In researching the Bowen family of Lunenburg/Mecklenburg, I found found a close association with the Kirks family. William Bowen Sr deeded land "for affection" to Samuel Kirks at the same time that he deeded land to two sons. It is very likely that Samuel Kirks' wife was a daughter of William Bowen Sr. The Bowens and Kirks lived near George Vaughan, son of James Voughn of Brunswick Co. James Voughn's will named an heir Winnie Curcks although her relationship wasn't stated. Would like to untangle these Kirks/Bowen/Vaughan relationships.
