Hi list, I wanted to let everyone know that my uncle has submitted a DNA test for the Bowles project. I will copy below a chart that traces my uncle back to our earliest known Bowles ancestor -- Benjamin Bowles d. abt 1844 in Montgomery Co. NC. It would be great if we could get more NC Bowles lines into the database so we could check the probabilities of any of these lines being connected. Some other major NC lines include: 1. The Wm. Bowles line in Stokes Co., NC 2. The John Bowles line in Surry Co., NC 3. The Sarah Bowles line in Caswell Co., NC 4. The John Bartley Bowles line in Iredell Co., NC 5. The Robert Bowles line in Moore Co., NC 6. The Thomas Bowles line in Orange Co., NC 7. The John Bowles line in Orange Co., NC If you know of a male Bowles descendant of any of these lines, please let that person know about the DNA project. Also, I would really like to find a descendant of the William Bowles/Booles (m. Sally Bivens) line of Wilkes Co. GA to participate in the DNA project. I am pretty certain that this William Bowles was brother of my ancestor Benjamin.

Hello, I'm a male. My ggg grandmother was Sarah Bowles, b: Abt 1775, m: John Hicks, b: Abt 1754. My Hicks line went thru Va., Ohio, Ks., and then Ok. Would this test give me any idea of who my Sarah Bowles parent's were? If so, I would be willing to provide a sample. How much would it cost and where do I get the Kit?

===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: GEN-MAT-L@rootsweb.com From: jeff.a.campbell@comcast.net Subject: Montgomery and Fincastle Counties, Virginia A Brief of Wills and Marriages in Montgomery and Fincastle Counties, Virginia, 1733-1831, Anne Lowry Worrell, 1932, 1996. Soft cover, 5-3/8x8-1/2, 56 pages, this is a new book in new book condition. It contains some marriages that were omitted in the first printing. This is a wonderful book of marriages, wills and other records of these counties. The print is small, however, (otherwise would have had many more pages) and there is no index. These are really nice abstracts, with the marriages coming from minister's returns, bonds and miscellaneous sources. About 6,000 newlyweds are included, along with the date of marriage, names of parents and/or sureties. The will abstracts give the name of the testator, date of the instrument or probate date, and the names of the heirs. I see one will that states that the testator was left the land by his father, of Smith County, Tennessee, and the land is to go to his brothers. Sale dates are sometimes given, along with other little tidbits of information. For a small, inexpensive book, it is just crammed with records. Surnames include: Abbott, Abney, Adams, Addair, Adkins, Agnue, Akers, Albert, Alderman, Aldrich, Alford, Allbright, Allen, Alley, Alsberry, Altizer, Anderson, Argubright, Ashley, Asque, Atkins, Aul, Blackenstoe, Bagby, Bailey, Baisden, Baker, Ballard, Ballenger, Bane, Bangor, Banks, Barger, Bargar, Barger, Barlaw, Barnard, Barnett, Barnitz, Barringer, Bates, Batteril, Baugh, Mausman (Bausman???), Bayer, Beale, Bean, Betrd, Beath, Beavers, Beck, Beckets, beckett, Becknel, Becklehimer, Beeson, Bell, Benjamin, Bennett, Berry, Bettshire, Biggs, Bingaman, Bish, Bishop, Black, Blackster, Blackston, Blair, Blake, Bond, Blankenship, Bones, Booth, Borden, Borders, Boster, Boucher, Bowen, Bowers, Bowles, Bowman, Bowyer, Boyd, Brabson, Brabston, Bradford, Brammer, Branham, Bramfield, Bratton, Brawley, Brazel, Briden, Britt, Britton, Broie, Brole, Brookman, Brown, Bruce, Bruister, Brummett, Bryan, Bryant, Buck, Buford, Bull, Bullard, Bumgardner, Burgess, Burk, Burnett, Burrus, Burton, Bushong, Buson, Bustard, Byers, Byrne, Caddall, Camm, Caldwell, Cale, Calfee, Calvel, Calvert, Campbell, Canean, Cannaday, Cannard, Canterberry, Carder, Cardin, Carl, Carlton, Carmikle, Carnell, Carper, Carr, Carrell, Carson, Carter, Cassaday, Cassell, Castle, Cawthan, Cecil, Certain, Chaffin, Chambers, Champ, Chapman, Charlton, Chase, Childress, Christian, Clap, Clark, Clarke, Clay, Claybern, Clear, Clements, Clevenger, Clevenson, Clifton, Clore, Cline, Clowers, Cloyd, Coats, Coffee, Coffman, Cofer, Cole, Collins, Colhip, Combs, Comparet, Compton, Connard, Connelly, Connely, Conner, Cook, Cooper, Copeley, Cornett, Corp, Corty, Costello, Couch, Covey, Cowan, Cox, Craig, Crandall, Crawford, Crayfude, Crews, Chrisman, Cristal, Crockett, Cromer, Cronk, Crouch, Crow, Crowy, Crosten, Croy, Crum, Crump, Cubbage, Cummings, Cunningham, Curnute, Currin, Curry, Dabney, Damewood, Darter, Daugherty, Davidson, Davis, Day, Dawes, Dean, Deed, Devers, Dewese, Dewease, Dewese, Deyerle, Diamond, Dickerson, Dills, Dinkle, Diskins, Ditty, Doak, Doan, Dobbins, Dodd, Dolton, Donnaly, Dougherty, Douglass, Douthat, Doyle, Drake, Draper, Drury, Duckwiler, Dugan, Dulaney, Duncan, Dunlop, Dunn, Durman, Ealis, Earheart, Earl, Early, East, Eastes, Eaton, Ebling, Eclus, Edie, Edings, Edmundson, Edwards, Elam, Elem, Elkins, Elley, Ellis, Elliot, Elswick, Emmons, England, English, Epling, Epperley, Ervin, Evans, Ewing, Failey, Fannin, Farley, Farmer, Feeley, Fergus, Ferguson, Ferrill, Fieldon, Finch, Fisher, Fitzer, Flanagan, Fleger, Fletcher,Flick, Fogle, Fogelman, Forler, Forman, Foster, Fowler, Francis, Franklin, French, Friel, Fry, Fugate, Fuller, Fungate, Furrow, Gannaway, Gardner, Garlick, Garmand, Garman, Garnes, Garvin, Gauf, Gentry, George, Gibson, Gilham, Gallaspey, Gillaspy, Gilmore, Glimp, Godbey, Godding, Good, Goodrick, Godson, Goodson, Goodwin, Goodykoontz, Gordon, Gore, Graham, Graley, Gray, Graybill, Grayson, Green, Greenway, Griffith, Grills, Grimes, Grisom, Gros, Guerrant, Guinn, Guillion, Gunter, Guthrie, Haffee, Hairs, Hale, Halfpenny, Hall, Hambleman, Hamilton, Hammon, (Harman?), Hance, Hancock, Hanes, Haney, Hank, Harbertson, Harbour, Hardy, Hardman, Hardwick, Harless, Harmon, Harold, Harris, Harrison, Hart, Harter, Hartman, Hartsook, Hatch, Hatfield, Hatten, Hawkins, Hawley, Haymaker, Hawley, Hayes, Heaven, Heavin, Hedge, Hellenberg, Helm, Helton, Helman, Helvey, Henderliter, Henderson, Hendricks, Henry, Hiffer, Hill, Hildruth Hilton, Hiltno, Hinton, Hix, Hoback, Hofe, Hogan, Hoge, Hollans, Hollidays, Holliday, Holly, Holley, Holmes, Holston, Holt, Hornbarger, Horntz, Hosier, Hounshell, Hover, Howard, Howe, How, Howell, Howerton, Howery, Hudson, Huel, Hueston, Huff, Huffman, Hughes, Humphreys, Hunsgate, Hunter, Hurford, Hurst, Hurt, Hutcheson, Hyde, Hylton, Hymes, Iddings, Idle, Ingram, Irick, Irving, James, Jameson, Jenkins, Jett, Jewell, John (I think this is probably a given name as the entry reads "John Griffith"), Johnson, Johnston, Jones, Jordan, Journell, Kean, Keen, Kronk, Kegley, Keister, Keith, Keitley, Kelsey, Kemplin, Kent, Kerr, Kesler, Keyton, Kiffer, Kimball, Kinder, King, Kinser, Kintzley, Kirby, Kirk, Kitts, Kittering, Kitterman, Kronk, Kyle, Lacy, Lamb, Laffell, Lake, Lambert, Lampee, Lancaster, Landon, Lane, Lang, Langdon, Latimore, Latimer, Lawrence, Lawson, Lay, Lee, Lefaun, Leitz, Lemmons,Lemon, Leonard, Lesley, Lesneur, Lester, Levers, Lewis, Light, Lilly, Lindsey, Lindsey, Link, Linkous, Litten, Litteral, Litterall, Loan, Lockhard, Logan, Long, Loomis, Louthain, Love, Lovern, Lower, Loyd, Lucas, Lugar, Lukens, Lybrook, Lykins, Lynsey, Mabary, Maddox, Madison, Mallet, Mann, Mairs, Mares, Marcom, Markey, Marricle, Marricule, Marshall, Martin, Masey, Masoner, Matthews, Mavis, Maxwell, Mayer, Mays, McAleand, McAlexander, McBath, McBeath, McCall, McCauley.

Georgia marriage records reveal that John and Susannah were married in Greene Co., GA on 11-10-1811. Despite numerous years of research, the identity of their parents remain unproven. It is believed that Susannah is the first cousin to Robert Boring, the father of 2 of her sons-in-law. John and Susannah have not been found on an 1820 census but may have already arrived in Alabama and some of Alabama's 1820 records are missing. They were in St. Clair County, AL in 1830 and by 1840 they were in Taliadega Co., AL. John, and Marshall (Martial) Malone appear on the 1845 Land & Personal Tax rolls of Chickasaw Co., MS In 1848, John, Wm. H. and Marshall N. appear on his personal tax asseessment role and John Jr, John Sr. and Marshall N. are there in 1849 and 1852. John and Susannah had 6 sons and 3 daughters: (1) William H. Malone was born about 1812 in Georgia, married Permelia McCartney on 01/24/1835 inTaliadega, AL. Their children: a. Pascal H. Malone 03/29/1836 in AL. married Sarah E.

Can anyone tell us about this Samuel Harper Boles? In my notes, Tony Wooten of our list (awooten@terracom.net) wrote on 14 March 1997 that Samuel Harper ("Judge") Boles married Mary Rebecca Parham. Tony, have you found anything to indicate that this particular S. H. Boles had more than one marriage? Or is this a case where our Boles ancestor cousins named their sons Samuel Harper for generations and we have more than one Samuel Harper? My second question has to do with the Harper name. Does anyone know about where his Harper middle name comes from? I have an Elizabeth Harper (nothing known) who married James Shackelford Gillett, who was born in 1810 in KY. The Shackelfords and Gilletts were in Barren Co. at the same time that my Bowles line was there. They also migrated to TX and married into my Bowles tree. So I'm wondering if Elizabeth Harper was of this same group, or if she met and married James Shackelford in TX. Any clues?

Boles, known to his intimates as "Judge" Boles, died at the Maplewood Infirmary here last Saturday morning at 1:30 o'clock; death followed a serious surgical operation for an aggravated stomach trouble, and little hope was entertained for him at the outset. "Mr. Boles was in his forty-third year and a son of the late Mr. Chas. Boles, and a grandson of the late S. H. Boles, on the county's best known men of his day and generation. "Surviving are his mother, Mrs. Eliza Boles, and two brothers, Messrs. Chas. Boles, of Washington, D. C. and Fielding Boles of this place, and his wife (before her marriage Miss Nora Kerley) and seven children -- five boys and two girls, all of whom were at the bedside when death came. "Funeral services were held at the home of Mr. Fielding Boles, here, Sunday afternoon, and was preached by Rev Duncan, after which interment was in the Glasgow cemetery. "Mr. Boles was one of the best-liked and best-known men in Barren County, and the great crowd attending his funeral, from all parts of the country, attested to the esteem in which he was held. "He was a loving and considerate husband; a true friend; a good christian character - a member of the Baptist church and a man whose character was above reproach. "Mr. Boles had many admirers because of his sturdy and clean nature; and all of them are sorry, to-day, because of the passing of a friend." Unknown Glasgow KY newspaper

Inthe search category type in Harley E. Bowles , United States Ohio. My site will show up on theAncestry Tree and the One World Tree on Ancestry.com. Also K.W. Bailey who is my second cousin has Harley listed as well. I have more on the Bowles side and he has more on the Bailey side. Further back in my tree is an Ann Edwards from England but you can search the names by going through my index alphabetically. I havent updated this site in a while so there are only about 500 names on this site. However I have about 1200 names input on the One Great Family site.
