Wayne, These records from the Valentine Papers might be helpful to you in possibly connecting Bowles with Henderson. It looks like William Henderson was a neighbor of several Bowles in the Hanover Co. area of Virginia. If you should find any connections to these guys among the Orange Co. Bowles lines, please post it to the Bowles list. That would be pretty interesting information.
