I would like any information on the Bowles family. My fathers father was Rideau and he had 3 brothers I think. Rideau was killed at a young age by a train, he was a conducter,my father was 1 or 2 years old and doesn't remember him. He was married to Laura Tressie Jerkins of Moultrie, Ga...and I believe they resided in Macon, Ga......Bonnie Parmer
