| From: David Bowden Subject: A Duplin County Family Geneology Hello, I came across you web site and saw that you might be interested in the following information. It is the partial geneology of my family the Bowdens. My ancestors Samuel, John, Nicholas, Baker, Mary Bowden children of Nicholas (Bourden)(Bowden)came down out of Virginia, Isle of Wight Co. into Duplin county approx around 1763 and settled in the area known as Bowdens. Nicholas and Prudence are mentioned in: The Marriages of Isle of Wight on page 5 "BOURDEN, Nicholas and Mrs. Prudence Wrenn, relict of John Wrenn. 1738. O.B. 1746-52, p. 229. W. B. 4, p. 250" I was wondering if you had any info on this family as to origin into the United States or any other information relative to it. Apprently one of my ancestors John Baker Bowden married a Barbara Herring. I have very limited knowledge of the Bowden/ Herring connections and I was hoping that you could help me as to Bowden family linage connection to the Herrings. I have very slim details as to the Herrings that my family is related to The concrete information that I have on my family is that my gggrandfather John Baker Bowden born in 7/21/1826 who was a son of Nicholas Bowden and Elizabeth Southerland born c 1800 married in 6/27/1854 a Barbara Herring born.c 1837. John Baker was reported in N.C. taxpayers book being of Wayne County in 1860 Indian Springs district. John Baker and Barbara had seven children; Winney A, Sarah M, Betsie J, Polly, John N, Jessie B, Benjamin N.. Benjamin Nicholas Bowden born 1-12-1869 died 7/24/1933 was my ggrandfather. Benjamin Nicholas Bowdens son Daniel Bowden Sr. of Brogden township N.C. born in MT.Olive N.C.was my Grandfather. Daniel Elwood Bowden Jr. of Mount Olive is my father John Baker Bowden later married a Mary Jones of Duplin county in 5/11/1876 I am extremely interested in learning more as to my family heritage in Duplin county. I visit there on my way back from the beach going through the Bowdens area checking out cemetries there in the hopes of finding family connections.
