If it's Milam Co., TX in 1858, the Bowles there should be mine. So this one had me stumped until I realized that I's and J's were interchangeable during an era of our history. This is Jesse P. Bowles, my gggrandfather's brother, who had a store in Milam Co. My guess is that he's suing a customer for an unpaid bill, or a supplier, but my guess could be wrong. If anyone has any information about Mr. Warfield or Milam Co., please do let us all know.
