Just found a paper in some of my mother's stuff. It has a title of John D. Bowling---Ancestor---Grandfather. I have no idea who he is but I do see in my PG County books some of his ancestors who are listed....like Contee, Hall, Turner, Keetch, Sullivan, Plummer, Mercer, Forbes, Claggett. There is no date on this paper but for instance, it lists "Mattie Bowling married, Henry W. Clagett. She is dead. He is living." I noted in my PG County, MD Marriages and Deaths in 19th Century Newspaper that Mattie Bowling Clagett died on 7/1e/1867 at the age of 24, daughter of Col John D. Bowling. If anyone has ever heard of any of these folks, I would appreciate hearing from them. I'm uncertain why they would be in box of stuff as I don't know them but would be curious to know any connection to my Mattingly family in PG County. Thanks, Elizabeth Culhane Fairport, New York
