Descendants of Rhodi Bowie

6. Frances⁵ Bowie (Rhodi⁴, John³, Abraham², John¹ Boye) was born 1782. She married Doyel.

Notes for Frances Bowie:
SOME RECORDS SPELL THE MANE AS FRANIS INDICATING MALE. HOWEVER, DUE TO
OTHER RECORDS I BELIEVE FRANCES TO BE CORRECT. MARRIED A MR. DOYEL
FIRST NAME NOT KNOWN. IN HIS BOOK "WHERE THE BRAMBLES BLOOM", G. HENRY BOWIE
CONFIRMS THIS SPELLING. SHE WAS BORN IN CHARLES COUNTY, MD. SHE MOVED WITH
HER BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO ABBEVILLE COUNTY, SC. AND LIVED ON PART OF THE
MICHAEL MCKEE LAND GRANT. HER HOME WAS ABOUT 2 MILES NORTH OF GILGAL CHURCH,
WHICH WAS STILL STANDING IN 1978. IT WAS OWNED AT THAT TIME BY S. H. FURMAN.
IT IS THOUGHT THAT HERS SONS RICHARD P. DOYEL AND BOWIE DOYEL MOVED TO MCCOOL,
MISSISSIPPI. HENRY BOWIE NOTES THAT HE FOUND A GRAVE STONE FOR RICHARD P.
DOYEL IN OLD BOWIE CHAPEL CEMETERY NEAR MCCOOL. HER RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION IS
NOT KNOWN, NOR THE FIRST NAME OF HER HUSBAND. TWO OF HER BROTHERS WERE
PRESBYTERIAN AS ATTESTED BY THE GRAVESTONE OF ONE BROTHER WHICH READS "A
CONSISTENT MEMBER OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, GREENVILLE CONGREGATION".
RECORDS OF GREENVILLE PRESBVYTERIAN CHURCH RECORDS THIS ABOUT RICHARD. P.
DOYEL: "ELIGIBLE TO OCCUPY SEAT 56". FRANCES WAS BELIEVED TO BE A MEMBER OF
THE SAME CHURCH AND WAS LIKELY BURIED IN THE CHURCH CEMETERY IN AN UNMARKED
GRAVE. THE NAME IS SPELLED DOYAL IN SOME RECORDS. HER HUSBANDS GRAVE SITE IS
ALSO UNKNOWN.

BORN IN CHARLES COUNTY, MD. AND WITH BROTHERS AND SISTERS MOVED

AND MARRIED LUCINDA ELIZABETH SIMMS, ALSO KNOWN AS LUCINDER. THEY HAD
A LARGE FAMILY AND MOVED TO MISSISSIPPI IN 1852, SETTLING AT MCCOOL.
EVERETTE BOWIE, FAMILY RESEARCHER, HAS A LETTER (A COPY) WRITTEN TO LUCINDER BY NARCISSA PRES LEY AND DATED AUGUST 23 1894. NARCISSA MAY HAVE BEEN A SISTER SINCE SHE ADDRESSSED THE LETTE R: DEAR SISTER LUCINDA. THIS IS VERY LIKELY THE CORRECT SPELLING OF HER NAME, BUT IT HAS BEE N SEEN IT BOTH WAYS.

HENRY BOWIE INDICATES HEZEKIAH DIED IN SOUTH CARO LINA BEFORE HE COULD SELL HIS PROPERTY THERE, AND IS BURIED IN OLD BOWIE BURIAL GROUND NEAR G ILGAL CHURCH.
