I appreciate your taking the time to add the historical background. This along with the article which Dave Boles pointed out is going to take me a while to assimilate.

George was born in 1538 and was over 40 yrs old when he married Joane. The inheritance for his second family came mostly from John Harte. I believe his first wife and family, was Dorothy Mallory with sons born before 1580: William, named after Dorothy's father. Christopher, named after one of Dorothy's brothers. And Thomas named after his father. William's son John, NOT George's son John by Joane, is the John Bowles that came to Virginia and died 1664. It was from Brancepeth in November 1569 that the Earls of Westmoreland and Northumberland launched their attack on Barnard Castle which was being held for Queen Elizabeth by Sir George Bowles. The Earls had even entered into negotiations with the Spanish Ambassador in an attempt to secure assistance from Philip II; the rebels garrisoned the port of Hartlepool. The rebellion collapsed after the earls were defeated near Durham on the 15 December 1569. You will find below that John Bowles good friend William Claibourne was born in Westmoreland and was about the same age as John. You will also find that William Claibourne, John Bowles, and Francis Wyatt came back over to Virginia in 1621 on the ship "George" (one of George Bowles ships). In 1624 Henry Southwell (Southy) and most of his family died in Elizabeth City. Leaving his wife Elizabeth and daughter Annie. In 1636 Elizabeth Southwell gave John Bowles a gift of land before she married Richard Popeley. In 1696, Henry Bowles claims to be a son of John Bowles and a brother to John Wyatt. I have not researched this part (yet). This is what I believe happen, Francis Wyatt married Annie Southwell and had son John Wyatt, John Bowles married Annie Wyatt widow of Francis Wyatt. John Bowles and Annie had son Henry Bowles. John Bowles was married before he married Annie because he had sons Edward born 1598 died 1659 in Maryland, John born 1615 died 1675 in Maryland. Other possible sons of William or his son John are: Valentine and Charles, both named sons William.
