On June 14, I indicated that we had a potential candidate from the Thomas and Sarah Holman Bowles line who might be willing to do the DNA test, and requested some funding help for it. Regrettably, this candidate has apparently decided not to participate even though we had commitments for the funding. My thanks to the good folks who volunteered to help fund it. We are still seeking another candidate from this line. There are three major branches in this line: Nathaniel V. Bowles who married Jane Puryor (Puryear) Thomas T. Bowles who married Mary Brown Joseph Farrar Bowles who married Sarah Farrar Hensley Help us find a candidate. Charlie Hartley Bowles DNA Project Administrator [mailto:hartley@iglou.com]
