I'm looking for any information on the family of Gustavus Adolphus L. Bolles who was born in South Carolina about 1807. I've found him as far back as the 1830-1840 Pickens County, SC census. By 1850, he had moved his family to Fayette Co., AL, and by 1860, to Lauderdale County, AL, appearing in both the 1860 & 1870 census. By 1880, G.A.L. Bolles had moved to Hardin Co., TN to live with the family of his son, Daniel. That is the last I can find of him or any of his sons' families.

There is also a record of a land purchase in the records of the Bureau of Land Management's General Land Office database for 40.06 acres in Lauderdale County, AL in 1860.

Gustavus married a Charlotte ? around 1825 in SC, and had at least 6 children:
Gustavus (b. abt 1826) m. Jane ?
William (b. abt 1829) m. Elizabeth ?
Calaway (b. abt 1830)
Clarissa (b. 1835) m. William R.L. Minton
Daniel (b. abt 1835)
Matilda (b. abt 1837)

All my information on him can be found at my World Connect tree:

In various records, I've found his last name spelled Boles, Bolles, Bolls, Bowles and Bowls. Clarissa, I've always found consistently spelled Bowles. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
