Description :
This is a photo of Alexander "Alex" Bowling, born about 1852. He was the son of Isham Bowling and Mary "Polly" Garland. He married Lucinda McFadden in Laurel County, Kentucky (the daughter of Westerfield McFadden and Mary Williams). This photo was probably taken in the early 1900's in either Clay County or Laurel County, Kentucky. My great aunt Kathleen (Parsley) McFadden shared this photo copy with me in 2002.
My grandmother, Beulah (Parsley) Tuttle Caudle always said there was Native American (Cherokee Indian?) in her family on her Bowling side of the family. Alex looks like he has Native American in him in this photo. I still haven't found any document to prove it. Census records only says that Alex was white for his race. It could be just a coincidence that he just looked Native American at the age he was in this photo.
