Isaac Bowman

Isaac Bowman, a Confederate artilleryman, married twice, and by his second wife, Miss Ellen Jones, had one son, Berkley Bowman of Berryville, the Clarke Courier said in his obituary of March 15, 1923. Two years earlier, reporting the death of his second wife, a daughter of Thomas Jones and Mary Janet Huyett Jones of Clarke County, the paper called him for years one of the leading business men of Berryville.
