We know the William Bowles in 1820 had at least 4 sons. Ralph wrote that William and Sally Preston had two sons David and Edmond? I think someone has William Bowles that married Nancy Bolling as a son of Gideon Bowles? I also have a David Bowles who married Elizabeth Clowers 20 May 1803 in Franklin Co. David and Elizabeth migrated to Greene County TN.I don't remember Gideon Bowles having a son David, so did William Bowles that married Sally Preston have a brother David? I believe Gideon Bowles had a brother named David, who died in Bourbon Co,Ky. Think about it.
