About James Bowie, (Free Man of Color)

Note: James' patrilineal descendants have been confirmed to be of the E-FTA557 subclade.
This is notable as there are Bowie's belonging to the E-FTD15985 subclade (with a mrca, c. 1330AD)
This marks James as a very likely connection to a Bowie family.
Given other circumstantial evidence, it is highly likely James Bowie is very closely related to the Louisiana Bowies
