She has done extensive research on the Hezekiah Hughes Family and many of the census records I have reviewed were because of her research.
Rebecca and Henry lived with her parents in the big log house until both parents died. In later years, they built a frame house on the Limestone Bluff closer to the spring. They farmed the large tract of land which was given to her by her father, and also operated a gristmill and sawmill on the creek nearby. They raised cattle and horses for sale and sheep for wool, and to sell. During the civil War, the sheep were driven under a very large bluff which later became known as the "sheep rock".
Henry Bowman enlisted during the Civil War in Co., D, 6th TN Volunteer Mounted Infantry on Oct. 24, 1864, under the command of Capt. Daniel McWilliams. He was discharged June, 1865. He died Jan.15, 1915, at the age of 85, as the result of a fall on ice on the large limestone rock covering the lawn in front of his home.
