In 1788 John Bowen made an entry in Russell County adjoining orator. During summer, 1789, Bowen died testate, devising the land to his widow and only daughter an infant. The widow Nancy married Thomas Ferguson and they sold to John Ward, who sold to Arthur Blankenship. The daughter (Louisa), of Bowen, married Reese Gillespie. Blankenship and Gillespie have sold to Isaac King. Answer of John Ward says John Bowen did have a right to 200 acres adjoining David Ward (John's father), Martha King and orator.
