I am in possession of a book "The Bowies and Their Kindred" which was published by Walter Worthington Bowie in 1899. I have not done research myself, but will gladly pass on information I can obtain from this book.
In answer to the question about Walter Russell Bowie, I find and directly quote the book:
Walter Bowie, Jr., (Walter Bowie, Sr. James Bowie, Jr. John Bowie, emigrant.) youngest son of Walter Bowie, Sr., and his second wife, Mary S. (Todd) Bowie, was born in Essex County, Virginia, 1828. While a student at the University of Virginia he met Miss Gillie A. Jones, of Charlottesville; married her November 3, 1853, and settled on his farm in Westmoreland County, Virginia, where he resided until April, 1861, when he entered the Confederate Army and served as captain of infantry in the Fortieth Regiment, Virginia Volunteers. At the battle of Gettysburg he was severely wounded and rendered unfit for active service. Partially recovering from his injury he reported for service, but was assigned to light duty and sent on a tour of inspection through Georgia and South Carolina. At the close of the war he returned to his hime in Westmoreland.
