Lily McIlhaney Bowen is a Patriot of both the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution."The Scotch- Irish in America" First Congress 1889 Held at Columbia, TN, May 8 - 11, 1889 Robert Clarke & Co. Publishers >From an address by Rev. D. C. Kelley, D.D. "Scotch-Irish of Tennessee" From Kegley's "Virginia Frontier", p. 366-- "From different accounts of the family we learn that Moses Bowen and Rebecca Reese, the parents of John Bowen, came from Wales, and that John married Lily McIlhaney and lived for a while in Maryland before coming to Virginia. The earliest record of John Bowen in Augusta Co. is a Bond to Col. Patton dated 15th April 1748. This was for land in the upper James River surveyed in 1747--the family first settled in a tract known as the "Buckeye Bottom"---below present "Clifton Forge." As the Farther Southwest was opened for settlement in 1779, the Bowens generally migrated to the Holston and Clinch river valleys. Lily Bowen purchased from Patton's Executors 800 acres lying along the Great Road on the middle Fork of Holston, and Rees Bowen, after living on Roanoke a while settled at the Maiden Spring on the Clinch. It is said the first missionaries to the Holston settlement held services in Mrs. Lily Bowen's ball room." Harman in his "Annals of Tazewell County, Virginia" p. 341, says: "The Bowens of Tazewell County trace their ancestry to Moses and Rebecca (Reese) Bowen, hiw wife, who immigrated to this country with a large company from Wales about 1698, and settled in Massachusetts, from whence they later removed to Montgomery County, PA, where they spent the remainder of their days. A branch of this family came south at an early day, settling first in Deleware, then in Western Maryland and Northern Virginia." Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Volume III, page 63 WILL BOOKS Page 37.--20th May, 1761. Lilley Bowen's bond (with John and Wm. Mathews) as administratrix of Moses Bowen. Lilly lists 8 of her children in her will. John, Nancy, and Moses preceded her in death. I'm not entirely sure that Rebecca, Jane, and Mary were her children. There was a Rebecca Roberts who was a mulatto slave, possibly Moses' daughter.	MCILHANEY, Lilly (I3138)
5373	or born in Wales. "Among the early Quaker settlers in Pennsylvania was the child of Moses Bowen and Rebecca Reese--John Bowen. He was born in 1705. John became a wealthy planter of Lancaster Co., Pa., and as was the custom of the times at harvest, gathered the lads and lassies of the surrounding countryside to his harvesting. One of these, Lily McIlhaney, by grace and beauty, so attracted the old bachelor's heart that he bowed at the shrine of matrimony." (Margaret Campbell Pilcher: HISTORICAL SKETCHES) "John Bowen, a wealthy planter of Lancaster, Pa., as was the custom of the times, at harvest gathered the lads and lassies of the surrounding country to his harvesting. One of these, Lilly McIlhaney, by her grace and beauty, so attracted the old bachelor's heart that he bowed at the shrine of Matrimony. From this marriage came Capt. William Bowen, the Indian fighter, and the more celebrated Reese Bowen, who was killed at the Battle of King's Mountain. Captain William was one of the early settlers of Sumner County; the father of John H. Bowen, lawyer, and idol of his county of Sumner, and of whom the venerable Judge Thomas Barry says he was the best and most loved man he ever knew. Such was his reputation for probity, that the juries gave him credence when he differed with the court on a point of law; he was elected to Congress before he was of age to take his seat. His sister married David Campbell, a son of Col. David Campbell, and brother of General John Campbell, of the War of 1812. This David Campbell and Catherine Bowen were the father and mother of Governor William B. Campbell, of our good State of Tennessee." John Bowen and Lily were leaders in the development of southwest Virginia and the frontier where there was continuous conflict between the settlers, the French and the Indians. Then came the Revolutionary War when their sons and sons-in-law, with one exception, were leaders in their services with the Continental line and the Virginia Militia. Rebecca Bowen Whitley's son, Moses, disagreed with his mother's family. He had the courage to fight for his convictions and was an officer in the British Army. >From an address by Rev. D. C.

Trimble) "James Buchanan was a Justice of the Augusta County Court in 1757, and on November 14, 1757, he bought 415 acres crossing Hays Creek on the Borden patent line from the executors of Benjamin Borden for 10 pounds. His will was made on June 9,1761, and probated March 19, 1765." James Buchanan Sr. was a merchant living in the Walker's Creek section of Augusta Co., and was a cousin of Col.
