PASTORAL RECORDS of the Rev. ANDREW JACKSON BOWERS, D.D. an Annotated Index by

Rosemary Bowers Dodd and Kurt Andrew Dodd

SS

The Rev. Andrew Jackson Bowers was born 10-1-1860, Newberry, s .c., eighth of the eleven children of Jacob Stephen and Sarah Elizabeth Chapman Bowers . He graduated with First Honor from Newberry College and later received an M. A. from that institution. He graduated from the Lutheran Southern Theological Seminary, then located in Salem, Va . , in 1883 . Later that year he married Mary Lou Lzown of Salem.

Dr . Bowers' first pastorate was in Columbia, s.c., and his second in Floyd Co., Va. In 1888 he became Head of the Preparatory Department of Newberry College and for the next twenty-five years he was Professor of Ancient Languages at Newberry College. During those years he served various churches and denominations as supply pastor, and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Divinity by Erskine College (ARP). He died in Newberry 14 June 1930.

The following data are transcribed from his "Pocket Records". Although effort has been made to read the handwriting and faded ink, it will be appropriate for the researcher to consult the original records, now located at the Lineberger Library of the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary (Columbia, S.C. 29203). Also, for the student of parish activities in this time frame, there is additional information in the "Records" regarding number of communion services and communicants, salary , expenses, subjects of sermons and addresses, and contributions to missions.

This data are found in eight books (Pocket Records) . · Although all of the Virginia material is in one book, the South Carolina material is spread throughout all eight volumes , and the Georgia entries are located in six of the books.

VIRGINIA RECORDS

The Rev. Bowers served as pastor of two Virginia ministries. He accepted <1 call on December 22, 1886 , to the Floyd County Pastorate consisting of Zion Church, Hyltun Church, and Burke's Fork Church . 'Pastor Bowers resigned from the Floyd Pastorate effective October 1 , 1887, and left Floyd County on December 28. On March 3, 1888, he accepted a call as a supply pastor of the Lutheran Churches in Richmond . The Rev . Bowers resigned from the Richmond Churches on June 3, 1 888, but rema ined in Richmond at least through the end of June .

Introduction

...JOHN f'..JC>WLIN 1766-1855

THE SHOOTING CREEK NOWLINS Researching A Family History

Compiled By Mary Elizabeth Ferrell

/05

The research or the Nowlin ramily history, my mother's lineage , has taken Place to date primarily in the Counties or Franklin, Patrick, Floyd and Henry, Virginia. It has been an endeavor somewhat easier than research of the Ferrell branch because of the intactness of r e cords in those counties. One dirficulty encountered has been in the spelling of the name. I have found it spelled Nowland, Nowling, Nolin, No len, Nolan. Nowlan , and Nowlin. Differences in the spelling have occurred within the same family group and even within a single docume nt.

John Nowlin 1766-1855

John Nowlin purchased land about 1799 in the section of Franklin County where it is hilly and stony, except for the land along the creeks . From what I can figure out from land and deed records John h a d land only on Shooting Creek , a creek that winds its way thro ugh the Blueridge Mountains, Just on the edge or Franklin County and Floyd County. Ir one follows Shooting Creek south it is only a f e w miles until it f lows into Smith River end you are in Patrick County.

There are areas of bottom land in the "hollows" of Shooting Cree k. The re is one such area Just orr of Road 860 which may be the loc ati o n of the original home piace. I found the burial place of my f irst and s econd gre at grandmothers located in the small family cemetery located on the hill there. Apparently this land now belongs to Ferrum Co llege.

John Nowlin was on the 1787 Tex/Census of Franklin Count y. He i s rec orde d on the 1850 Census as age 80 but was proba bly born earlier , possibly 1766. He would have had to be age 21 to b e on the Ta x List <It is poss ibl e this is another John Nowl i n!). He married Mary "Polly" Thomas on 2 3 February 1 799 in Patrick County, Virg i nia. P oll y was the daughter of Charles and Judith Thomas, Sr. o f Patrick Cou n ty.

John, rrom all indications, made his living as a farmer and slave holder. The rec ords do not indicate h e had any o the r occup at ion. His Will <written 16 October 1848, r e corde d 3 March 185 5 in Fra n k li n County) and an inventory or his estat e showed he h a d l a nd , catt le, horses , she ep, hogs. farm impleme nts a nd at lea st e i g h t slaves. He a l s o h e ld s ix bonds on various pe opl e , three or the m o n his s ons.

Mary Thomas Nowlin 1784- 1873

It is s ometimes difricult to rind information a bout t he women of t h e family. Name s may appear on deeds , land transact i o ns and documents. In this case, Mary (or Polly a s Mary's we re known in t his period or ti me) was Probably age 15 when she married J ohn Nowli n. Th us her rather had to give the cons ent for the ma rriag e . It is this consent that provides the ide ntirication or h e r r a the r .

An anlaysis or Census information and ages or children provides inrormation that Mary was probably born in 1784. A record or the settlement of her estate 31 May 1873 indicates that she died in 1873 or possibly a year or two earlier. I have been unable to locate an exact date.

The Children of John and Mary Tho1D8S Nowlin

The 1810 Census or Franklin County records John Nowlin with one male 26-45 years or age, one female age 16-26, 1 male age 10-16, 3 Females less than 10 years or age and one male less than 10 yoars or age.

The 1820 Census lists 1 male age 45+, 1 female age 26-45, 1 male age 16-26, 1 female age 16-26, 1 male age 10- 16, 1 female age 10-16 and 2 males less than 10 years.

From an analysis or these Census, along with Census through 1880 o.f' Franklin, Floyd and Patrick Count ies, marriage records, wills, and other County records this list or childre n or John and Mary Thomas Nowlin has been compiled. No ramily records, such as Bible records, exist, to my knowledge.

Pleasant, born 1799 probably in December, sometimes known as "Rusty", died 5 Dec. 1880, le.f't a Will in Franklin County (did not name all his children), married 17 Sept. 1827 in Patrick County, Va . , Elizabeth Nowlin, daughter of Richard and Mary "Polly" Burnett Nowl in or Patrick County, Va . The relationship o.f' Richard Nowlin to John Nowlin is unknown at this time. Pleasant is my 2nd great grandfather.

Lucinda, born about 1800, marr ied Samuel Rakes, 18 Dec. 1815, lived in Patrick County, was a widow in 1860, died about 1865.

Unknown, born about 1802. Nothing else is known .

Judith, born about 1804, lived in Patrick County,

married Richard Harbour 9 August 1824, died sometimes in the 1850s .

Charles P .• born about 1806, married Nancy Adams 2 Dec. 1834, Patrick County, lived in Patrick County, had died by 1880.

Alice, born a bout 1808, was deceased by 1830.

Alexander, born about 1810, he was probably John Alexander named for his rather, married Mary Ann Turner, 6 Aug. 1832 in Patrick County. He lived in Patrick County until 1840s, was in Franklin County in 1850, died 27 March 1863. My grandfather's marriage in 1886 is recorded as taking place at "Alexander. Nolin's".

Wilson C., born about 1812, married Mary Ann Snead 1 Sept. 1840. lived in Franklin county, date or death unknown.

The above is an excerpt .f'rom what is to be a larger compilation o.f' THE SHOOTING CREEK NOWLINS. Research continues on this 1-amily. Emphasis will be focused on the search for the parents o.f' John Nowl in. Inquiries are welcomed.

SOURCES: PRIMARY OR SECONDARY?

How many times, as you ' ve done genealogical research, have you received family group sheets or pedigree charts with no sources listed? Or maybe there was a notation such as one I have seen: "family records ." That is as good as nothing.

When I receive a family group sheet without sources , I know I can use it only as a guide to further research. I cannot trust one single thing on that sheet . Every entry on a family group sheet whould have a source listed for it -- with enough information that I could locate that source at any time. This process of listing a source for every entry is called documentation.

Documentation generally consists of one primary source for birth , one primary source for marriage and one primary source for death for each ancestor , great aunt and great uncle . Each ancestor is identified by his name, and by his birth , marr­iage and death dates and pl aces. No one else in all history will have exactly the same identifying information .

The preferred type of documentation is with primary sources when possible . Sometimes several secondary sources can replace one primary source . It is , there­fore, very important to know whether a source is primary or secondary .

A primary source is one that was recorded at or near the time the event occurr­ed by a witness of the event. A secondary source is one that was recorded or re­membered sometime after the event, often secondhand. A primary source is always preferred and believed over a secondary source .

For example, I know of a situation where the parish records show Joe born in 1832. Family members say he was born in 1829 because Joe ' s brother , born in 1830 called him his "big brother" many years later. Well, I call my 6 ' 3" tall, 2JO lb brother "my bi g brother" too , even though he is 12 years younger than I am . Which of these 2 sources would you give the most credence to? The family legend or the parish record? I hope you would believe the parish record, for even though parish recorders occasionally made mistakes , they usually recorded the information near the time of the event and got the information from those critically interested in the event.

Once primary sources have been located for each person on the researcher ' s charts, these sources should be listed on the forms with enough information that others can find the same source easily.

An example of such documentation is taken from the family group sheet of Larkin Dial and his wife Elizabeth. Look at the entry for the sixth child on the family group sheet. (sheet not copied).

The information on Sarah has been carefully footnoted . Under the heading "Sources of information " on this sheet are: J . 1860 census ; 4. Marriage certifi­cate in possession of Helen VanderBeek ; 5. Junius Free Wells Collection in posses-sion of Helen VanderBeek Which of these sources are primary? Which secondary?

Source #4, the marriage certificate , is a primary source because the marriage was recorded at the St Clair Co. courthouse very near the day the wedding took place, and the data came from Sarah and Andrew , the 2 principle involved. The other 2 sources may be more or less primary, so we assume they are secondary .

If , when the census taker came around in 1860, Sarah gave the information her­self, and if she chose to tell the t:ruth about her age, the census age would be primary but since we can't know who provided the information or lf she was telling the truth, the census as a source for age must be considered secondary . Though the census entry is secondary for the year of Sarah 's birth , it is primary for the fact that in 1860 Sarah lived in Washington Co, Ill, with Andrew and Roland Free.

It must be assumed that the Junius Free Wells Collection is secondary as all histories and collections are. But we can write to the person who has the collec­tion and find out whether this source is to be believed or not. When we discover that this information came from letters written by Sarah's son to Junius Free
