Hi Judy, The statement that the Whittington Bowens Sr & Jr. both married Rachel Jenkins is in direct contradiction to documentation and what we concluded before, and what I believe is accurate based on my own research back then and at the OCmuseum website. At the ghotes website, based on the conclusions back when you have Whittington Bowen JR, married to Rachel Jenkins, dtr of John Jenkins and widow of Pattey Truitt. See: http://www.esva.net/ghotes/bowen/d0/i0022131.htm#i22131 I don't think there is any evidence that Whittington Bowen SR married anybody other than Lavinia Fleming. He died before there are documents of a Whittington Bowen and Rachel. Do you have some documentation to that effect? I'm always open to correction and new info. ALSO, Pattey Truitt was the son of George Truitt and Mary Pattey, not William as seems to be stated below. A relationship for which there is ample documentation. Though, I realize you are probably talking about Whittington Sr's father being William and not Pattey's, but the way it is written below is ambiguous? Maybe now, ten plus years later we'll get a few more things sorted out. Such as where does the middle/given name "Tenant" (var spellings) amongst the Bowens come in? My Seth Whaley and Elizabeth Richards Bowen, and others have given that to one of their sons. My best, Janet Hunter Whittington Bowen d. 1790 Wor., m.
