It looks like New Kent Co had two parishes (St Steven's & St. Peter's) until 1704 when St Peter's Parish was divided into two parishes (St Peter's & St Paul's). In 1720 St Paul's Parish became Hanover Co,VA. Hanover Co is located between the Pamunkey River (northside) and Chickahominy River (southside). Here is a list of Bowles I have that were in New Kent Co between 1654 and 1720. Not all Bowles in New Kent Co lived in St Paul Parish in 1720 that became Hanover Co.
