If you go to http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfannin/s.html you will find a photograph of the cover of an old book entitled, "Biographical Souvenir of the State of Texas, Illustrated" "containing biographical sketches of the representative public and many early settled families" Pub. 1889, Chicago, F.A. Battey and Company. Christine Haw has typed up the complete index of the sketches in the book. But for Bowles (no Boles), I found these in the index: Bowles, Alice 103 Bowles, Ann Elizabeth 103 Bowles, Bell V. 103 Bowles, Frank P. 103 Bowles, Frank T. 114 Bowles, J. C. 654 Bowles, J. R. 654 Bowles, Mary Ida 103 Bowles, Roberts 103 Bowles, Virginia A. Mrs. 654 Bowles, William A. 103 I don't recognize any of these names, but you may. Very best, Linne
