We assume his mother was probably a Minitree and we looked at that family for sometime. Have you done any research on the Minitree family?

Minitree Bowles is the name of one of my husband's something-great grandfathers - this I discovered from a death certificate. I am tracing several lines at once and have gotten no further than the 1850 census for Minitree Bowles. I have also put inquiries on a couple of county genweb pages but have not actively pursued this line yet. Sorry I cant be of any help to you in your research.... Louise
