The name John Bowen did not appear again in the Lunenburg
or Mecklenburg Co records until 1787 when the will of Hicks
Bowen was mentioned a John Bowen who possibly was living in Georgia
at that time. We do not have enough information to determine if John Bowen
of these records might have been a son of William or Robert Bowen,
a brother who had moved into the area, the son of an unknown brother, or
even their father who had come to live with his sons in his old age.
