Sarah Virginia Louise Bowie ca. 1842-1924, daughter of Ethelbert
Bowie Sr., m. ca. 1858 Tarquin Napoleon Cox ("Tark") 1836-1932.
(Some genealogies mistakenly call him Napoleon Tarquin Cox, which sounds
better). Their home was on Poorhouse Rd. in Pisgah, near Port Tobacco, Charles
Co., Md. He was a blockade runner for the South until he decided to go to
Richmond to join the Confederate Army. The confederates arrested him as
a suspected spy, which he wasn't, and sent him to Libby Prison. After the
war he resumed his boating career, conveying produce from Southern Md. to
the markets in D.C., and also farmed in Charles Co. The couple eventually
moved to D.C.
