Thanks Carla for all the information about Obediah.No there was no children with John when he came to USA.He was Indentured.Obediah Vowell is listed on the 1790 census, I would have to look it up but it was either Maryland or Virginia.Only names were there on the US Federal Census. Those Federal Census were different from the State Censuses.
If Obediah was born 1768 he would be 22 in 1790.It is family lore that Jacob Vowell was buried at sea, my dad told me.I have no record to prove it. Dad said two brothers came on the same ship, one was Indentured and one was free and he died at sea. Dad said he was going to Georgia where an uncle lived.
Ship records of Shordas list a Jacob Vowell was to claim a lot in Georgia in 1773 and asked where is Jacob.
I was told by another researcher that Obediah was the son of Jacob Vowell.I do not know where she got it.But it seems to fit since Jacob died.
Can someone from the Obediah line do the DNA testing on the VOYLES male Y Chronosome testing?
