For John Bowles b.1726, I don't have a lot other than date of birth that could make him the father of Elijah Bowles b.1751. I have some information that might be on him in different states. There was a Charles Bowles in Woodford Co, Ky in 1810 census that probable is his son and could be this Charles Vowles: MILITARY WARRANTS TO KY CHARLES VOWLES 26661/3 161 3YRS LIEUTENANT STATE LINE 3-7-1783 Benjamin Bowles that married Mary Webber 1744 in Goochland Co. I believe is the father of Benjamin Bowles who died in NC 1780 leaving land in KY to brothers John, Thomas. Thomas being Thomas Phillip Bowles who married Sarah Bacon. Thomas Phillip lived and died in Hanover Co. There is some information on this family that is not correct that makes Benjamin and Mary possible parents of Elijah b.1751.I'll do the incorrect information next.
