Jim Bowman, 29 January 1997. About 1795, the Bowmans moved from
Richmond or its vicinity to a farm on the Shingletree Branch of
Mountain Creek, Rutherford County, North Carolina. Gives a William
Bowman, 1794-after 1816, in lieu of Betsey.
Jim Bowman, jlbowman@bellsouth.net, 30 November 2001. Has no
evidence that William Bowman was actually Charles William Bowman.

6 Oct 1851, Lumpkin County, Georgia, Mary (X) Bowman of said County, age
91, declares she is the widow of William Bowman, a private in the
Revolutionary War, who volunteered about the middle of 1778 in Virgina
and served eighteen months. The greater part of his services were
rendered in Georgia, in which state he drew a land bounty which he sold
after they immigrated to North Carolina some twelve or fifteen years
after the war.
Early in 1780, he volunteered in the Militia and served not less than
eight months, as he was absent two or three months several times.
