Terry- We have corresponded before.I am interested in this as some descendants of Wm & Clarissa stated they are kin to my Bowlings of Fayette Co TN (George W. Bowling b. 1818 Madison Co, MS Terr. now AL, m. 1837 Lawrence Co AL to Elizabeth C. Walton, d. 1888 Marshall Co MS).No one has yet proved a relationship.
This latest correspondence indicates Wm may NOT have died in Itawamba Co MS as "Family legend has it" (according to History of Fayette Co TN 1986).WHY did Clarissa move her family to between Williston & Moscow TN???
9 children "all born MS"
Children named - "bringing younger children with her": John b. 1849, Wm (1852-1932), George, Charles b. 1859, & Jacob G. (Jake) b. 1865.
Older children: Elizabeth b. 1838, Druscilla b. 1841, Amanda b. 1843, Manning (1845-1897). Older children "all married and made their homes in MS"
There is a complete article, but thought this might help you.
Perhaps Wm (b. 1812) & Clarissa Autry (b. 1824) Bowling divorced in MS.Have you tried that possibility?
