Will in 'Washington Co. Ky G 116
olds, William will 12/10/1838 probate 10/28/1839
aughters Susannah Bolds, ANN MCBRIDE, Monica McLean, Mary Dugan, Taresy Bryan
on John Bolds heirs son in law James Dugan
o Jacob Tufner heirs and to Belinda Yates relationship not stated
randchildren Sinta Burnett, Bethelda Sherrel, Hewlet Bolds, Washington Bolds,
nd heirs of Joseph Bolds, Sevilly and Jane Bolds
x. My friend Thomas P Arvin

ccording to "Pioneer History of Washington County" Wm. Bolds was a Rev.
ar vet. Also a native of ST. MARY'S COUNTY, MD. Said he was 91 in 1834.
his info came from a newspaper clipping, History of Washington County,
y O.W. Baylor, 14 Mar 1935.

778 -- Wm. Boulds and Ignatius Bowles took an oath of allegience to the
ew state of Maryland, as required by law. (Have copy of oath; from
atholic Families of Eastern MD., O'Rourke.)

785 -- (From Catholicity in Kentucky): a "league" of 60 Catholic
amilies (Maryland Land League), most from St. Mary's Co., MD, formed and
ledged to emigrate to KY. 25 families left in early 1785, reached KY by
pring. Settled in Pottiner's Creek lands. Three brothers, Ignatius,
illiam and John Bowles included. "The Bowles brothers, Ignatius, John
nd William, were upright and pious men, and greatly respected in the
ommunity." Interesting note: "It is a singular circumstance in the
istory of Catholic emigration to Kentucky, that the first colony of
migrants should have settled on lands that were, possibly, the least
nviting of any to be found in all Central Kentucky." Probably because of
nscrupulous speculators in Maryland who held the patents.

786 -- Shows up on Nelson Co., VA (now KY) tithables list. (Also 1788,
790, Cpt. John Caldwell's Company, and 1791, with a negro named
harles.)
12 Sep 1788, the Court "ordered that Bazell Hayden John
hillips and Wil. Bolles being sworn to appraise the estate of Ignatius
issell, decsd., and make a return thereof to the court."

hows up on Washington Co. Tax Lists, 1792, 1794, 1795, 1796, 1797, 1799,

lack; 4 horses, 23 cattle, 115 acres. And 1795: Boulds, William, 1 white

owles m. Catherine Gough were s/o John Bowles & Monica Wooten.

Gayle,

If you're correct on the godparents, my guess would be that this William
Bowles was the son of John Bowles, Jr. and wife, Susanna. Ann (Gough)
Howard was William's 1st cousin, and if I've got the right William she was
also his sister-in-law as, Ignatius Bowles, brother of this William,
married
Catherine Gough, Ann's sister.

Would this be the William Bowles who died 1839 in Washington Co., KY? His
wife's name wasn't given in his will. I have his wife as Mary Cissell
with
no notes at all.

I'm sorry if this has been answered before. If so, I missed it.

The following is in the book "Catholic Families of Southern Maryland", in
the listing of Baptisms at St. Francis Xavier & St. Inigoes.

14 Mar 1779 - ______ Bowles of William and Catherine - Thomas and Ann
Howard

I think the godparents were:
Thomas Howard (born about 1737 St. Mary's, Maryland - died between 28
May-24
Nov 1810 Nelson, Kentucky), son of Edward Howard, and his wife,

Ann Gough Howard (born 1738 St. Mary's, Maryland-died 9 Mar 1836 Nelson ,
Kentucky), daughter of Peter Gough and Eleanor Bowles.

Questions: Is this William Bowles related to Ann Gough? How? Who were the
parents of William Bowles? Who was his wife Catherine?

Thank you,
Gayle Howard Londeree
