Lafayette Bowles was born 31 Aug 1831 and died 22 Jan 1907. He was a son of John and Celia (White) Bowles. Lafayette married twice. By his first wife, Amanda Payne (daughter of Edmond and Elvira [Witty] Payne) he was the father of Isaac Newton Bowles who was born 1 Jan 1872 and died 2 Sep 1931. Isaac married Lizzie Harbison on 20 Jun 1907 in Tennessee, and they had five children: Guy, Wilma Mae, Mabel Ruth, Mary Kathryn, and Harold. Lafayette's second wife was Julia Anderson (daughter of James and Solima Anderson) whom he married on 15 Apr 1895 after Amanda's death on 4 Sep 1892. Lafayette was my great-great grand-uncle.
