i have posted info everywhere that i could trying to figure out who he may be related to but nobody has come forward yet. I wish I had the time to go to Pittsylvania co so i could try and find out more about this John Bowles. I had planned to go several weeks ago but the price of gas kinda burdened my trip ya know ?? I still havnt give up yet on going, it is about 75 miles there for me. Do u live close by yourself ??

If so, he had a brother named Alexander Hamilton Bowles who was born in 1793. I am descended from Alexander Hamilton Bowles who ended up in Henry County, Virginia (possibly part that used to be Pittsylvania County). Do you know anything else about the John Bowles living with the Bennetts in Pittsylvania County in 1850? I see that the 1850 Census shows him as being born in approximately 1790 and that he was a laborer on the Bennett land. The birth in 1790 would be about right for a brother of Alexander Hamilton Bowles.

She shows he married Nancy Mary Cabiness (b. 11/1832 VA) and I show he married Nancy Mary Griggs born 1831. Anyhow I can't get into it too far right now as am getting some information and pictures together for the Bassett Historical Center for the coming Fieldale Festival. I found that Lemuel David Bowles is the son of my great great grandfather, Alexander Hamilton Bowles (1793-1877) and his second wife Catherine Goode. I descend from Alexander through his son Jabel (just found out his name is Daniel Jabel Bowles from a deed) through his second wife, Ann Prillaman, daughter of Elizabeth "Betsy Stanley and Daniel Prillaman. I have a copy of a deed for Lemuel also. Lots of searching going on and lots of new discoveries for me. Thanks to Lazella.
