    1. [BOWLES] Bowles cem in Barren Co. ky.
    2. Major Bowles
    3. After a lot of looking I found the Bowles cem in Barren Co as told by a man who owned the land. He told me there is a stone in the middle and is inscribed as the Bowles cem. This was on the property owned by Peter Morris Bowles b 1820 in Shelby Co Ky and moved to Barren around 1831 with his parents he died in 1905. Thomas Tinsley Bowles b 1798 d 1839 and Mary (Polly) Brown Bowles and others buried there as was John Brown Bowles and his wife Mary Elizabeth. I'm sure there was others. The cem is approx 8 miles from Glasgow Ky east on 1297 road, it has a fence around it in a clump of trees. they are so thick you can't see anything. This was the old road between Glasgow and Bowling Green Ky. Its on the west side of the road not far from the Zion Cem which is on the east side. This area is known as the Beckton community which is at the intersection of Beckton Rocky Hill Road,1297 Road, and Road 685. Dale Bowles
