Biography

We seek confirmation that Sarah/Sally" who was wife of John Bowling was daughter of Edward Sizemore and Louanna Bowling.

Sarah was born in 1800. She is the daughter of Edward Sizemore and Louanna Bowling. [1]

She died after the 1850 census in Clay Co., Kentucky.[2] A previous version of this profile claimed, without source, that she died in 1853.

Possible children include:

  • William Bowling, b about 1827; m 17 Nov 1856 Tamari's White in Mercer, West Virginia.[3] His marriage record identifies him as son of John Bowling and Sallie.
  • Charles Boling, b abt 1832 Patrick, Virginia; m 30 Jun 1857 in Mercer, WV, Lucy M. Brammer.[4] His marriage records names his parents as John Boling and Sarah; and his birth place as Mercer, VA

Research Notes

A previous version of this profile included a source for a son John Bowling, born in 1858,[5] but she would have been too old to have had a child at that time.

Sizemore-1186 and Sizemore-1121 appear to represent the same person because: While the dates are different, these two profiles represent the wife of John Bowling.

Sizemore-1121 and Bowling-1316 appear to represent the same person because: Her father is Edward Sizemore and her mother is Louanna Bowling. She married John Jack Bowling. Who was a relative of her mother.

I'm not so sure, Marlena. We need more sources. There are two sources on this page. The 1850 census definitely has a Sally, b abt 1795, most likely wife of John Bowling, including children Mary, James, Richard and Sally (no John; and only two of those names overlap with the children currently linked here).

But the birth record listed at the bottom of this profile is for a John Bowling born in 1858-- far too young to be son of THIS Sally Bowling. That birth record also claims his father was a James Bowling.

The other profile that you've proposed a merge with includes no sources at all.

This is an opportunity to confirm by finding reliable sources that Sarah/Sally Sizemore, daughter of Edward, married John Bowling; put another way: or confirm the maiden name / parents of the wife of John Bowling.

I have a few records I am finding as well as trees with her and her husband John on. Her maiden name is not listed, the only document I can find is a Sarah Henson. Which looks to be a second wife of John. I'll dig deeper on ancestry after I renew it.

Thanks, Marlena. Please know that other online trees are unreliable unless they cite reliable sources.

I've researched three of his children, trying to find identification of their parents; no luck yet.

Julianne, I did an ancestry test recently. I matched as a relative to Sarahs sisters family (Catherine) The lines match to our closest ancestor being Edward Sizemore.

I will look for more text confirmation. But I do believe in that proof as well.

Her kit is above mine here. I am also Sizemore on another side of my family BUT the generations would not be so close for us to share so much DNA.

Marlena, I don't see Sarah having a sister Catherine here. Please clarify.
