The David Bowles (Boles) who married Elizabeth Clower (Clowers) in Franklin Co. VA in my g-great grandfather. I have many of his proven descendents but we have been unable to establish his parents or siblings. I would sure appreciate any, and all, help in the effort. His widow and their children, and some other kin, were prominent in the Ledger of the Bright Hope Furnace, Greene County TN 1835-36. He died in 1826 and his will is recorded in Greene Co.
