I'm looking at an abstract of the 1850 Tn census.  There is a James age 5 which would be close.  Family: James Bowles 36, Sally 33, John 7, James 5, Oliver 1, all b Tn.  This county is abv....Sn...no idea which county that would be.  there are a lot of James in Tn 1850 but most too young.  That's the only one about the right age. Looks like the father was b 1814 in Tn?   Can anyone look that up?  Mary Ann --- On Sun, 12/6/09, margaret mathie <mollymathie@yahoo.com> wrote: From: margaret mathie <mollymathie@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [BOWLES] James K Polk Bowles To: bowles@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, December 6, 2009, 3:02 PM Sandra, Would you happen to have James' birthday and where he is born?  If so, we could look more into who his parents could possible be.  My maiden name is Boles.
