Hi Coz, Nathaniel Bowe died 1785, his eldest son William Adm his will. My guess is Nathaniel's father was William since he named his first son William. And that Nathaniel would be a son of William and Deborah, and brother to Thomas T. Bowles. Thomas Bowles b.1761 son of Thomas T, named a son Nathaniel V.born 1785, after this Nathaniel and Valentine a brother to Thomas T. his father. Your DNA relation John Bowles born 1777 named a son Hardin Bowles, probably after Hardin Burnley who had died before 1785. Nathaniel Bowe had three sons I know of ; William, John, and Nathaniel. John Bowles b.1777 could be a son of either of these three. Thomas Bowles who married Mary Anderson was a brother to William Bowles who married Deborah. Thomas and Mary Anderson had a son Anderson Bowles who also had sons; William, John, and Nathaniel. John born 1777 could be a son of this group. You will also find a Sarah Bowe listed below with Jno. Jervis, overseer. You will find this group in NC. This is how I see your line; Charles, Valentine, John, Thomas, William, Thomas T., Thomas b.1761, ect. Hey Cuz, I'm going to send this to Bowles-L also.Anybody on Bowles-L that belong to Charles or Valentine line that will do a DNA test?
