Nancy Bowles

(18 Oct 1771 - Bef 1818)



Nancy Bowles, daughter of Knight Bowles & Sarah Curd, had her birth recorded in The Douglas Register; as 16 Dec 1790; she was baptized 3 Jun 1770. There were two other Nancy Bowles born in Goochland at about the same time. Others have suggested Nancy, daughter of Knight Curd, married Daniel Curd, and their child was Knight B. Curd, named in Knight Bowles will of 1817.

Patrick Bowles and Nannie Owen had a daughter Nannie Jones Bowles born 22 Nov 1770 and baptized 17 Mar 1771.

John Bowles and Elizabeth Curd also had a daughter Nancy, born 18 Oct 1771 and baptized Nov 1771 at St. James Northam, recorded in The Douglas Register. John left a will, dated 26 Dec 1830, in Union Co, SC, mentioning heirs of his deceased daughter Nancy Johnson, but not listing any heirs by name. [This might be consistent with Nancy leaving Virginia and going to Kentucky with David Johnson and seems to be the most likely connection.]

It would seem that David Johnson was about 15 years older than any of the above Nancy's. Perhaps his wife was still a different lady.

Marriage for David Johnson to Nancey Bowles. (Deed Book 15, p.487; Goochland Co Marriage Register p.396) 16 Dec 1790.
