Information on Benjamin Bowles

From "The History of the Bowles Family", 1907:


  • BENJAMIN BOWLES, great-grandson of John 3d, and son of Benjamin, married Miss Harris. He was a Baptist preacher who was known and respected in all the James River counties. He was a very wealthy man and owned land in Goochland, Hanover and Henrico counties. On Feb. 1, 1785, there is recorded a deed: "Benj. Bowles, of Richmond City, deed from Geo. Harlow and wife to 190 acres adjoining David Bowles' land." In 1799 he owned 634 acres in Henrico county and paid taxes on 5 blacks over 16 years, 3 blacks over 12 years, and 5 mules. In 1802 his personal tax was on 5 blacks over 16 years, 6 horses and 2 chariots. An entry for taxes on 634 acres appears in 1805. His will is dated September 29, 1812, and proved Oct. 2, 1815, and names children Eliza Carter Bowles, John Ludwell Bowles, Susannah Miller Bowles, Judah Ann Harris Bowles and Mary Holman Webber. Son-in-law Joseph Webber with John Winn and Reuben Ford named as executors.
