    3. Back to the family of Robert Letcher Bowles, Sr. (1788-1856). married Annie Foreman, December 13, 1813 in Bourbon Co., Ky. who farmed somewhere near Jackstown in Bourbon Co., Kentucky. They had the following children: [1]William (Robert Letcher Bowles, Sr. (4) Jesse(3) Capt. David(2) John(1)who, we know, died at age twenty-six. And that is all we know about him? Pure speculation: could he have died in the great Civil War?? [2]Eleanor Bowles (Robert Letcher Bowles, Sr.(4), Jessee(3), Capt. David(2), John(1) was born September 24, 1814 and died December 16, 1872. She married Charles W. Taylor who was the older brother of Wesley Lander Taylor who married her sister, Emmarine Bowles. The Taylors lived on Harrod's Creek near North Middletown, Bourbon Co., Ky. Charles W. Taylor was born about 1811 in Bourbon Co., Ky. s/o Simon Taylor and Rebecca Lander. He died about 1875 in Miller Township, Marion Co. Mo and was buried in the old Whaley Cemetery in Miller Township, Marion Co., Missouri. 1850 Federal Census Miller Township, Marion Co., Missouri: #466/#493 Charles W. Taylor, 39 (1811), Ky.
