Hello, I am looking to communicate with anyone who is descended from/researching the man: Chief John BOWLES/BOLD HUNTER/DUWALI/DIWALI/DUWALI'I/THE BOWL According to some he was born in 1756 and others say abt. 1750 and abt. 1740 in North Carolina. After movement through various Southern states he finally led many of the Cherokee people into Missouri and Arkansas before finally setting in East Texas in Van Zandt County. He was known as "The Cherokee Moses." Chief John BOWLES/BOLD HUNTER/DUWALI was killed on July 16, 1839, while leading 500 Indians of various tribes against 500 Texans the last engagement between Cherokees and whites in Texas. He was a friend of Sam HOUSTON, (adopted son of Chief JOLLY and member of the Cherokee tribe.) The information that I have on Chief John BOWLES includes that he was half Scottish, (his father's lineage,) and half Cherokee, (his mother's lineage.) Either just his father or his mother and his father were killed by whites in North Carolina. The BOWLES family is related to other Cherokee lines that I am also researching including the LIGHTFOOT/DUNCAN/BENGE and the WATTS. I show information and some descendants from his 3 known wives after he was abt. age 50 years old but nothing before that. I am interested in finding out if he is the same BOLD HUNTER/aka"Too-wah-yello," who is thought to be the father of Sofia/Sophia HUNTER, (mother: BEAVER TOTER/TOATER/"To-wah-yeh-leesa.") BEAVER TOTER/TOATER/"To-wah-yeh-leesa" is found on the 1835 Henderson Rolls and in the book, "EARLY CHEROKEE PLANTERS IN GEORGIA," and she was the owner of land in Georgia where she lived with sons: Beaver Toter on the Henderson Rolls 1835. Beaver Toater Ga. states where they were enrolled. Hog Toater Ga. Jim Toater Ga. Light Toater Al. Sofia/Sophia HUNTER married Hugh PIERCE, (RS,) born: abt. 1749 in Frederick Co., VA, (parents: ??,) and she later died in Texas and many of her descendants were also living in Van Zandt County. Looking forward to hearing if anyone out there might have any clues about any of this. In advance, I thank you. Sincerely, Bellinda
