James Bowler

Not the same as James Boulware

http://www.carolshouse.com/familyhistory/boler/ states:

"Many Boulware family members claim descendancy from the prominent Thomas Bowler, owner's of Bowler's Wharf, through his proven son James. But that lineage appears to be in error. Bowler's Wharf was inherited by Thomas Bowler's daughter Anne, who married Richard Cocke, indicating his son probably died without heirs.”

“TABITEA, half sister of John Edlow,’ and executrix of their mother, married shortly after 1670 Col. Thomas Bowler, of Rappahannock, and was apparently his second wife. (General Court Records , Calendar Virginia State Papers, I., p. 4.) Thomas Bowler first appears as a headright (four adventures) in a patent to Col. George Reade, of York, 24 February, 1658, and in his own name had a grant of five hundred and four acres in Rappahannock county, 28 September, 1674. (Land Ofice Records, VI., p. 531.) In 1670 he was commissioned a member of the Council. (QUARTEaLY, III., p. 65.) His will, proved in Rappahannock 2 July, 1679, mentions friends Col. Nicholas Spencer and Capt. Thomas Gouldman; son, James Bowler; daughter, Elizabeth Bowler; and “child”, Anne Bowler; wife, Tabitha, executrix. (Old Rappahannock Records.)
