    3. Bill Bowles sent me a photo he took of the grave marker for Frank Bowles who is buried in Boot HIll at Tombstone AZ. There are several pictures of this on the Internet (search for Frank Bowles and Boot Hill or Tombstone). It appears that his name was James Franklin Bowles. I've located and transcribed the census records for 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 for him, and they are listed below. I'm not related to him, and have no other information about him, but a search on the Internet will certainly turn up more about this family. 1850 Federal Census: Texas, Milam County, Milam and Williamson District, page 15B household 419/435 John Bowles - 48 M, farmer, born MS Milly C.
