>From the "Life and Diary of Reading W. Black" : "The original muster rolls of the companies are in the Texas State Library. The next Indian depredations in Uvalde County came in 1859, one of the bloodiest years in the history of the Southwest. The attacks culminated October 28, in a raid on the lower Sabinal River, in which John Bowles and John Davenport were killed.--" "Vivid accounts of the Indian fights may be found in A.J. Sowell, 'Early Settlers and Indian Fighters'." Can you tell me where in TN John Bowles was born or came from? Dorice in Austin
