Comments

It's difficult to get a foothold on a solution without a little more information. Can you say in what state, county and city Samuel was born, married and died?  Would you have a birth year, marriage year and death year?

I've Anderson Peacock Bowles bor 1877 near where you are looking for your Bowles.  I've not followed the name as my Sims married Bowles.  

This may be an avenue for you to follow.
