Hi: One of my gg grandfathers, Jonathan Christian, married Sarah(Sallie) Nowlin in Appomattox County about 1828. She was born about 1812, county unknown. Jonathan owned land in Buckingham & Appomattox Counties. Their daughter, Minerva Christian Johnson is one of my g grandmothers. She lived in Buckingham County all of her married life.I have the names of Minerva's sisters, but have been unable to find them since reading your e-mail. I suspect they are related to your Nowlins, but don't know how. If you discover how, please let me know. One of my aunt's middle name is Nowlin. Hank Simpson
