Thanks Annette, I seen that John had married Nancy soon after I made the post, also found more information on the GA Bowles under Booles. What I am working on is the Chesterfield Co Bowles line and I believe that Henry belongs to this line in some way. I will post some information on the Chesterfield line and see what you think?

Leathel We have no paper trail of Henry before he signed a petition in Charles City Co., VA, in 1780. He paid taxes there in 1784, then was in Prince George Co. from 1785-1791, in Sussex from 1792-1801, in Greensville from 1802-1805, back in Sussex in 1806-1807. He was in Bedford Co. by 1811, and died there in 1821, leaving a will. A probable daughter married in Sussex Co. in 1806 - to John Jones. Henry was bondsman. We think she and her husband probably died young without issue. The only record that I feel fairly sure is this couple was a deed selling land in 1814. We have found no record before 1780 and no DNA matches to give us any clues. One line of descendants that Elizabeth Little found said that Susannah Hill was Henry's wife. We have no marriage record and don't know if Susannah was the mother of all his children. He is very frustrating! If you can connect him to anybody, we will be thrilled!
