Dear David: It has been a while since we communicated via e-mail. You had shared with me much information about our common descendants. My line is my father, Joseph Worth Bowles(8), Gilbert Bowles(7), Joseph Martin Bowles(6), Holman Bowles(5), Jesse Bowles II (4), Jesse Bowles(3), Capt. David Bowles(2) and John Bowles (1). I have some news about Jesse Bowles (3), who died 1837 in Quincy, Ill the brother of your Jesse Bowles. Last June, I was in Quincy, Ill for a wedding and was determined to find more information about the Jesse Bowles Line, specifically the location of the Bowles family cemetery where Jesse, Chloe Parker Bowles and other Bowles members were buried. I was successful. I checked the land records and found the cemetery that was reported in a Quincy County Library book on local cemeteries as "canvassed in the 1960s." The land records showed a Bowles descendant, Arthur Bowles, the descendant of one of Jesse's sons, Augustus ( I can check his first name -- I have the records at home) had sold the plot for $1.00 to a family who had purchased the land surrounding the cemetery and wanted to build a house. Apparently no one had been interred since the late 1800's and it was grown up in weeds and uncared for. Next, I found the deed to the family who purchased it, asked Mrs. Kau! fmann who had the Kaufmann Bed and Breakfast I was staying in if she knew the family and sure enough she did, and told me exactly where the cemetery was located on the north edge of Quincy. Mrs. Kaufmann had lived in the area all her life. Mrs. K. then called and set up an appointment so I could go and visit the owners. The land where Jesse Bowles lived and the cemetery are located is in a very good, prosperous farming area. The family who purchased the land were in the apple orchard business and now the land is inside Quincy on the corner of a main road and a state highway. The family built a brick house on the corner in the late 1960s and the same couple still lives there, although in frail health. The wife walked with me through the black locust grove trees where the cemetery was located and told me where the head stones had stood and she remembered the headstone of a child and where it was buried. She also said they just laid the headstones down where they had stood and c! leared the weeds and the stones have sunk into the ground. I was relieved to know the stones had not been destroyed or were setting in some barn. The grove of black locust trees are still there, very very tall and beautiful and are directly behind their house on the street. I told the owners the history of the black locust trees, when they were planted and that the seedlings had come from Bourbon County, Kentucky in 1831. Ladies working in the Adams County Clerk's office remembered the cemetery, too. I was very grateful to Mrs. Kaufmann for setting up the appointment with her friend as I know the elderly lady would have been reluctant to talk to a stranger about her land. If you or anyone else has an interest, I can provide the name, street address and cross road location for the black locust grove and where the cemetery really still is. My next search effort is to find where Capt. David Bowles and Jesse Bowles are buried in Bourbon County, Kentucky. I know Capt. David Bowles's name is inscribed on the Bourbon County Courthouse placque listing Bourbon County residents who served in the Revolutionary War. You had suggested to me several years ago I should start in the Jacktown Road area. I would also like to find the house Socrates Bowles lived in. I believe it is on the Bourbon County webside for historical houses. If you have any information I would appreciate it. I suspect there was a country cemetery where David, Jesse and others were buried, or even on a corner of their land. I've checked the cemeteries in Bourbon County via the internet and didn't discover anything.on Jesse Bowles or Hannah, his wife, or David Bowles. If I'm going to be an old lady and wear purple, I figured I also needed to be a member of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and joined on Capt. David Bowles's record. Hannah Bowles Butler had joined on Capt. David Bowles's service in Bourbon County, Kentucky in about 1904. Good to hear from you about Robert Letcher Bowles. Sorry I can't help you on Eleanor.

We now have 20 participants in the Bowles DNA Project! Also, I have rearranged the results on the page at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gensoup/bowlesdna.html to reflect the fact the two participants that we thought were a pair turned out to not match well on the 13-25 markers. For that reason, I have moved them back into the pool of available results and moved the pair that were listed as group 3 up into the group 2 position. Finally, if you want to send a private message to me (one that you do not want to go to the list at large) be sure to click on the mailto link under my name below rather than just replying to a message like this one. The Bowles list is set up so that if you reply to a message from the list, the reply goes back to the list. Thanks!

What really hurts is; my great grandfather, really was John Smith!!!! Sincerely, Ludema Bowles -------- Original Message -------- ==> From: Spirithealer999@aol.com ==> Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2005 20:17:36 EDT Murphy's Laws of Genealogy 1. The public ceremony in which your distinguished ancestor participated and at which the platform collapsed under him turned out to be his hanging. 2. When at last after much hard work you have evolved the mystery that you have been working on for two years, your aunt says, "I could have told you that." 3. You search ten years for your grandmother's maiden name to eventually find it on a letter in a box in the attic. 4. You never asked your father about his family when he was alive because you weren't interested in genealogy then. 5. The will you need is in the safe on board the Titanic. 6. Copies of old newspapers have holes occurring only on the surnames. 7. John, son of Thomas the immigrant whom your relatives claim as the family progenitor, died on board ship at the age of 10. 8. Your great grandfather's newspaper obituary states that he died leaving no issue of record. 9. Another genealogist has just insulted the keeper of the vital records you need. 10. The relative who had all the family photographs gave them all to her daughter who has no interest in genealogy and no inclination to share. 11. The only record you find for your great grandfather is that his property was sold at a sheriff's sale of insolvency. 12. The one document that would supply the missing link in your dead end line has been lost due to fire, flood, or war. 13. The town clerk to whom you wrote for the information sends you a long handwritten letter which is totally illegible. 14. The spelling of your European ancestor's name bears no relationship to its current spelling or pronunciation. 15. None of the pictures in your recently deceased grandmother's photo album have names written on them. 16. No one in your family tree ever did anything noteworthy, owned property, was sued or was named in a will. 17. You learn that your great aunt's executor just sold her life's collection of family genealogical materials to a flea market dealer "Somewhere in New York City." 18. Ink fades and paper deteriorates at a rate inversely proportional to the value of the data recorded. 19. The 37 volume, 16,000 page history of your county of origin isn't indexed. 20. You finally find your great grandparents' wedding record and discover that the bride's father was named John Smith.

That was very funny! I'm not a genealogist by no means, but all those regarding the family fit mine to a "T"....They owned nothing, they were immigrants, their names changed spellings from sibling to sibling, they didn't stay put, they aren't on any census or record known to man and most who I'm looking for were in the 1890 census that burned. And of course, nobody thought to ask questions before they all died off and then my Uncle through marriage threw away an entire three generations of photographs passed down for safe keeping when my Aunt passed away. Thanks for sharing that, it was hilarious!

Murphy's Laws of Genealogy 1. The public ceremony in which your distinguished ancestor participated and at which the platform collapsed under him turned out to be his hanging. 2. When at last after much hard work you have evolved the mystery that you have been working on for two years, your aunt says, "I could have told you that." 3. You search ten years for your grandmother's maiden name to eventually find it on a letter in a box in the attic. 4. You never asked your father about his family when he was alive because you weren't interested in genealogy then. 5. The will you need is in the safe on board the Titanic. 6. Copies of old newspapers have holes occurring only on the surnames. 7. John, son of Thomas the immigrant whom your relatives claim as the family progenitor, died on board ship at the age of 10. 8.

Thank you. I loved it, and isn't it so TRUE? Donna Spirithealer999@aol.com wrote: Murphy's Laws of Genealogy 1. The public ceremony in which your distinguished ancestor participated and at which the platform collapsed under him turned out to be his hanging. 2.

Charlie, I recently posted at message to the Booles surname board at Genforum, encouraging descendants from the Georgia Bowles lines (many of which got permanently changed to Booles) to consider the DNA project. I am pretty sure that Wm. Bowles/Booles who married Sally Biven and settled in Georgia is part of my line. This William and my ancestor Benjamin Bowles enlisted together in the Revolutionary War, served together and were discharged together. Plus, I have found evidence that Wm. Bowles/Booles was in Franklin Co. NC along with my Benjamin in the period around the Rev. War. So, I believe these two guys were either brothers or cousins. I would really like for someone from the Wm. Bowles/Booles line to get into the DNA project. I will let you know if anyone contacts me. Brenda
