Note: it is interesting that only one church record is signed by a witness.  Apparently it was not the custom at that time.  The witness to the marriage of William Bowles to Mary Harborne in 1756 was a Richard Mills.  In 1756, the Rev'd. Richard Mills was a Church of Ireland Minister somewhere, possibly in county Carlow as a son of his was born in co. Carlow in 1773.  He graduated from Trinity College in Dublin in 1750 and was the rector of Annaclone, co. Down from 1776 to 1804.  I'm not sure yet where he was between 1750 and 1776 but he showed up at William Bowles marriage as a witness.  If this is some indication of a connection between Richard Mills and the Bowles family, this may be a line to follow up to find the marriage of my direct ancestor, John Bowles, to an Ann Mills in 1799.  Several Bowles families also appear at Newry, co. Down in about 1819 near where Rev'd. Richard Mills held land.  In 1829, John Bowles of Drumjavlin and Richard Mills Jr. of Clare both held land in co. Down under the same landlord, the Earl of Moira.  This could be a coincidence or a connection between the Carlow Bowles and the co. Down Bowles.
