Who are the parents of Elijah Bowles born 1751? I have been taking a closer
look at the information I have on Elijah.I know there has been some DNA done
of some lines going back to Elijah, but who are his parents? Here are some
possibably parents for Elijah.
1. John and Mary Bowles that were in Middlesex Co in the 1740-50'.
2. John and Ann that was in St Peter Parish, New Kent Co in 1730's. There is
a possibablity this is same family? Don't think so. Because John and Ann had
a son Thomas born 1733 and John and Mary a son Thomas born 1744. ( New
information,thanks to Brenda, that has straighten some things out.)
3. Thomas Bowles of Chesterfield Co married Mary Martin and had two sons
John b.1758 and James b.1760. For some reason I had them born in Middlesex
Co. They were born in St Peter Parish, in New Kent Co. That would make
Thomas Bowles born in 1733 in St Peter Parish, New Kent Co the parents of
John and James NOT Thomas born 1744 in Middlesex Co.
4. Thomas Bowles b. 1733 had two brothers in Chesterfield Co in 1783.
Zachariel Bowles born 1745 and Henry Bowles ( not sure if Henry born before
Thomas 1733 or between 1740 and when Zachariel was born 1745, my guess
between 1740-45). If before Thomas born 1733, we have the possibably of
Elijah's father being Henry, Thomas or John and Ann. Thomas b.1733 and
Zachariel b. 1745 married Martin sisters.
5. Gideon d. 1796 and David Bowles b.1732 are said to be brothers and
Gideons father to be John Bowles. Is it Possible that Gideon and David are
brothers of Thomas b.1733 and sons of John and Ann Bowles? Two more
possibables for the father of Elijah born 1751.
6. Again, who is the father of Elijah Bowles born 1751?
1. John and Ann
2. Henry
3. Thomas b.1733, d.1813
4. Gideon b.abt 1730, d. 1796
5. David b. 1732, d. 1806
