Our members are always the ones in the know! I want to thank everyone who helped me understand how Richmond, VA was in three counties. Since Richmond was burned in the Civil War, this means that there's still hope that there might be Bowles records in the surrounding counties. Many thanks to a very sharp group, Linne -- At 11:30 PM -0800 1/16/06, Linne Gravestock wrote: Can anyone tell me what county Richmond, VA was in in 1782? When I went to the site that RootsWeb provides for us when we type in a city and state: http://resources.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/townco.cgi it gave me Chesterfield, Goochland and Henrico Counties. I'm still trying to track down where Benjamin Bowles came from before he arrived in KY, just before 1800. Always looking for Boles/Bowles, Jeffries, Adair and Trott
