Jody: I have a book of over 400 pages of BOWLES/PATE/BOLLING/WEBBER/ & TOWNSEND information, and their connections. Where do I start? I will soon have a lineage sheet on my Bowles Site, on Myfamily.com, but it isn't quite ready. Shouldn't I send this to your home E-mail or is this something that TXBELL is interested in? The lineage goes something like this. John Bowles, 1 John Bowles, 11 John Bowles, 111 b. abt 1648, m. Jane Benjamin Bowles, b. abt. 1690 d. 1767-68 m. Nancy M. Benjamin Bowles, b. 1720 d. 1768, m.
