Can you verify the last name of Ursula? My mother had done a huge amount of genealogy of our families. She had us traced back to James Nowlin (d. c1816) and Ursula ??. We are decended thru their son Richard (b. c.1774, d. in Patrick Co., VA),who married Mary Burnett (b. c.1779, d. bef 1850) , their dau. Lucy Nolan (b. 1805/6, d. 15 Feb 1881 in Patrick Co., VA) who married Adam Turner, Jr (b. 27 Mar 1803, d. 21 Jan 1889 in Patrick Co., VA) , their dau. Mary Lou Turner (b. 20 May 1827, d. 6 Aug 1911) who married Samuel John Adkins (15 Feb 1817 in Franklin Co., VA, d. 9 Sep 1888). Their son Samuel John Adkins, Jr. was my ggrand father.
Do you have any other information about these Nowlins and Pattersons?

My Nowlins were living in Tennessee from before the Civil War. GGgrandfather was Stephen James Nowlin, GGrandfather James Stephen. Have a cousin who has traced out family back pretty far–they also started out as O’Nalin/Nawlan (all those different spellings). I am just curious if the Texas Nowlins ae related. All family of Stephen James except him went to Texas.
