http://users.fastermac.net/gbockmon/appndxa.html Boan (Bowen), Capt. William was born in Virginia in 1742 and by age 35 had "accumulated quite a handsome estate." He fought in the Colonial Army of Virginia against the French and Indians, in the Battle of Point Pleasant on 10 October 1774, at Fort Randolph in 1775 and had been with Russell's Rangers when they helped relieve the besieged fort at Watauga. During the Revolutionary War he served in the cavalry protecting the frontiers in Virginia and Tennessee from the British, Indians, and Tories, At the end of the war he, with 15 other soldiers of the Continental army, traveled "all through Kentucky and the Cumberland country" prospecting for the best places to locate their land warrants. Captain Bowen claimed land in what is now Smith County, Tennessee "but the larger portion in Sumner County, about twelve miles from Nashville," where his family joined him in 1784. For two years they lived in a double log house and then built the first brick house west of the mountains. In good condition, it stands today in the Moss-Wright Park at Goodlettsville.28 His name appears on the 1787 military payroll.29 One "negro boy who is the possession of William Bowen" was sold to Andrew Jackson by George Augustus Sugg,30 and "William Bowen of Davidson County Mero sold unto Andrew Jackson a negro girl named Peg."31
Notes for ARTHUR BOWEN: http://www.byron.johnson.org/d7.htm#P1217 Arthur BOWEN(18) was born about 1744 in Augusta Co, VA. He died about 1816. Parents: John BOWEN and Lily MCILHANEY. He was married to Mary MCMURRAY.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~oldpend/bowen/bowg02.htm#3720C 15. Arthur Bowen (John , Moses ) was born 17 Jan 1743/1744 in Augusta Co., VA. He died 1816 in Washington Co., VA.

Notes for MARY BOWEN: http://www.byron.johnson.org/d8.htm#P1167 Mary BOWEN was born about 1748 in Augusta Co, VA. (18) She died in 1820 in Lincoln Co, TN. (18) Her grave has been found in the Sandifer-Porter Cemetery "on Helm's land of Chapel Hill Road, off Liberty Valley Road, Marshall County, Tennessee". The stone bears the inscription "Sacred to the memory of Mary Porter, wife of William Porter, who was the mother of 9 sons and 5 daughters..." The rest of the stone is missing, but family sources give the date of her death as 1820. Several of her family are buried in the cemetery near her. These are Stephen A. Porter and his wife Mary; Catherine Porter, the first wife of Joseph Porter; and David Porter, William Porter, and William B. Porter, grandsons who died young. Others related to her are a grandson, Stephen A. Porter, Jr., John Porter, Jr., and his wife Lou Doss Porter, and Rachel Leonard, a great-granddaughter. Parents: John BOWEN and Lily MCILHANEY. She was married to William PORTER in 1763 in Augusta Co, VA.(18) William and Mary (Bowen) Porter are known to have had thirteen children. However, her tombstone says "mother of nine sons and five daughters". It is probable that a son, whose name we do not have, died before his father and is therefore not named in the will. There are several different lists of these children. John Porter, of Pike County, Illinois, named his "aunts and uncles" in a list kept in the family Bible. He said the order was not correct. He listed all males first. Jamie Grady's book, Bowens of Virginia and Tennessee, gives the names of these children in the supplement to Volume I. A corrected list appears in Volume II. There were known errors in the latter list, also. Lists of names of these children are different on two applications for membership in the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution. For several of these children, approximately correct birth dates have been obtained from family records in possession of descendants. Marriage dates on records make it possible to group the older ones. Census records are available on some who are in the 1850 Census. Children were: Agnes PORTER , Lilly PORTER, William PORTER , Jean PORTER, Mary PORTER , John PORTER, David PORTER , Charles PORTER, Joseph PORTER, Elizabeth PORTER, Stephen PORTER, Samuel PORTER, Rees PORTER.
Notes for WILLIAM PORTER II: http://www.byron.johnson.org/d31.htm#P1166 William PORTER was born between 1735 and 1740 in Goshen, Rockbridge, VA. (18)(115) He died in 1804 in Rockbridge, Co, VA.(110) William Porter's will was proven September 4,1804 in Rockbridge County, VA. It was drawn September 9, 1803. John Rodgers, Sr., William Buchannan, and John Leiden were the witnesses. A bond of the executor was set at $3,000 which was a sizeable estate for 1800. After William Porter's death, eventually, all of his land in Virginia was sold to comply with the terms of his will. All of his sons except Samuel, whose whereabouts is unknown, went to Tennessee. William and his wife Fannie had settled about 1801 or 1802 in McMinn County, Tennessee. David, then unmarried, was in Tennessee as early as 1803. John, Charles, Joseph, Stephen, and Reese, with their aged mother, left Virginia in the years immediately following their father's death. They settled in Lincoln County, Tennessee. Parents: William PORTER Sr. and Gean UNKNOWN. He was married to Mary BOWEN in 1763 in Augusta Co, VA. (18) William and Mary (Bowen) Porter are known to have had thirteen children. However, her tombstone says "mother of nine sons and five daughters". It is probable that a son, whose name we do not have, died before his father and is therefore not named in the will.
