November 14, 2012. Comment - John Bowden: I found the old family bible and copied the attached pages. It also appears that John and Emma had a 3rd child named John Gillon born March 31, 1863. I can't find anything on ancestry about John Gillon.

Comment - Melinda Lukei: Timothy is buried in front of the wine processing plant at Martin's Farm on the Knotts Island. I dug up his tombstone. Arilla Bowden d/o Linwood Bowden remembered where it had been and went to Knotts Island with me to find it. It was underground and she and I pulled it up. I have been told that it is underground again. It's about 50 yards to the right of the middle of the shed they use for mashing the grapes.
