The Pleasant Hill Church Cemetery is a lovely place (or it was when we visited it in 1989) where you will find Jabel and Nancy's memorial stone and several other Bowles' as well as one of his daughters, Frances (wife of Job Kessell). Jeptha Mason also has a stone there. No doubt others in the cemetery will be of interest as well. And, if you haven't already seen it, find the book "Jackson County, West Virginia, Past and Present" done in 1990 by the Jackson County Historical Society. It is great.

We are interested in Jabel Bowles, one of the pioneer settlers of the Parchment area in Jackson Co., formerly, Mason Co. Jabel's 1870 will being proved about 1 Nov 1875. His son, Martin, moved to Clay co. Indiana where my father-in-law [great grand son of Martin] grew up. The goal is to visit some of the areas that they lived in and fill in some of the data gaps.
