Dear Lists; a while back I asked about the parents of the following
Catherine Gough:

> MARRIAGE & DEATHS OF ST. Mary's Co
> Ignatius Bowles m Catherine Gough 21 Jan 1777 at Newtown RCC


Mary Louise Donnelly mentions them in this book:

> Mary Louise Donnelly, Colonial Settlers St. Clement's Bay 1634 - 1780
> St. Mary's County, Maryland, 41.

I went through the available Catherine Goughs and found Peter and
Eleanor Bowles as the most likely parents. Catherine's estimated age is
correct and her siblings, Ann, Susannah and Ignatius Gough lived close
to her in Kentucky:

> Descendants of Peter Gough
>
> 1 Peter Gough b: Bef. 1723 in St. Mary's Co., MD d:
> Bet. 24 Sep 1766 - 10 Feb 1767 in St. Marys Co. MD
> . +Eleanor Bowles b: Bef. 1728 in St. Mary's Co., MD d:

> Co., MD d: Aft. 13 May 1817
> ....... +Ignatius Bowles b: Bet. 1748 - 1753 in St. Mary's
> Co., MD d: 1817 in Nelson Co KY m: 21 Jan 1777 in St. Francis
> Xavier RCC, Compton, St. Mary's Co., MD Father: John Bowles,
> Sr. Mother: Susanna Smith

Ignatius Bowles/Boles names their children in his will:

> Will of Ignatius Boles 5/13/1817, Will Book C, Nelson County, KY
>
> In the name of God Amen I Ignatius Boles of Nelson County as of state
> of Kentucky being weak in body yet of a sound and perfect

> Ignatius (X his mark) Boles (Seal) Sined in the presents of us
> Proctor Ballard, Joseph Cissell, Chales C. Cissell

The names Eleanor, Tracey, Ignatius and Ann appear in both families.

Can anyone help with additional proof for the parents of Catherine
"Caty" Gough?
