Notes 
Individual:

Ashley Alvis witnesssed the marriage of Stephen Nowlin and Anny Witt, 31 Oct 1789 in Goochland Co VA.

There was a Nowlin family in Goochland Co VA from the 1600s. She probably fits in this family. Genforum has: I am trying to prove an account book written by Nicholas Heinrich CRIST in 1738 is true. He states that he met Sir John Henry NOWLIN and his wife Anna Elizabeth TILLMAN when he came to the Colonies in 1738 and that he married their daughter Anna Catherine NOWLIN. He also states that John Henry NOWLIN and family died in April 1749 while floating down the river to visit his sick brother.
The following timeline will show some of the NOLAN, NOLAND, NOWLAND, NOLLAND etc that were in the Patterson Creek northern Virginia area at that time. Do you have any connection to any of them or to John Henry NOWLIN?
· 1723 Philip Noland lived on Broad run of the Potomac River.
· 29 July 1725 Phillip NowlandâÇîBranches of Broad Run on Potomac River.
· 8 Nov 1728 Phillip NowlandâÇîon Broad Run of Potomac River.
· 9 Feb 1729 Phillip NolandâÇîIvy Branch Potomac River.
· 25 Dec 1738 Nicholas H. Crist & brothers shared Christmas feast with Sir John Henry Nowlin & wife Ana Elizabeth Tillman Nowlin.
· 20 July 1739 Nicholas Noland helped survey on Accoquan.
· 25 Jan 1739 Nicholas H. Crist and Anna Catherine Nowlin married by Rev. Henrie Dreher in the little Lutheran Church in the Colony on the Monongahela River.
· 31 Dec 1742 Orange Co. Road Petition, signers, Nicholas Crist, Michael Crist, Henry Dowland, John Collins, John Fritch, inhabitants of the South Branch.
· 10 Feb 1749 Andrew NolandâÇîland on South Fork of Patterson Creek.
· 1749 Stephen NolandâÇôs land on North river. Sherando surveyed.
· 14 April 1749 John Henry Nowlin, wife, 2 sons and daughter drowned. They built a homemade raft and went down the river to visit JohnâÇôs brother who was ill. They were all buried on their land.
· Stephen NolandâÇîland on Sherando River.
· 22 Dec 1749 Nicholas H. Crist and wife, Ana Catherine, moved onto Sir John Henry NowlinâÇôs place.
· 1750 Andrew Noland purchased land on the South Fork of Patterson Creek.
· 10 Sept 1750 Andrew NollandâÇîland on Patterson Creek.
There was also 3 NOWLIN brothers that came from Ireland. James settled in Goochland Co VA and I have no information where John and William went.

Or another genforum posting: My NOWLIN line begins with the earliest ancestor I have data for, and goes forward to my daughter. Generations 1 through 12 were extracted from "The Nowlin Newsletter" and the LDS LIbrary's Ancestral File.

I have no dates for Stephen and John, and I don't know yet which was James' first wife.

This is probably close to our family: The History of Carlow County, Ireland,
by John Ryan: âÇúThe O'Nuallains were princes of the Foharta, now the Barony of Forth in the County Carlow, Ireland. In pre-Norman days their chiefs held high office under the Kings of Leinster. In Irish, the name O'Nuallain means descendant of Nuallan, the word Nuallan means a shout or cry. The name was anglicised O'Nowlan, Nowlan, and Nolan. Tho this day, Nolan is among the forty most numerous names in Ireland.âÇù
Ryan also states further in History of Carlow County Ireland, by John Ryan: âÇúAfter the rebellion of 1641-1662 had been suppressed (in which the Nowlans took sides with the Catholic party), the Nowlans lost a gread deal of their property which was included in the grant made to James Butler, Earl of Ormonde, Lt. General of the Protestant Forces. Due to the Irish Rebellion of 1641, most of the land belonging to the Nowlan family in Northern Ireand wsa seized by James Butler, the lieutenant general of the Protestant Forces. The family took this complaint to court but was rejected because one of the sons had participated in the revolution. Around 1700, at least 3 (possibly 5) of the Nowlan brothers came from Ireland to America.âÇù
The Castle of Ballinrobe, in Northern Ireland, belonged to the Nowlan family. Perhaps the Barony of Forth.
History found in The Nowlin- Stone Genealogy by James Edmund Nowlin.
"HISTORY OF VIRGINIA" From the DAR office, Washington, DC, page 404: âÇúJames Nowlan who was a native of Ireland, who was a zealous communicant of the Catholic Church and who lost his material possessions in Ireland through his participation in one of the numerous religious wars in that volatile island. In order to defray the expenses of his passage to America, he indentured himself for a prescribed period to the captain of the vessel which brought him to Virginia about the year 1700. In this colony, he was reindentured to a planter named Bryan Ward, of Pittsylvania Co. In the course of time, this sterling ancestor changed the spelling of his surname from the original Nowlan to the present form of Nowlin. He married Catherine, a daughter of Bryan Ward, above mentioned, and they became the parents of several children, one of whom, James II in turn grew to manhood, married and reared children, including a son to whom was given the name of Abraham. This Abraham Nowlin married Mildred Watkins, and their son, Captain Bryan Watkins Nowlin, the eldest in a family of eight children, maried Mary Spencer, the children of this union being as here designated: Virginia C. (Mrs. John P. Hughes), Marie E. (who became the wife of Captain S. H. Overton), John H., Julia, (died in infancy), Bryan Ward (died in infancy, and William C. (married to Virginia Watkins.âÇù
