That one sounded so hopeful with the unusual name of Lemuel Bowles but all the children's names are different. 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
