Hello Jan, I descend from William and Elizabeth Bowlin's son R. S. F. M. Bowlin. In the 1850 Wayne Co., Ky. District 2, #99, it shows Sarah A. as a daughter of William & Elizabeth. I didn't know that their is another Sarah A. living next door to William & Elizabeth? I didn't see that. I'll have to go back and take another look. Maybe your Sarah and my William could be sister and brother? It didn't occur to me to look in Adair Co. Ky. I started looking across the border to Tennesse for William's parents. Have you found anything to link William and Sarah to Adair Co., Ky.? I look forward to sharing information with you!
