We Bowles researchers know there were more than one way to spell Bowles back in those days. I'm going to start with the end for Thomas (which ever way you want to spell his name). Elizabeth has done it again, this time she married John Straton. Not sure if the Elizabeth Causon (arrested 1640) is the same Elizabeth. Could be the Elizabeth Lawson that immigrated in 1636? Why I think Lawson and Causon are the same. Next post. Watch out for the Thorowgoods and Gookins. Leathel, Aug 3,1640, VA Mag, 40,p,136.
