Dear LAWS list, Since I am new to the list, allow me to introduce my areas of interest. My direct paternal ancestor--and brick wall--is Peter BOWMAN (born sometime before 1734, died sometime after 1809) married Elsa LAWS (born ca. 1744, died before March 1780), possibly in today's Halifax/Pittsylvania Co., VA, where BOWMAN resided in 1756. The bride's family tree (from both primary and secondary sources) includes: (Tentative information) James LAWS (born bef. 1669, probably Scotland). His son is: William LAWS, Sr. (b. 4 January 1690, Kemay, Aberdeen, Scotland, died after 1733). His son is: (Proven information) William LAWS (b. 20 February 1718, died bef. 7 January 1780, Wilkes Co., NC), married to Mary UNKNOWN. The known children of William LAWS and Mary UNKNOWN (based on will posted on Wilkes Co., NC, RootsWeb) are: 1. Elsa LAWS (married to Peter BOWMAN, above); 2. Amay LAWS (b. 1746, married to unknown DYER); 3. Mary LAWS (b. ca. 1748, married to unknown CROSS); 4. Ann LAWS (b. ca. 1750, married to John LOVELACE); 5. Patty LAWS (b. ca. 1752, married to unknown ADAMS); 6. Abigail LAWS (b. ca. 1754, married to Thomas HAMPTON); and 7. Welcome William (also known as William Welcome) LAWS (b. ca. 1756, married to Amelia LOW). In 1780, A Peter BOWMAN (possibly/probably Elsa LAWS' widower) marries a second wife--Elizabeth WILSON--in today's Wilkes Co., NC. Their union (probably) resulted in at least three children: James BOWMAN, Phoebe BOWMAN and Elizabeth BOWMAN. (James BOWMAN is my direct line, and he and his descendants moved to Johnson Co., TN; then to today's Owsley Co., KY, before the Civil War.) Unable to conclusively document the ancestry of Peter BOWMAN, I turned to his uncle/brother/cousin--Cornelius BOWMAN, Sr.--because he was easier to document and successfully traced his ancestry to Holland in the 1620s. I've been concentrating on his lines and have confirmed them all--plus some of the lines of people they traveled with down through NJ>PA>VA>NC to 1770. (I' m working on about 700+ families.) Any help you can give on the Peter BOWMAN/LAWS line would be wonderful. (I have done a good deal of work in Wilkes/Rowan Co., NC, on this and other families, but haven't entered it in my data base yet because I've been working exclusively in the 1600s-mid-1700s for about a year.) Perhaps this information will help someone else, too. Bonnie Bowman Henson in San Diego Co., CA

Laws Lewis L. Laws, 84, former resident of Espafiola, died Sept. 26 in Albuquerque. Funeral services will be held Friday, Oct. 5, in the Block-Salazar Mortuary Chapel with Rev. M. C. Bonecutter officiating. Burial will be in the National Cemetery in Santa Fe. Mr. Laws was one of nine children and in 1932 at the age of 15 moved with his family from Oklahoma to Santa Fe where he was employed at the Safeway store. He met and married his wife Florence in Santa Fe and an uncle convinced him to go into the sewing machine business. He sold sewing machines throughout New Mexico and Arizona, and eventually opened a Singer Sewing Machine shop in Prescott, Ariz., where they lived until World War II when they moved back to New Mexico and purchsed property in Fairview. Mr. Laws joined the Navy and served in the Philippines during the war and his wife remained in Española working as a beautician and keeping the family farm going. On his return from the Navy, Laws purchased Globe Furniture and a motel in Española, and his wife continued to run a beauty shop. In the early 1960s they moved the furniture store to Arroyo Seco where he also purchased and developed land. They remained there until moving to Albuquerque in the 1990s for health reasons. He is survived by a son Bruce of Albuquerque, a sister Mattie Clem of Oklahoma, three grandchildren and other relatives. He was preceded in death by his wife Florence, and two children, John and Alice. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society or Alzheimer's Assn., both in Albuquerque.
