Hello, I am researching Addie "BOWES" TYLER (b. 12-04-1892 - d. 7-15-1970 - married to William TYLER b. Dec. 1888 - d. about 1960) . Addie was born in West Virginia - probably Summers or Greenbrier County - and later lived with husband William in Summers County the remainder of her life. According to Addie's Social Security application, her father was John F. BOWES, and mother was Martha SPINKS, of Greenbrier County, West Virginia. (John F. Bowes born in Pennsylvania and Martha Spinks born in West Virginia, once part of Virginia, according to census information.) In the 1880 Lewisburg, Greenbrier, West Virginia census, there is a Martha SPINKS - age 13, therefore born about 1867, who was living with her father and mother, John E. (age 56) and Millie A. SPINKS (age 50) in the home of Martha's sister Nancy J. and her husband William HINKLE - several other siblings of John and Millie SPINKS and also William and Nancy HINKLE are also in the household. This appears to be the correct Martha SPINKS, as age and place would be appropriate. Marriage information for John F. BOWES and Martha SPINKS states marriage took place on 01-11-1891 in Greenbrier County, WV. Any further information on any of these individuals would be greatly appreciated. Vicki L.
