My grandfather Jesse Bowles married Hannah Perkins and to them were born ten children as follows: David, Elizabeth, Stephens, Sally, Jesse, (my father), Hughes, Anderson, Robert, Joseph, and Mourning. All of my father's brothers and sisters died in Bourbon Co., Kentucky, excepting Joseph and Hughes. Uncle Joseph was killed and scalped by the Indians Massacre at the battle of River Raisin after the surrender of the Kentucky troops by General Winchester to Colonel Proctor of the British forces in 1813. Uncle Hughes and family moved to Illinois from Bourbon Co., Kentucky, in 1830 and settled in De Witt Co. on Salt River. My father Jesse Bowles was born near Richmond, Virginia, in 1782. My mother's maiden name was Chloe Parker and was born near Baltimore, Maryland in 1781. She had two brothers, Captain Jack and Archibald Parker, who served in the War of 1812. The Parkers also settled in Bourbon Co., Kentucky, at an early date.
