The Bowles family in 1870 Pendleton Co KY is JAMES Bowles not LEMUEL. I verified this on Heritagequest and Ancestry.com. I found two John Bowles, born Canada, living in Massachusetts but neither of their wives was names Catherine/Katherine.

About Lemuel though, it's a family name throughout that one Bowles branch in Canada but I don't know of it coming up in any of the other Canadian branches. Does this Kentucky Bowles branch happen to connect back to county Cavan, Ireland by any chance? > > > > > From: MFeltnbrgr@aol.com > > Date: 2005/06/26 Sun PM 12:17:43 CDT > > To: BOWLES-L@rootsweb.com > > Subject: John Lemuel Bowles > > > > The only one that comes even close to your information is the following: > > > > Precinct No. 4 in the County of Pendleton, State of Kentucky 25 June 1870 > > > > Lemuel Bowles age 28 > > Catherine Bowles age 27 > > Charles age 8 > > Mary E age 6 > > John A age 2 > > William age 24 a farm hand > > > > Hope this helps. > > > > Marcy in California a decendant of David Bowles (Revolutionary War) > > > > > > Tom LaPorte > >
