This is Obadiah W. Bowles, son of John and Celia (White) Bowles of Barren/Metcalfe Counties. He married Amanda Twitchell, widow of Asa Twitchell, on 22 Sep 1893 in Pleasant Valley, El Dorado County, CA. Obediah was in Barren County on 15 Aug 1848 when he witnessed his sister Elizabeth’s wedding to Thomas Stockley. Since he was not in the 1850 Barren Co census, he apparently left for California sometime after the wedding date. Perhaps he went for the gold rush? As far as we know, he had no children.
