Based upon my extensive research, I have determined that Bytha was the daughter of John Bowlin and Catharine Cook. Some of the information provided on her death certificate and obituary are incorrect.

Bytha was born in Russell County, Kentucky during November 1858. Following is evidence to support this:

- She can be found in the 1860 census living in Jamestown, Russell County, Kentucky on 10 Jul 1860 with her parents and twin brother (Michael "Mike" Bowlin - who in the 1900 census indicates he was born in November 1858). Tabitha "Bowlen" is listed as 1 years old.

- She can be found in the 1870 census living in Boston, Whitley County, Kentucky on 18 Aug 1870 with her parents and siblings. Tabitha "Bolin" is listed as 11 years old.

- She can be found in the 1880 census living in Careys, Cumberland County, Kentucky on 9 Jun 1880 with her parents, siblings and eldest daughter (who is listed as Polly A. Miller, G. daughter of John Bowlin, age 8 months, and born in September). Tabitha "Bouldin" is listed as 21 years old.

- She can be found in the 1900 census living in Campbell County, Tennessee (thus comes from Tennessee prior to living in Harlan at the time of her death, but not born in Tennessee) on 8 Jun 1900 with her second husband Richard Nunn, his son John, as well as two of her three children. Tabitha Nunn is listed (incorrectly) as being born in Sep 1864. Her birthplace is incorrectly listed as Tennessee.

- She can be found in the 1910 census living in Campbell County, Tennessee on 29 Apr 1910 with her second husband Richard Nunn and his son John. Abitha Nun is listed (incorrectly) as being born in 1865. Her birthplace is correctly listed as Kentucky.

- She can be found in the 1920 census living in Campbell County, Tennessee on 19 Jan 1920 with her second husband Richard Nunn and his son John. Abitha Nunn is listed (incorrectly) as being born in 1861. Her birthplace is correctly listed as Kentucky.

- She can be found in the 1930 census living in Shields, Harlan County, Kentucky on 10 Apr 1930 as widowed and living with her daughter Lizzie and her Delk family. Abitha Nunn is listed (incorrectly) as being born in 1856. Her birthplace is also incorrectly listed as Tennessee.
- She cannot be found in the 1940 census.

Bytha first married James "Jim" Rufus Miller on 2 Jan 1879 in Campbell County, Tennessee. Bytha and Jim had 3 children as follows: Julia "Polly" Ann Miller Fox Craig, Lizzie "Liz" Miller Delk York Davis, and John William Miller.

Bytha and Jim later divorced and Bytha married Richard "Dick" D. Nunn on 28 Mar 1896 in Campbell County, Tennessee. Bytha and Richard did not have any children together, but Richard had one child (John R. Nunn) from a previous marriage.

Funeral Services were handled by Cawood and Cunningham of Harlan, Kentucky.

This is my step great great grandmother.
