New DNA test results are in for kit #6532 and we have some interesting near-matches. Kit #6532 matches 24/25 with Kit #29356; matches 24/25 with kit #29524; and matches 23/25 with kit #29596. Kit #6532 traces back to Nuldus Lafayette Bowles, b. 04 May 1844 in GA; d. 27 Aug 1900 in Kaufman County TX as his earliest known Bowles ancestor. There is good evidence that Nuldus was a son of Anderson Bowles, born about 1805 in Georgia. Kit #29356 traces back to William and Mary (Austin) Bowles who raised a family in Wythe Count VA, but may have come from North Carolina. Kit #29524 traces back to John Bowles, b. 1777 in VA; d. 1859; lived in Louisa County VA until 1856; will probated in Albermarle County VA, who was married to Margaret "Peggy" Anderson. Kit #29596 claims to trace back to Thomas and Sarah (Holman) of Hanover County VA. The difficulty here is that another participant (kit #35029) also claims descent from the same couple, but has significantly different DNA results. My educated guess is that 6532, 29356, 29524, and 29596 share a common Bowles ancestor, probably in the late 1600's or early 1700's. They should work together to bring these lines together.

There is some indication that Nuldus' father, Anderson Bowles was actually born in VA and was a son of Nathan Bowles, Revolutionary War patriot. This needs to verified. >Kit #6532 traces back to Nuldus Lafayette Bowles, b. 04 May 1844 in >GA; d. 27 Aug 1900 in Kaufman County TX as his earliest known Bowles >ancestor.

Charlie, "IF" my dad was Joe Francis Bowles and he was and his Dad was Peter Morris Bowles and he was and his Dad wasThomas T. Bowles and the History of Bowles says he was and his Dad was Thomas Bowles 1761 and the history says he was I think that my line is there and a match I have with a line 29524 is John Bowles 1777 shows we are close with names of his family and mine. Dna 6532 Im still looking at but I only know that we I had a Aunt named Ida who married in Ky and went to Texas. Dna 29356 Im having trouble with no connection that I have found. Dna 35029 He is in my line meaning he knew John Brown was his line and John Brown is in my line but we don't match. He was trying to get his brother to take the Dna but I don"t know the outcome. "SO" When you say that I claim Thomas and Sarah as my line, as for as I am concerned it is.
