This could get interesting. :) My line is the JEremiah Bowles line that was tested, and he married Mary Ann Walden in Franklin County in 1838. They are in Putnam County, VA/WV by the 1850 census.I don't know what happened to Mary Ann, but Jeremiah marries again in 1852, in 1877, and in 1866. His civil war roster shows that he returned to Franklin County, VA to sign his oath of allegiance after the civil was and marries in 1886 to Elmira Akers, whose family is also from Franklin County. but he ends up back in Putnam Co to marry again in 1877. Interesting to me is the fact that he signed his name very well when he collected his pay, but when he signed his oath, he used an 'X'. I wonder if that was his way of denying that oath? He had to sign something, but didn't really mean it? :) So, we match on the 12 markers, but it's not really conclusive until we get the other markers in? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Hartley" <hartley@iglou.com> To: <BOWLES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 3:45 PM Subject: Bowles DNA Project Update - 20 Apr 05 > Two new sets of results are just in: kit #30760 and kit #31654.

Two new sets of results are just in: kit #30760 and kit #31654. These are 12 marker results, with the 13-25 marker results yet to come. On 12 markers, kit #30760 is a 12/12 match with kit #29409. #30760 traces back to Jeremiah Bowles who was born in Franklin Co VA in 1816; #29409 goes back to Joseph Bowles who was born in 1818 in VA, and was located in Henry Co VA by 1850. Since Franklin and Henry Counties are neighboring counties in Virginia, this 12 marker match is promising, but we need to wait for the rest of the results to know for sure. Kit #31654 traces back to Alexander H. Bowles who was born about 1791 in VA, and was in Franklin County VA by 1820 according to census records. However, the 12 marker results for this kit do not match the ones described above, so we are looking at a different line in that area.

Dear Charlie, Not only was it NOT long winded and boring, it was the first time that it was explained so that I could understand it. Thank you SO much for taking the time to break it down for me. Susan Walters

Charlie, let me see if I have this correct? At this time we have 5 groups of Bowles that were in Barren Co 1800-1830. There has been a DNA test for 3 of the 5 groups. So far there is one group that is very promising to go back to John Bowles and his grandchildren 1719 in New Kent Co, VA. None of the 3 groups match each other.Would I be correct in believing only one group, so far, would connect to John Bowles and his grandchildren and the other 2 groups would be wasting their time trying to find documents to connect to John Bowles and his grandchildren? Leathel,

Tom asked... >The privacy issue is the biggest hurdle in my family as well. > >Could a sample be submitted without identifying the donor in any way >for a couple of generations back and just give the family tree from >oldest known to, say, three or four generations ago? There are several ways that privacy can be protected beyond the protection already afforded us by the folks at Family Tree DNA. (See http://www.ftdna.com/privacy.html for more information.) There are three issues to consider: the identity of the participant, the identity of the person who pays for the kit, and the identity of the person to whom the kit is mailed. Let's say that John Doe Bowles is willing to test, but he does not want anyone connected with Family Tree DNA to know who he is. Nor does he want the information obtained from his DNA sample to be associated with him in any database. What John needs is someone who is willing to be the go-between for him. It can be anyone he chooses. For the sake of our example, let's say that John chooses you. Depending on the level of John's concern for privacy, he may ask you order the kit for him, have it sent to your address, and pay for it with your own check or credit card for which he will reimburse you (or not, depending on your arrangement with him). That just leaves the issue of his name. That can easily be handled by using the name of an ancestor such as his great-great uncle Billy Bob Bowles. As far as the information provided to the surname group, we take pains to share only that which the participant wishes us to. I discourage individuals from listing any information that can tie them directly to the tree, such as the names of parents, or other living relatives. I also make every effort to not directly identify the participants by name in messages to the list. Security is an issue, and we should not make light of it. However, with the safeguards that are in place, no one should feel that his privacy is threatened by participating in the Bowles DNA project. Hope this helps.

Charlie, As a descendant of one of the three lines that have 12-marker matches, I found this very helpful. You answered a lot of questions that have been floating around in my mind recently about these three lines. While I'm writing, let me ask a couple of other questions. First, you mentioned a while back that there is a match (or multiple matches?) with a test that was provided by a Bowles for, I believe, an American Indian project. Were you ever able to find that guy and ask if you could publish information on the match? Secondly, is there any value to having multiple tests from a single line? If we could get more people from the three lines that match on 12 markers, would that tell us anything more? Finally, is there a really good answer for someone who is concerned about "privacy issues" with regard to submitting a DNA sample. Not too long ago, I tried to get a cousin with one of my other ancestral surnames (not Bowles) to participate and he declined due to privacy issues. Should this be a legitimate concern or is this just paranoia? Thanks for being our DNA instructor. Brenda

A significant question has been raised that may be puzzling others as well. >I am having trouble understanding matching on 12 markers and matching on >surname, but not related. I realize that current generations should >be the same, >but does the results rule out being distantly related? The answer is a bit complicated, so bear with me as I try to explain this. First let's look at the first 12 markers for these three kits (29401, 29557, 33183). These are marker values that are for the most part very common across many surnames. A recent study of DNA values indicates the percentage of people who also have that value. I've made a chart below to show these figures. 1 - 13 - 80% 2 - 24 - 41% 3 - 14 - 69% 4 - 11 - 51% 5 - 11 - 61% 6 - 14 - 56% 7 - 12 - 60% 8 - 12 - 71% 9 - 12 - 50% 10 - 13 - 60% 11 - 13 - 56% 12 - 29 - 48% The significant thing here is that in each case, the value is the one MOST often found for that marker. Doing a search on Y-Search for these markers, I found well over 300 different surnames that share these same 12 markers. Clearly all of these folks are not related. But what about all of those who share the same surname and these markers? Having the same surname certainly gives more weight to a possible genealogical match, but it does not guarantee it. Family Tree DNA calculates that two participants who share the same surname and the same 12 markers have a 33.57% chance of sharing a common ancestor within the last 100 years. The percentages rise the farther back you go: 200 years - 55.88% 300 years - 70.69% 400 years - 80.53% 500 years - 87.07% 600 years - 91.41% Now let's look at the known ancestors for these three participants. In each case the earliest known ancestor was living in the mid-1700's, less than 300 years ago; so the likelihood of a common ancestor one generation back based just on these 12 markers would be less than 70%. But when we look at their 13-25 markers there are too many mismatches. Are these three participants related? More than likely they are, but probably dating back to at least the 1400's or earlier. My uneducated guess would be that their common ancestor might date back to a time before surnames were commonly taken. However, it is possible that certain markers have mutated over the generations, and that these three participants must go much much farther back to find common ancestors. That is why I recommend the 25 marker test. It does two things. For those who share all 25 markers (or in some cases 24/25 or even 23/25) it gives them a more accurate timeline for when that common ancestor might have lived. For example, there is a 94.15% probability that two Bowles participants who match 25/25 share a common ancestors in the last 300 years. The reverse is also true. Someone might match on the first 12 markers, but have many mismatches on the markers from 13-25. This is a clear indication that one of two things are true: either there have been several mutations in the markers (possible, but not probable) or the likelihood of a common ancestor is much further back in time than originally thought with the 12 marker match. Another factor to take into consideration is location. If two Bowles participants match on say 23/25 and both have known ancestors who lived in Maryland for example, then the likelihood of a common ancestor tends to increase. DNA is not the ultimate answer to our search for ancestors. It is a tool that will tell us the likelihood (or unlikelihood) of an ancestor. We still have to do the research to support our conclusions. I'll use my own Bowles ancestor as an example. For years it had been believed that my John Bowles who was in Barren County KY in the early 1800's was somehow related to Elijah Bowles who was also there. Try as we might, however, we could not find any document that would prove this relationship. Then descendents from both John and Elijah Bowles did the DNA test, and we learned that the likelihood of a close match between John and Elijah was almost nil. Their numbers just don't match at all. Am I disappointed? Well, yes at first I was; but now I know that there is no longer any point in searching for that elusive document that connects them, and I can get about the business of looking for a match somewhere else. I hope this has not been too long-winded or boring. It is a difficult concept to explain. If you have other questions, please ask.

I have a small problem with two people in my line and am praying I can get some kind of assistance. On 25 June 1793 Martha "Patsey" Bowler, Bouler, Bowles married John Montgomery Housewright in Augusta, Virginia. Martha was born about 1769 in Augusta, Virginia to James and Mary Bouler, Bowler, Bowels. I am trying to find out Marthas mothers Maiden name and where she was born. From what I have been able to learn she and James were born somewhere in England around 1728-1760. John Montgomery Housewright was born about 1760 in Amherst, Virginia and he and Martha died in Hawkins, Grainger County, Tennessee. Martha died after 1813 and John died between 1836-1840. Any information on either family greatly appreciated. Their parents or them Lisa Kauffman krazylisa2@earthlink.net

Kit #33183 received the results for markers 13-25 today. Although Kit #33183 matches kits 29401 and 29557 on the first 12 markers, those three don't match on markers 13-25 so we are looking at three different Bowles lines. If you are a male Bowles or are related to one who is eligible for our DNA project, get in touch with me privately and lets talk about getting your line tested.

Hemy, of Phoenix, AZ, is here enjoying the beauties of Kentucky and visiting her husbandÃìs parents at the same time. Rev. Jesse Criswell, of Florida, is here spending his vacation with his parents. Jesse is one of the Kelat boys that everybody is proud of ’ÄîheÃìs one of the able preacher of the country and his father and mother are justly proud of him. The pen is seldom called into use to chronicle a death more shocking and appalling in it character than that which occurred Wednesday May 25th, 1921, about the middle of the afternoon, near our little village. Never did news travel so fast over the community and county as did the brief and melancholy tiding that told in a flash the awfulness and sad ending of Goebel Hedges, coming to his death by the accidental discard of a shotgun while ’Äúcrow hunting.’Äù The message spread like wildfire over the entire neighborhood as it by magic, neighbors, and friends coming in from all points shocked, pained and grieved as only a people can be grieved when the sudden taking away from their midst of a noble useful boy, such as was Goebel Hedges. Yes, death has been among us, and the places that knew Goebel shall know him no more. His death was so sudden, terrible and unexpected as to be a tragedy, and the grief of father and mother, two sisters and brother, so tumultuous as to be almost heart bursting. That form which we beheld by a few days since now lies in the silent tomb. His spirit mingles with the noble army of the just’Äîin his death. In all the large sanctuary of sorrow there is no chamber more sweetly shadowed than that in which this dear boy reposes, embalmed in the double odors of parental affection and public love. Goebel throughout his young life was frank, open and amiable and good for goodÃìs sake. As a man he had, of course, his faults, all springing from one root and terminating in none apex, ultimately softening into a repentant sorrow that was crowned with a pardon by those who knew him. When considering him along with others of his age, we feel that the analogy of the sun setting would be apropos: for instance, we have seen this orb trembling at the gates of the west, reluctantly disappearing behind the horizon, but we knew it was to again appear and take its app9ointe place in the firmament. So it is with Goebel. He is gone to rise again at the call of Him who breathed life into his body. William Goebel Hedges was born Nov. 22nd, 1891, and died May 25th, 1921. The remains were buried in the little cemetery at Beaver Baptist, this county, Friday May 27th, 1921 at 2:30 p.m. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Allen Gibson, assisted by Rev. W. B. Garriott. The church was filled to overflowing. Goebel had hosts of friends, as did his parents. To show reverence and deep friendship, the entire audience arose to its feet as the remains of the dear boy was brought into the church. Although dead, Goebel yet speaketh ’Äî his memory will remain green and sacred. His loss to us is his great and everlasting gain. And now that we have lost him let us be so much more helpful one to another, especially in the things that pertain to the Kingdom of Heaven. May the sun that ushers in the morn rest with its soft and mellow light upon the consecrated spot beneath whose turf forever lies all that was mortal of one of nature's noblemen, Goebel Hedges.

We have had two sets of results to come in this week. Kit #30986 received the results on markers 13-25, and Kit #33183 received the results for markers 1-12. It is worth noting that Kit #33183 matches kits 29401 and 29557 on the first 12 markers. However, since those two don't match on markers 13-25, we will wait for those markers on 33183 to see if he matches either of the other two. On another note, I have been looking for a living male Bowles descendent for the line of William and Valencia (Branch) Bowles who married 24 May 1802. Henrico County VA. If anyone is aware of such a person, please let me know.
