Rees Tate BOWEN [Parents] was born 1737 in Augusta Co., VA. He died 7 Oct 1780 in Kings Mountain, NC. Rees married Margaret Levisa SMITH on 1756 in Augusta Co., VA.
Rees/Reece Bowen was one of the first settlers of Tazewell Co., VA, locating at Maiden Springs about 1772, where he owned a large estate, which is still in the possession of his descendants, having been owned by a Reece Bowen for six generations.
To protect their family from attacks by Indians, Mr. Bowen built a strong stockade around his house, but later a much larger and stronger fort was erected near by, which became the historical Maiden Spring Fort which was also to protect neighboring families.
He was in the Battle of Point Pleasant and went on the relief of the Kentucky stations in 1778. Rees/Reece was a lieutenant under his brother. Because his brother, William, was ill, Rees/Reece took command under Major William Edmunson and Colonel William Campbell. Rees was lieutenant of Colonel Campbell's regiment of riflemen of Virginia Militia when killed at the Battle of Kings Mountain.
