A link has been added from the name "Bowman" in the list of members of the Travelling Church to a distillery page related to a family from northern Virginia of that name. There were an Abraham Bowman and his brother John Bowman who were pioneers from Virginia to Kentucky before the Travelling Church. Although the latter is said to have sold some land to Travelling Church patriarch, Toliver Craig Sr., both brothers are said by some to have already been residing in Kentucky since before the migration of the Church. Still, it is possible that either or both brother(s) could have travelled along with the Travelling Church even though there is no definite link with the Bowmans recorded as members of the Travelling Church migration of 1781-1782.
However, the Wiki page of Abraham Bowman (which could be wrong) says that he led the final charge at the Battle of Yorktown (Fall 1781), which means that he could not have been with the Travelling Church who was approaching the Cumberland Gap at that time. So I would like to know of any support linking the Bowmans on the Distillery page with the Bowman who participated in the Travelling Church? If the link identifying the Travelling Church Bowmans with the Distillery Page is not supported, I think it should be removed as misleading, but there may be a case for linking to John and/or Abraham Bowman pages as possible but unproven connections with the Bowman individuals of the Travelling Church. -- Olorin3k ( talk) 18:10, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello. I just resubmitted Draft:The Travelling Church for WP:AfC review. I think that the WP:NPOV issue that you were concerned about has been adequately addressed. — BarrelProof ( talk) 03:05, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your interest and encouragement, BarrelProof. Frankly, the article when I first submitted it was not lacking as the person who rejected it thought. And over the last many months I have occasionally added things in and changed them around, so the article as you first saw it was much less ready for submission than was the first one that should have been accepted--ha! So thanks for getting me over the hurdle of trying to figure out who the controlling critics are and what they want (since it is not made very evident of objective). Once it passes the retentive gatekeepers, then the article can flourish as intended, so thanks again! I look forward to working with you in future. Olorin3k ( talk) 01:10, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
