Linne, This Wilkinson side of the family is my Dad's side of the family tree, on my maternal grandfather's side (which is from Rockingham county) we are descended of John Locke and Elizabeth Bolles m. abt 1677 in probably Rye, NH. Elizabeth was the daughter of Joseph Bolles of Wells, Maine. I don't know Blanche's ancestry, or if she is from Joseph Bolles line, because all I know is that her parents were John H. Bowles and Elizabeth. I don't have Blanche's marriage date, nor her parents' marriage date. Her birth is August 1866, and her father's is February 1829 and her mother's is May 1839, (from the 1900 census at Northumberland, NH) and all were born in NH. I don't know where they were married either, but both families (Bowles and Wilkinson) lived in Northumberland through the 1930's censuses (and perhaps beyond, but we don't have access to those census records yet!) My Bolles line is from another side of the family, completely different from this Blanche Bowles, (as far as I know, they could be relatives if we could trace it back since they all appear to be from NH!)
