Not much is known about Robert Bowling. According to census records he was born in Georgia between 1781-1790.[1]

Major Robert Bowling is recorded in the War of 1812, as leading Bowling's Detachment, Georgia Militia.[2][3] In a Roll of this company of volunteers it shows they first mustered on 24 Mar 1814 to the time of engagement of 26 Sep 1814.[4] Making him between the age of 24-33. As he held the rank of Major, it would seem more likely he was born in the 1781-1785 range.

Robert married Barbara Bassett about 1822, daughter of Thomas Bassett V.

Robert and Barbara had at least four children:

  1. Capt. Robert Leroy Bowling (1823-1887), m. Sarah Maria Chesebrough

  3. Thomas Berry Bowling (1832-1867), m. Sivil Solomon Hooks
  4. Simon W. Bowling (c. 1834- )
