I'm searching for additional information about Robert Bowles, who resided in Clinton Co., IL, in 1840. (The name is Boles in other records.) Robert purchased 40 acres in Carlyle Township in 1839. He was involved in a land transaction in 1848. In 1849 the heirs of Robert Boles paid taxes on property in Clinton Co. I have evidence that three of his children were William M. Boles, Martha A. Boles and James Boles. The 1830 census of Clinton Co. indicates more children in the family, but I don't know the names. I would like additional information about Robert's children, when and where he died, and where he's buried. Any help in finding this information would be appreciated. Bob Saunders, Salem, Oregon

Calloway, 1995. Hardback, 6-1/4x9-1/4, 327 pages, maps, illustrated, extensive footnotes, and index. This book is in near new condition, if not new condition, and the illustrated dustcover is in very good condition with only a couple tiny wrinkles & a small area of sticker residue. Just a really nice book that shows how the Indians themselves were affected by the war. "This study presents the first broad coverage of Indian experiences in the Revolution, rather than of Indian participation as allies or enemies of contending parties ...it explores how the Revolution often translated into war among Indians and their own struggles for independence." It was largely a disaster for them, whether they fought for the British or the Americans or attempted to remain neutral. The Indian people were doing much the same as the American colonists: fighting for their freedom in tumultuous times...Calloway focuses on eight Indian communities from Quebec to Florida, and from the Atlantic to the Mississippi,,,and drawing on British, American, Canadian and Spanish records, shows how Native Americans pursued different strategies and endured a variety of experiences, but were bequeathed a common legacy as a result of the Revolution."

There are no Bowles in this posting. But because the Rices are connected to several Bowles from the earliest days of this list, and this is such an all-encompassing account of the early Rice family, I'm posting it here. Yours, Linne ===================================================================== Match: Bowls Source: VACULPEP-L@rootsweb.com From: Cpzb4@aol.com Subject: Rice Family of Culpeper from "Green Notes" Southern Biographies and Genealogies, 1500s-1940s Chapter IX Descendants of William Rice. Among the early settlers of what is now Culpeper county, was William Rice, who came some time before the county was organized. In volume 17, of the patent records in Richmond, page 120, is a deed from George II etc., to William Rice, for four hundred acres of land in the forks of the Rapid Ann, in the county of Orange, beginning at four pines on a point on a branch of Dark Run. This deed is dated July 29, 1736, and is signed by William Gooch. Orange county, at that time, included all of what is now Culpeper. From it Culpeper was formed in 1748. William Rice was a son of Thomas Rice, who came to America in the latter part of the 17th century, and who is mentioned in the following manner, in the memoirs of Rev. David Rice, published by Thomas T. Skillman, Lexington, Ky., 1824, pp. 420. "Thomas Rice was an Englishman by birth, of Welsh extraction. He was an early adventurer into Virginia; where he spent the first part of his life is not certainly known. In the latter part of his life he owned a small plantation in the lower part of what is now (1824) called Hanover county. Here he left his wife, with nine sons and three daughters, and went to England to receive a considerable estate which had been left him, but returned no more. The sailors reported that he died at sea. It is supposed that he was assassinated. No return was ever made of the property after which he had gone, and his family were left destitute in a strange land." * * * * * * "The family being left without an earthly father, were distressed, but they were, in the good providence of God, provided for. The greater part moved about thirty miles farther up the country, where they procured a small plantation, on which they raised numerous families; four or five of them became serious professors of religion, and were succeeded in their religious profession by a considerable number of their children."--pp. 13 and 14. His wife, "was esteemed truly a religious woman," pp. 33. Among those descendants, who moved North, was William Rice, of Culpeper. In Patent Book 8 of the same Records, page 261, is recorded a patent from Sir Edmond Andros. Kt., their Majesty's Lieutenant and Governor General etc.," to Thomas Rice for land lying in "Kingston Parish, in Gloucester county, said land being due unto said Thomas Rice by and for the importation of one person into this colony." Dated the 29th day of April, 1693. This Thomas Rice was probably the one who was father of William Rice, of Culpeper. In the same records, vol. 17, pp. 132, is recorded a deed from George II, King, etc., to Thomas Rice, for 1200 acres of land in Hanover county, on both sides of Cub Creek and Dirty Swamp, bounded by the lands of Col. David Meriwether, David and William Meriwether, James Goodall, and Richard Brooks. This is probably the place where this Thomas Rice lived in the latter part of his life. Page 132 The last will and testament of William Rice was probated and recorded in Culpeper county the 17th day of April, 1780. It was dated the 9th day of February, 1780. He divided his property about equally between his children, Richard, John, Benajah, Hannah Rice, Ann Graves, wife of John Graves, and Sarah Graves, wife of Edward Graves. In his will is the following provision, "I lend to my beloved wife, Sarah Rice, one- half of my estate during her natural life." After that it was to be divided equally between his children. He appointed Benajah, John, and Richard Rice, his sons, and John Graves, his son-in law, his executors. Among the property inventoried are slaves, horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, plantation tools, six spinning wheels, two looms, one copper still, a desk, warming pan, books of sundry kinds, valued at £70, money scales, cash in metal £7, 13s. 9d., cash in paper £55, 8s., punch bowls, valued at £16. He gave the copper still to his unmarried daughter. Perhaps he thought she would be less likely to misuse it. The fact that "money scales" were considered a part of the equipment of a plantation would seem to indicate that coin, or metal money, as it is called in this inventory, was valued according to its weight in those days. John Rice, one of the sons of William Rice, removed to the valley of Shenandoah. He obtained there a large tract of land about six miles long. Built a log cabin upon it, and there went back. He married Mary Finney. Upon his marriage his father made the newly married couple a wedding present of a set of silver spoons, marked W. R., the initials of the donor. If they were marked on purpose for the occasion it shows a different custom in marking wedding presents from that which now prevails. These spoons are still in the possession of some of their descendants. After marrying, he returned to Rockingham county, lived and died there, and his will was admitted to probate there A. D. 1804. He willed all of his land and slaves to his wife during her life, to be divided, at her death, amonst his children, except his daughter, who had married James Snaden, and gone to Bourbon county, Ky. He had probably given her her share when she went to Kentucky. John Rice, shortly after his return to Rockingham county, and about the year 1776 to 1779, built his new house, which is still standing, and is in good order and occupied. The roof is a little steeper than 45 degrees. The first roof was on the house seventy-one years. It was made of yellow pine shingles, about three quarters of an inch thick, pinned on with locust pins. There is a cellar under the whole house, part of which was used as a kitchen, and part of it for a store-room, for bacon and whiskey. Almost every large plantation, in those days, had its own distillery and made the whiskey for the use of the plantation, and, according to modern standards, they used too much. The cellar walls and fireplaces were built of brick, which was not usual at that time. The house is a frame one. It is weather-boarded with siding, 6 inches wide, and little more than half an inch thick, of yellow pine. All the lumber in the house was sawed out by hand with whip-saws. Every one of the weather-boards has a bead run on the edge for ornament. The siding is nailed on with wrought iron nails, which still show the mark of the blacksmith's hammer. The doors are six panel doors, and the window blinds are made the same way. All the hinges are wrought iron, made by hand, and also show the marks of the blacksmith's hammer. There is a profusion of moulding all through the house. It was the first frame house lathed, plastered and weather-boarded and painted in all that region. It is in good order now, much better than Thomas Jefferson's, which was built sixteen years later. This house was called "The Painted House," and that part of the country was called "The Painted House Neighborhood," houses painted on the outside being so rare. The neighborhood is sometimes known yet among the old settlers, as "The Painted House Neighborhood," Page 133 though this house lost all its paint long ago, and has not received a new application lately. The Rices of Rockingham county are buried in the Dayton burying ground, commencing at the South side of the graveyard and extending Northward. First is old Mrs. Finney, who came over from Accomac county, or Culpeper, to live with her daughter, Mary, and son-in-law, John Rice. Next to her is John Rice; then Mary, his daughter: then Ursula Gaines Rice; then Mary Finney Rice, the wife of John; then three or four children; then William Rice, John's oldest son, who is the first one who has a lettered tombstone. The rest have just plain stones from the creek. William's gravestone is marked as follows: "William Rice, born July 27th, 1779, and departed this life August 2nd, 1838. Aged 59 years and 6 days." Benajah Rice, brother of John Rice, also obtained land in the same county, and adjoining John. He never lived there himself, but some of his children did, and some of his descendants are living there now. The Mary Finney, whom this John Rice married, belonged to the family of Finneys who have lived, for the last 250 years or more, in Accomac county, on the eastern shore of Virginia. There is a place now, called "Finney," and a place called "Finney's Wharf." Honorable Louis C. H. Finney was a member of the Virginia Senate a few years ago, and was well versed in the history of the Finney family. It is probable that William Rice was an Episcopalian; also his son, John Rice, and probably his daughter-in- law, were. An old negro slave, called "Lark," was born on the property of this John Rice, and was baptized, as all the other slaves born on the plantation were, after the fashion of the patriarch, Abraham, who baptized his whole family, including all his servants. This old negro was made free by Ann Hopkins Rice, a daughter-in-law of John Rice, who inherited him, and he died in Illinois about 1863, living with one of John Rice's grandsons. Except these, nearly all of the Rice family, including even the descendants of these, were, and are, Presbyterians. David Rice, who was sometimes called the "Apostle of Kentucky," and who was instrumental in the founding of Hampden and Sidney College, Virginia, and of the Transylvania University, Kentucky, and the Danville Theological Seminary, Kentucky, was the first moderator of the first Presbytery, and the first moderator of the first Synod of Kentucky, and a member of the first constitutional convention of Kentucky, was a nephew of William Rice, of Culpeper. Benjamin Rice, David's brother, was a lawyer, of Bedford county, Virginia, whose son, John Holt Rice, D. D., was the first pastor of Richmond Memorial church, and first Professor of Christian Theology in Union Theological Seminary, Virginia, and once moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly Another son, Benjamin Holt Rice, was a professor in Princeton, and was once moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly. Nathan Lewis Rice, D. D., also one of the descendants of this Thomas Rice, was once a moderator of the General Assem bly, and was a theological professor. Quite a large per cent of the Rice family have been, and are lawyers, ministers of the Gospel, or doctors of medicine. The Rices, when living in Wales, had a Coat of Arms, of which the widow of Izard Bacon Rice long ago had a copy. The widow of John Holt Rice, D. D., who died in 1831, also had a copy. Mrs. Sara A. Pryor, a prominent member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, wife of General Roger A. Pryor, late Justice of the Supreme Court, New York, now has a copy. Mrs. Pryor is a descendant of Thomas Rice, of Hanover. The Rice motto was "Fides Non Timet." In the old days, when written in Welsh, the name was spelled "Rhys," though even then, when written in English, it was often spelled, as now, "Rice."

===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: GEN-MAT-L@rootsweb.com From: "Helen" <Helenh@pdq.net> Subject: Civil War - See Names Storm Over The Land, A Profie of the Civil War, Carl Sandburg, 1939, 1942-no later date, but I do think it is a later reprint. Blue hardback with silver printing, illustrated dustcover - both in very good condition other than a crease to the inside front dustcover flap, and a small errant penmark on the front freepage which almost looks more like a defect in the paper than a pen mark. 6-3/4 x 9-1/2, 440 pages, lovely pen and ink illustrations similar to those found in a Harpers book, some maps, soldier's ditties, nice sized print, index, really in wonderful condition. Per the jacket: "The United States of America had its national unity hammered out in storm - the four tremendous years of the Civil War. Here is Carl Sandburg's story of those years - campaigns and generals, the common soldier in struggle, laughter and daring - politics behind battle lines, clashes of loyalists and malcontents, dark hours on the home front, unbreakable faiths in high and low places. Storm over the Land is taken mainly from the four volumes of Abraham Lincoln: The War Years. Mr. Sandburg has rewritten some sections to form a single volume, with all the mastery of detail which characterized the great biography from which it is taken, and which forms a complelte story. It is a narrative unmatched in dramaatic suspense, because it is our own drama, the storm over our own land." This is a book for the common man as well as the historian that offers interesting, easily read and understandable coverage of a dark time in America's history.

===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: GEN-MAT-HX-L@rootsweb.com From: "Helen" <Helenh@pdq.net> Subject: Greensboro, Guilford, North Carolina - See Some Names Greendboro, North Carolina - The County Seat of Guilford, Ethel Stpehens Arnett under the direction of Walter Clinton Jackson, 1955, 1975. Tan cloth covered hardback with gilt printing, illustrated dust jacket, 6-1/2 x 9-1/4, 492 pages, illustrated with wonderful old views and portraits, the appendix contains a number of lists with names, identification of people in group photos, bibliography, index. The dust jacket has several small tears along the top and the top right hand edge, but the book is in near pristine condition, with no markings of any kind, loose or dogeared pages. Per the dust jacket: "This is the story of the evolution of a city from 'pine barrens' to an expanding network of urban activity. Located in the heart of Piedmont North Carolina, by 1955 it had become a leading agricultural, business, and educational center in the state and nation. ... For that reason this second printing of Breensboro, North Carolina: The County Seat of Cuilford is published by the City of Greensboro in celebration of the two hundredth birthday of the United States of America. Described at times as 'The Gate City,''The Hartford of the South,' or the birthplace of Dolley Madison and O. Henry, Greensboro has had a worthy and exciting history, not only to its own citizens, but also to any one who would follow the tale of a city through its period of growth to its established place as one of the leading cities of the New South. While this is the history of a city, the author never loses sight of the fact that this city is the county seat of Guilford and an important city of the nation." Contents include: Foreword Acknowledgments Important Events and Movements in Greensboro: 1. Guilford County: A Setting for Greensboro 2. Early Settlements of Guilford County 3. The City of Greensboro: Its Government and Special Agencies 4. The County Seat of Guilford and Leading Public Servants 5. Educational Institutions of Greensboro 6. The Churches of the City 7.

Cultural Interests of the People 12. Social and Civic Organizations 13. Health and Public Welfare Services of the City and County 14. Recreational Facilities of Greensboro 15. Greensboro in Times or War Greensboro - 1955 Appendix Major Bibliographical References Index One of the most interesting and helpful aspects of the book is a chronological listing of Important Events and Movements in Greensboro, and Guilford County, beginning with the 1744 settlement of Germans in the eastern part of Guilford. The section on the wars provides a wonderful insight to the happenings and effects of each war, beginning with the American Revolution, in which several battles occurred in the county. Religious denomination histories and those of the educational institutions are given; also of interest is the section of leading public servants from the earliest days. The Appendix gives population statistics, listings of the postmasters from 1810, mayors, 1837 began the street care by the citizens of the different districts, and the names of these men, who were responsible for keeping the streets in order, are given; the State Senators and Representatives are listed, beginning in 1777; public school highlights are listed; pastors and establishment history of the churches are given, beginning with the oldest - Buffalo Presbyterian Church in 1756; banking and manufacturing history and milestones are given. Also ntoed are the natural occurences of note - falling stars in 1833, the Great Snow in 1857, the Charleston earthquake in 1886, the only tornado in 1836, etc. The first North Carolina Reunion, fairs, centennial of 1908; guardsmen, 1849 advent of the railroad - the history of all of the above is covered. The members of all the city councils and the mayors are listed, the cemeteries and their histories are of great interest. This is a truly nice history of this important piedmont North Carolina city and area, formed by our ancestors and nourished by their effort and blood. A historical region of great importance to any number of different groups of people.

BLACK PASSES AWAY Friday morning another aged Confederate veteran passed over the river to rest with his comrades who followed the Stars and Bars and established a record for bravery and patriotism never equaled in the history of the world. In the passing of Mr. E.T. Black, Heflin and Cleburne county loses not only a citizen whose service on the field of battle was an inspiration to the young in love of country, but a man whose in peace accepted the verdict rendered against him on the field of battle and devoted his life to the building up of his devastated country and to the service of his fellow man. Mr. Black was a member of the M.E. Church, South, and a true follower of the meek and lowly Nazerine. His heart was big enough to sympathize with his fellows when they were in distress and not only his advise and counsel were given, but when necessary his pocket book was at the service of the needy. For years he has lived in Heflin and won the love and confidence of all our citizens and when the news that he had passed away was given out, although not unexpected, a pall of sadness seemed to settle over the town and tears were near the surface on many faces. Mr. Black was in his 85th year and was suffering from a complication of the diseases of old age. The funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon by Rev. John O. Ray and Rev. J.C. Francis of Lincoln, ALa., former pastor of the devoted Mr. Black. Mr. Black is survived by three sons, J.T. Black and A.L. Black of this place, W.O. Black of BIrmingham, and two daughters, Mrs. H.F.

On Friday morning, July 2nd, about daybreak, my sister, Martha, Misses Era, Sara and Mr. Curtis McLendon loaded ourselves in my fliver (?) and started for Lawrence County, Tennessee. We arrived at Mr. Nute Walker's at 7:30 p.m., four miles beyond Lawrenceburg. We passed through some wonderful farming country, saw as fine a prospect for a good corn crop as any one could wish for. Also cotton was looking fine. Lots of grain shocked in the field waiting to be threshed. We crossed the Tennessee river at Decatur, some of the girls being timid wanting to turn back, but the majority ruled and all loaded on the ferry and were carried cross safely. It was after we crossed the river that the crops were so fine and kept getting better as far as we went. Made me think strongly of coming back home, calling my dogs, putting out the fire and moving to that part of the country. Their roads are wonderful and crews at work all the time improving them. The people in and around Lawrenceburg are awful kind and sociable. We attended the Lawrence county singing convention Saturday and Sunday, July 3 and 4, in the Old Sacred Harp. Heard some as fine singing both days as any one could wish for. Tom Denson who lives at Leoma, Tennesse was chairman of the convention and he surely believes in singing. Had a large attendance and good behavior both days, and all good things to eat, well they had them in Tennessee. Well, I will close these remarks by adding if the world is as large very other way as the way we went it surely is a whopper. Sincerely, Mose Nelson _________ BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION ON FOURTH OF JULY Desiring to celebrate the birthday of Ambrose Beam and the 4th in a quiet and informal manner, a few friends and relatives met Sunday at the home of Mrs. L.C. Beam. There was a dinner bountiful with both wholesome and appetizing food served, preceeded by both ice cream and lemonade. Then the party went to the community Sunday School at the Armstrong School House. Then with others added to the crowd they assembled again at Mrs. Beam's residence and engaged in an enjoyable afternoon singing. Thus quietly and profitably was celebrated this good day though it was Sunday. Those present for the dinner were: W.G. Beam and family C.T. Holcombe and family O.A. Mobley and family Miss Nancy Stephens Mrs. Beam regrets that one daughter and other relatives and friends were not present but rejoices in the fact that all present at any time during the day seemed to enjoy themselves together. Thus a community of friends joined in celebrating a boy's birthday, a nations birthday and enjoying recreation on the lord's day. ___ LOCAL News Mrs. L.P Husbands from Moultrie, Georgia is visiting with her sister, Mrs. L.G.

Tom, I don't know if this means anything or not, but I ran into a man, who is identical to one of the Barren Co Bowles. His name is Perkins. He says his family isn't from Ky, but from Texas. We all know that doesn't mean much, because of migrations. He says his ancestors came from Ireland. Their name wasn't Perkins. I can't remember the exact name, but it seems like it was Mcpavios, they changed it to Perkins. If this is correct, the "P" could've been an "F". I ask if he had done a family tree. He said he had, but his ex-wife had it. I'm telling you, the resemblance was uncanny! Ludema Bowles -------- Original Message -------- ==> From: Tom LaPorte <tlaporte@mts.net> ==> Date: Sat, 14 May 2005 22:31:02 -0500 Does anyone know anything about Flavius J. Bowles (b. Washington co., Maryland son of Thomas & Susan Bowles) of Chicago in 1871. Linne posted this marriage in 2001: vol 24 pg 471 (Oxford Co): Flavius J. BOWLES, 30, gentleman, Washington Co. - Maryland, Chicago USA, s/o Thomas & Susan, married Florence ELMORE, 20, New Orleans, same, d/o William A. & Julia, witn: David RUDLE of Chicago & Alfred SHAW of Detroit, 13 Dec 1871 at Woodstock, Ontario I've finally traced back a Major F. J. Bowles, a building contractor, in Central Canada to the above Flavius Bowles. I was wondering about the "Major" part. Civil war, maybe? I did google a little and found a: Bowles, Flavius J.; Private; Aug. 22, 1862 Promoted to hospital steward, U. S. Army, April 2, 1864. ROSTER of the 15th PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY COMPANY A. Perhaps the "Major" was a bit of a local joke or he exaggerated a little. Tom LaPorte

Searching the list archives is how I found the 2001 posting Linne. I did find one other Edward Flavius Bowles in the Henry Bowles lines of Powhatan Co., Va. in a 1998 posting but he was a Still Living. Still perhaps that means "my" Flavius may have been in another branch of the Henry Bowles lines of Powhatan Co., Va. line? Does anyone with VA Bowles roots have a missing Thomas and Susan Bowles who may have had a Flavius in the 1840's in Washington? Tom LaPorte
