MO Pioneers
NOWLIN, James Nowlin and his wife, MARTHA COLLINS, were natives of Scotland.
They came to America prior to the Revolution and brought all their household and kitchen furniture with them.
They settled first in the eastern part of VA., but afterward removed to Pittsylvania Co. Their only son, Bryan W. Nowlin, was a captain in the American army during the revolution.
He married LUCY WAIDE, of VA., and they had 15 children, thirteen of whom lived to be grown, and 12 of them married.
The eldest son, Peyton, married LUCY TOWNSEND, and settled first in KY., from whence he removed to Saline Co., MO., previous to 1820, and raised a large family of children.
Richard Nowlin, brother of Peyton, married CELIE SHELTON, and settled first in KY, and afterward in Saline Co., MO.
Samuel Nowlin married FANNIE PAUL, of VA., by whom he had Joseph and David. His first wife died, and he was married the 2nd time to ELIZABETH EVERSON, by whom he had 2 daughters, both of whom are living in VA.
Joseph Nowlin lived and died in Lynchburg, VA.
David studied law at the U. of VA. In 1835 he married ELIZABETH BERGER, of VA., and the following year he came to MO and settled in Montgomery Co., where he practiced his profession, and was elected to several official positions in the county, which he filled with credit to himself and his constituents. He was also a Baptist preacher, and possessed more than ordinary powers as a pulpit orator.
His son, Samuel S. Nowlin, is an attorney, and lives at Montgomery City. He has served his country as circuit clerk, and made one of the best officers the county ever had. He possesses a large influence, and his prospects for future political advancement are good

It is said the name was spelled Brien in Ireland. Bryan was a builder by trade. Had 15 sons and daughters. "The Nowlin-Stone Genealogy" written by James Edmund Nowlin. He was a man of rare virtue and uncommon merit and a doting father and husband, which facts are substantiated by the testimony of many warm friends and kindred. He was scrupulously honest, could have no companionship with iniquity. He had a generous and confiding disposition and was responsive to the demands of humanity. Many years have elapsed since his spirit returned to the Father in his early dotage, yet he has left the impress of his work upon the history of his generation, and to his family a rich legacy of spotless reputation. His line of business was principally mechanical. He was a builder, which mechanical nature, inherited from James Nowlan of Ireland, the founder of the name in Virginia is found in many of Bryan Ward's children down to the eighth generation. Bryan Ward Nowlin is our great American Abrahamic Father of the Southern family line, whose sons and daughters have spread out largely in the south and west, and in his numerous posterity the chain has been unbroken and traced though ages linking back to primeval days with their history. Was a Captain in the Illinois Campaign under Captain Bowman; furnished supplies in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, during the Revolutionary War.
