935.An Old Virginia Family Along the James River, By Marriage Joined to Other Immigrant Families of the Colony", ed.

I remember those days Linne, and I also remember a time where there wasn't a Bowles list, then there were two, and we have come a long way from that original two. :) Gracie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linne Gravestock" <linne@gravestock.name> To: <BOWLES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 11:20 PM Subject: Re: Bowles: Cemetery Resources > Gee, Robert, I'm truly puzzled, as I did easily get 962 Bowles scrolling > before my eyes, and I'm not a member of Ancestry.com.

I agree Linne, I went to findagrave and got the same amount of hits but I also checked Housewright and got a lot more hits. I did join so that I could add some information I had on some of my ancestors but that did not cost anything either. Robert has confused me, if you want to join do if not don t. I joined Ancestry and believe it is the best investment for genealogy I have made besides my computer and finding terrific people like you.

I did not find any Bowles listed. Ancestory.com will give me Bowles names if I subscribe to their service which is appearently the purpose of findagrave.com.

Gee, Robert, I'm truly puzzled, as I did easily get 962 Bowles scrolling before my eyes, and I'm not a member of Ancestry.com. And I wouldn't lead any of our members astray by trying to manipulate them into joining Ancestry. I see it as each member's choice at any time, but I don't have that as a hidden agenda. (What I've said here sounds much sterner in writing than it would if you and I were in person.) I just went back to the site to check it and once again got 962 Bowles to look at. And yes, there is a notation that if you didn't find who you were looking for, you can find more extensive records if you join Ancestry.com. If you and I were standing together talking, I'd ask you to pull up a chair and let me tell you the story of RootsWeb. Those of us who are oldtimers know that it had a touch-and-go, delicate history in the first few years. Ancestry.com funds RootsWeb now, which means that you and I are no longer asked to pay for the services that RootsWeb provides for us...so I would expect that Ancestry is going to have those notations come up now and then. But you and I can ignore them and exchange all kinds of information that we find in various cemeteries, libraries and other repositories, and we never have to pay anything to Ancestry. I guess that the Ancestry ads don't bother me because I know that they're keeping RootsWeb alive for us. Many years ago when RootsWeb asked us for contributions to keep the organization going, very few members paid anything. They even sent us electronic photos of all their servers and told us how they had to drive miles for parts and stay up all night fixing them, and this cost money, and would we please, please contribute? There was a daily, breathless tension as to whether RootsWeb would have to fold or not in the days before Ancestry rescued them. I kicked in just a tiny bit, because I didn't have much to give them. But I felt that RootsWeb was so heroic in keeping the business going, and so valuable to all of us who enjoyed genealogy, and it had so many more possibilities to it than the old U.S. Post Office route, that I gave what I could. In return for the contributions that we gave in its lifesupport days, RootsWeb decided to pay back everyone who contributed by giving them, after Ancestry came on the scene, further use of the Personalized Mailing List---for free. I told RootsWeb every variation of the "bowls" surname that I could think of at the time, and their robots scan every board or list that RootsWeb sponsors, and every midnight I get a long list of postings that has a Boles, Bowls, Bowles, Boales, etc. in it. All those odd and sundry postings that you see from me almost daily are a measure of RootsWeb's gratitude for the support that it received in a time of real desperation. I think that each of us, depending upon when we joined in the dance with RootsWeb and genealogy, will have a different take on how irritating Ancestry's signs and notations are. So just ignore the signs and use what you can. I'd rather not have ads coming up either, but if Ancestry stays solvent and decides to keep on funding RootsWeb, that means that we get to keep on enjoying each other's company and information on the Bowles list.

A question has been raised privately that needs to be responded to here. In essence, the question is "If two participants share the same distant ancestor according to their research, but the DNA results indicate that they are not related, could the DNA sample somehow have been corrupted? And, what does it take to get the lab to do a retake?" Quoting from: http://www.familytreedna.com/faq.html "The chance that a match does not exist due to infidelity or unreported adoptions occurs 2%-5% of the time per generation. For families trying to do family reconstruction, it is prudent to test 2 different known male cousins from each different branch. "In cases of unexpected results, FTDNA will re-test at no charge to confirm that a lab error is not an issue. In case that a retest is done and the results are confirmed, a $50 charge will be applied." So to answer the second question first, a participant who believes that the lab made an error in testing his sample can request that it be re-tested. Family Tree DNA will do so. If an error is found, there is no charge for the re-test. If they get the same results the second time, there is a $50 charge for the extra testing. Before someone rushes to have a sample re-tested however, I recommend that they reexamine their assumptions about their assumed family tree. I would asking the question at each generation, "Do I know with absolute certainty that the connection I have assumed did in fact exist?" Let me explain what I mean with an example. I was researching a friend's line (not Bowles) and we believed that the census evidence clearly linked his father with a family that came from Canada to New York. The family names and ages and the locale of where his father grew up all matched this family. Since my friend's father had run away from home as a teenager and had never told his son (my friend) anything about his grandparents, we had only the census evidence to guide us. Believing that we had made the correct link, we continued to investigate this Canadian family and traced it accurately back several generations. Just when we were patting ourselves on the back for finding his great-great grandparents, we discovered that our original assumption was mistaken. We found another census record with a weird spelling of his surname that clearly links him, not to the Canadian family, but to one in Boston. As I see it, there are five reasons why two participants who claim the same distant ancestor would receive radically different DNA results: 1. There was an adoption somewhere in the family tree. 2. There was infidelity somewhere in the tree. 3. A mistake has been made in connecting families within an assumed tree. 4. The lab made a mistake. 5. The sample itself was corrupted before the lab received it. It is pretty difficult, but not impossible, to track down instances of #1 or #2, especially if they occurred several generations back. A thorough re-examination of one's assumptions about his tree may be the first step to take. Before you request that the lab re-test your sample, consider carefully if there is any way that the sample could have been corrupted before they ever received it. Was the right person tested? Did anyone else touch the end of the swab stick where the DNA was collected? The chances of this happening are very small, but must be considered. If you've re-examined your assumptions about your family tree carefully and still conclude that you belong on a tree with someone who got different test results, then consider having the sample re-tested. One last thought... is it likely that the lab would misread a sample so badly that two samples that should have been the same would end up with mismatches on 10 or 12 markers? I could more easily understand them misreading one or two markers, but not 10. I guess I've muddied the waters even more, but all of this should be considered.

I placed my uncle, civil war veteran William Bowles on this site a year ago. I wrote to the Soldiers and Sailors home in Sandusky Ohio and they sent his death certificate and tombstone photo to me. I then went to Findagrave and submitted. My point being that it is a user submitted site so if the info is in error, you can correct it through the section where it says" Leave a Flower." There is a place to leave a notation or memorium in the section and it will appear on the page Best Regards, Randi Bowles Meentzen Always searching for Bowles, Strickling, Rogers Robert Wallace <rwallace15@comcast.net> wrote: I found my 3great grandfather's grave Jacob Boles listed however the information I copied from the gravestone for his 2nd wife did not match what appears at this site so either I or the transcriber got the date and month wrong.
