The facts that Elizabeth Young in her will 1695 claims Bowles Tyler as her grandson. This means that Elizabeth Young was a mother to Rebecca Bowles or James Tyler? William Bowles, son of Edward, in his will 1662 lists Uncle John Bowles and kinsman James Tyre. It took me awhile to figure out which John Bowles he was calling uncle, (John died 1664 or John died 1675). When I found that it was 1673 when John Bowles was granted (Bowles Purchase), I knew which one was uncle.Now Uncle John gave to his nephew (James Tyler,Tyre)(Bowles Purchase). If that was true then John, Edward, and Rebecca Bowles were brothers and sister, and their mother Elizabeth died after 1695. The word nephew meant different things back then and since James Tyre was married to Johns niece, (Simon and Elizabeth Bowles daughter)he called (James Tyre d.1686 who married Rebecca) nephew.
