I tried to reach you directly to ask you about a number of the surnames in your posting, but the message bounced back to me. Please contact me directly so that I know I have the correct address for you. Many thanks.

Linne, Please post information on how to join the Bowles list. my William Bowles was from Wythe county, Virginia

My pleasure, Dorothy! (Ignore the fact that that's my husband's name and address up there; same household, different names.)
Here's what you do:
Send an e-mail message to: BOWLES-request@rootsweb.com
In the Subject line, write: subscribe
In the body of the message write just one word: subscribe

When you want to post to the list, drop the "request" and use:
BOWLES@rootsweb.com

I'm eager to see what your Wythe Co. Bowles families look like. Some of the families of mine who married into the Bowles tree were in Wythe Co., so perhaps they met there before going into Barren Co., KY.
