Dear All, About a year ago, I wrote the following. I think I may have found the definitive paper on the descendants of Sir George Bolles (Bowles). Go to: http://www.vdgs.demon.co.uk/files/chelys/16chelys1987.pdf However, now I cannot find anything at that link. It may be that you can get to the original source from the article noted in the paragraph below. Also, I have summarized what I found on the above site in the following paragraphs. Unfortunately, I did not always put in the dates. If you want to print the article (no. 3) on Sir Robert Bolles, print pages 17 thru 30. The reference for the article is: Margaret Urquhart, "Sir Robert Bowles Bt. of Scampton", VdGS Chelys, The Journal of the Viola da Gamba Society, Vol. 16 (1987), pp. 16-29. The family tree is summarized on page [27] of the article. This tree ended for the Bolles name when Sir John Bolles, 4th Baronet of Scampton, died unmarried in 1714. Therefore, it does not appear possible for our line to have descended from Sir George Bowles, Lord Mayor of London. Note that Sir George Bowles married Joan (Joanna) Hart who was the widow of a man named German Gates (see the first source on page 28 of the article). So, she was Joan Gates when Sir George married her. Sir George and Joan had only one son, John, plus two daughters, Anne and Judith. George and Joan's son, John Bowles, Ist Baronet of Scampton, married Katherine Conyers and had four sons, George, Conyers, John and Robert, and two daughters, Isabella and Joan. Conyers and John died as infants and George died at age 19 without ever having any children. Sir Robert Bolles, 2nd Baronet of Scampton, married Mary Hussey and had two sons, John and Robert, and six daughters, Isabella, Katherine, Mary, Elizabeth, Anne and Olympia. Robert died at age 24 without any children. Sir John Bolles, 3rd Baronet of Scampton, had one daughter, Mary, by his first wife and then a son, John, and a daughter, Sarah, by his second wife (possibly two other children by the second wife, Henry and Elizabeth, both of whom died in infancy or early childhood). At any rate, Sir John Bolles, 4th Baronet of Scampton, was the only chance to continue the Bolles name and he died in 1714 with no children (never married). Let me know if someone has better information or can figure out how to get to the site that I cannot now find.
