Does anyone know of the men that went west during the gold rush days from Carroll Co. KY? I had a G-g-grandfather that disapeared about that time period. George W. Bowling left a wife and childern before the 1850 census. I don't know what happened to him. Thanks, Nancy

From Gallatin Co Marriages: George W. Bowling to Catherine Minish, md Jan 19 1832 by Rev. B. T. Crouch, bond by G. W. Bowling and Richard Minish Richard Bowling to Sarah Brown, md Sep 30 1828 by Rev. Joseph Hardy; bond by Richard and Turner Bowling. Turner Bowling to Ann Lingfelter, dau of Michael Lingfelter, md May 21 1821 by Rev. Henry Brenton, bond by Turner Bowling and John Lingfelter. None of these men appear in the 1850 census as far as I can tell, though Catherine and her children are there. Perhaps if you find these other Bowlings, you'll find George as well.
