Around 1717, Bowles began construction of a simple single story
cypress-post-in-ground clapboard frame house. In 1718, he
married Jane Lowe who died shortly after delivering a child,
Jane Lowe Bowles in 1720. In the early 1720s, Bowles married
Rebecca Addison, daughter of the politically prominent Thomas
Addison, and the very wealthy Elizabeth Tasker Addison. The
small frame house underwent considerable construction with the
addition of a new room, and ambitious remodeling of the existing
structure. James and Rebecca had two daughters, Mary and
Eleanor.
During the 1720s, Bowles constructed numerous outbuildings to
accommodate a thriving plantation including a barn, dairy and
meat house, an accounting house, and kitchen. He also
established a reputation for being a successful planter. It
appears that Bowles was growing tobacco, wheat and corn at this
time, and owned 120 cattle, 114 sheep and other livestock, farm
implements, 40 slaves, great quantities of building supplies,
elegant furniture, expensive personal items and extensive
supplies.
In 1723, The Act for the Encouragement of Learning was passed in
order to provide for "liberal and pious education of the youth"
of the province of Maryland. The Act stipulated that one school
in each County within the Maryland Province would be erected
under the discretion of the appointed Visitor for each County.
James Bowles, Esquire, was nominated, appointed and named
Visitor of St. Mary's County. It was his responsibility to
provide for the appropriate schooling of the children of St.
Mary's County. This began a long tradition at Sotterley of its
inhabitants' interest in education.
In 1727, the Honorable James Bowles, Esquire, "The Builder", who
served for seven years on the Maryland Council died, leaving his
wife Rebecca Addison Bowles a considerable fortune. In 1729, she
married George Plater II, but Bowles Preservation would remain
in her legal control during their married life."
