TRAyERs DANIEL, JR.
Richmond
We gave the arms OF Sir Walter Raleigh
on September 3, 1906. and IL the Daniel
family can connect with him they are
entitled to those; but we can ind no
arms nscribed to the Daniel family alone
In any work obtained. 1t may be possi-
BILE they can be traced to Str Peter Daniel
OF London. and II so we will print them.
We gave II, our last issue. January 7th,
the Trayers arms. and as there shown
would entitle the Daniels to a part or
their arms. though the connection was
made IN Virginia and not In England
Cowles.
Since our reply to Mrs. W. e. d. In
Issue OF December II. 1905. the follow
Ing interesting data concerning the fam
lily has been received through Mr.. Eu-
gene Cowles, of Shelbyville. KY, who is
gathering up Cowles records for the for
nation OF a complete family history
and desires all descendants In Virginia
and North Carolina to address him at
,Shelbyville. KY.
The following is taken from the chart
as SO far prepared:
E John Cowles is said to have descended
from Richard Cowles who came into
bill OF sale,S dated at Charles City coun-
ty, Va, June 0. 1914. The lands lay on
James River, in Westover Parish near
Harrison's Landing. and afterwards came
into possession of Edmund Cowles in
1866. who was probably a son.
Edmund and Philip Charles Cowles
were also granted 272 acres of land on
the north side of the James River.

for the transportation of six persons
into the colony.

Parish. August 10, 1888.
There is also n family legend, that
John Cowles was one OF three brother.
Thomas. John and Henry, who came, 1t ia
said, from England about lao, or earlier.
Thomas and Obedience, his wife, landed
at Lobbs. James City county, Va, and
bought Lobbs and Cowlesville. The old
homestead at Cowlesville remains to
this day in the Cowles family. The
name Is derived from cowle or pro-
tecting hood or mask worn at the bat-
tie Of Hastings, and is pronounced
"k-o-l-z"
The family came from Gloucester
county, England where many Wills of
the Cowless ancestors are still to be
found recorded ms early as 1868.
The first John cowles had q son,
Thomas, who had five sons and ono
daughter Elizabeth. The sons were;
