Sheri, Found a Nancy (Bowe) Yarborough, wife of Jesse, d/o Nathaniel, Sr. & Susanna (?) Bowe. Oops! I made a mistake. Emily Rushbrok Bowe was the d/o of Hector, but Emily R. (Bowe) Timberlake was the d/o Nathaniel, Sr. & Susanna (?) Bowe, and a sister of Nancy's. Was it you that was looking for Chapman Timberlake? He married Letitia (?) and there was a Chapman, Jr. There's a Mary Timberlake, wife in 1855 of John P. Tyler. There's lots of Timberlakes in this book, but don't tell anyone, ok? ;-) ~Virginia << Yes indeed interesting! I have nothing more on Nancy Bowe, but wonder if she & Hector couldn't have been siblings. Timing & area are both good matches. Do you have any other info on Hector's parents or siblings? Sure would be neat to find a connection!

Virginia, Thank you for the info on Nancy Bowe. The Nancy I have was supposedly born Bet. 1781-1783 & died Nov. 27, 1865 & was married to Charles Tyler. Don't know if that is the same one or not unless she remarried after Charles passed away in 1853. Yes, Chapman Timberlake is in my line and was married to Letitia Browning. I have a total of nine children for them, including Chapman Jr. b.1843 The other Timberlake is Mary Ann Elizabeth Timberlake b.1816 d.Aug 4, 1889 who married John Pettus Tyler (they are my gr-gr-grandparents) b.1815 d. Sept 28, 1878 and married Feb.28, 1839 in Hanover,VA and had a total of 10 children. Thanks for this info! (Your "secret" is safe w/me..ha ha) Sheri (who is now searching for the book!) ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 9:33 PM Subject: Re: [VAHANOVE] John Henry Timberlake, also known as "J.H." and "Jack" > Sheri, > > Found a Nancy (Bowe) Yarborough, wife of Jesse, d/o Nathaniel, Sr. & Susanna > (?) > Bowe. > > Oops!
