This Henry Bowles (Vowles) is a brother to Thomas Bowles of Chesterfield Co, VA. Henry had 10 whites living with him in 1783. Between Henry,Thomas and Zachariel there were over 20 Bowles that went someplace after 1783, VA,KY,NC, ECT. You will notice I left Charles, Walter, and Zachariel on the list below. Boyles Co, Ky was named after one of these Bowles. Elijah b. 1751 could be his son, I don't think so? His brother, maybe? Last week it was Henry Towles, this week Henry Vowles and Henry Boyles.
