July 1732, At an Orphans Court the following guardians were summoned to
appear with their several orphans that inquiry may be made if they have done
them justice.
Among those;
Hollaway Bunting guardian of Zerobabele Bold, & John Bool guardian of Dewey
& Tabitha Booll.

If I am correct on this Hollaway Bunting married Elizabeth Bowles daughter
of Richard Bowles who died 1669 in Norfolk Co. Richard that died in
Northampton Co is the son of Richard that died in Norfolk. There is more.
Thomas Bowles died in Accomack Co in 1709 leaving some children, one being
Zacharial Bowles who died 1720 in Accomack Co leaving two sons and a
daughter who married a Smith. Zachariel left his children to his brother
Thomas Bowles as guardian. Thomas died before 1723 and his wife Mary Ann
married Thomas Kellam. Thomas Kellam in his will calls the orphans his
kinsmen.My guess is both Mary Ann and Thomas Kellam had died by 1732 and
Zachariel's youngest child Zerobabele new guardian was Hollaway Bunting.
Zachariel other son was Zachariel. At this point we have connected the MD
and VA counties Norfolk, Northampton, and Accomack Co Bowles together.
