William Henry Clark, in his 1905 Genealogy of the Clark and Pace Families, made this statement: "Lucinda S. Clark, daughter of Nancy and Samuel Clark, was born March 3, 1824, and was married to William Bowles [26 Jan] 1841. He [was born 2 Nov 1818 and] died in 1867 and she in 1868. Both were buried at the old Bowles place near the head of Fallen Timber creek. They had nine children, Samuel, Jefferson, Crittenden, Te, James, Marcellus, and three daughters whose names I do not know. Jefferson died about 1853 and was buried at the old Bowles place. All the others, if living, are in Kansas and the west." Later he said, "Nancy Hayden Clark, daughter of Nancy G. and Samuel Clark, was born Sept. 9, 1827. She married Austin W. Bowles Jan. 1, 1846, and he died July 4, 1863 and was buried at the old Bowles place. Nancy H. Bowles, died Feb. 19, 1875, and was buried at the old Bowles place." We know that Austin and Nancy Bowles' tombstones are located in the Metcalfe County cemetery designated as the Nunnally Cemetery which is located off Wilbur Glass Road. Also buried there with identifiable tombstones are Silas B. Nunnally and his son Crittendon Nunnally. Siles is said to have died in 1877, and Crittendon died on 1 May 1894 at the age of 22. Silas was a son of John B. and Elizabeth (White) Nunnally. Elizabeth was a sister to Celia White who married John Bowles. That would make Silas Nunnally and Austin Bowles first cousins. John B. and Elizabeth Nunnally were living in the Sartain District of Barren County in the 1870 and 1880 censuses. In 1837, John Bowles, father of Austin Bowles, purchased 458 acres of land on the waters of Fallen Timber Creek in Barren County (now Metcalfe County). In 1852 Elzy M. Bowles, Austin's brother, purchased 28 acres of land from his brother-in-law and sister, Thomas and Elizabeth Shockley, which was also on Falling Timber Creek. We know where this site is because the original home built by Elzy Bowles is still standing and is located north of Wilbur Glass Road and east of Highway 640. This is just north and slightly west of the location of the Nunnally Cemetery. In 1857 Austin Bowles purchased 101 acres from the Witty's. This was located on Glover Creek which is south of Falling Timber Creek and just north of Summer Shade. We have located this farm. About the same time, John Bowles sold 122 acres of his farm to his son William. The deed again indicates that the land was on Falling Timber Creek. We know that Celia White Bowles died before 1850. Her daughter Rhoda, who married Stephen White, died on 14 Apr 1850, leaving an infant son with her father. It is not clear if she died in Illinois or Kentucky, but her son was born in Illinois. It is possible that Stephen White buried her in Illinois, and returned to Kentucky with his infant son. It is also possible that she is buried at "the old Bowles place." Then John Bowles died in either late 1860 or early 1861. Next was Austin Washington Bowles who died on 4 Jul 1863. We know where he is buried. Then William A. Bowles, Austin's brother, died on 30 Mar 1867. Clark tells us that he is buried at the old Bowles place. His wife, Lucinda Clark Bowles, died on 18 Feb 1872 and she too was buried at the old Bowles place. By the way, Lucinda was sister to Austin's wife Nancy who died on 19 Feb 1875 and is buried in the same place. All of this suggests that the present cemetery named the Nunnally Cemetery might contain the unmarked graves of the following people: John Bowles Celia Bowles William A. Bowles Lucinda C. Bowles Rhoda Bowles in addition to the marked graves of Austin and Nancy Bowles. It also suggests pretty strongly that the land purchased by John Bowles in 1837 surrounds the present location of the Nunnally Cemetery. Comments are welcome. Charlie
