Marriage Notes:

ORIGIN OF BOWLBY AS A SURNAME

Gunnor, second wife of Richard the Fearless, became Duchess Dowager of Normandy upon the death of her husband, and was the great grandmother of William, Duke of Normandy. Gunnor had two sisters, Wevis and Aveline, one of whom -- authorities disagree as to which one -- married Osborne Giffard, Sieur de Bolebec. The lands of Bolebec are today represented by Bolbec, a small town about twenty miles northeast of Le Havre in Normandy, France. Around 1053, Walter Giffard, Sieur de Bolebec, was rewarded for his support of his kinsman, William, Duke of Normandy, with the title of Counte de Longville, and after the Conquest of 1066, became the first Earl of Buckingham. Hugh de Bolebec, brother of Walter Giffard, also took part in the conquest. DOOMS DAY lists many properties under Hugo de Bolebec and Hugo de Bolebech as "tenant in capite" -- a tenant holding land immediately from the king. However, Hugh held other lands under his brother, and was subfeudatory to the Earl of Buckingham. Hugh’s descendants built Bolebec castle at Whitchurch, and held the title "Baron de Bolebec", The title descended through a daughter to the de Vere family, and became a secondary title to the Earls of Oxford, but the surname of Bolebec remained extent through other kinsmen as evidenced by land records in Buckingham and Yorkshire.

Today, the Bowlby family in England claims Hugh de Bolebec as founder of their family though records are insufficient to establish an unbroken line of descent. As in the case of most families, the Bowlbys depend upon the parish records, established in the mid-sixteenth century, for the documentation of a direct lineage. Charles Cotsford Bowlby found the earliest, continuous records for his family in the parish of Helmsley in North Riding, Yorkshire. He compiled "Pedigree of the Family of Bowlby from 1552 to 1915", a record of the family in England, and recorded it in the files of the College of Arms in January of 1915. Subsequently, this record has been published with additions in Burke’s PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE, and in his LANDED GENTRY. This record is of particular interest because it establishes the first five generations of the lineage in the American branch of the family considered here.

Marriage Notes:

Before the birth of their first child in 1662, Bryan and Elizabeth moved to Mansfield Woodhouse, a small community at the edge of Sherwood Forest and just north of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. It is open to speculation whether this move was motivated by Elizabeth’s possible relationship to the Manners family which held two manors at Helmsley from 1532 along with the titles of Earl of Rutland, and Baron de Ros, since the 6th Earl of Rutland and 18th Baron de Ros was Warden of Sherwood Forest and Constable of Nottingham Castle.

General Notes: The maiden name of John’s wife Mary remains completely uncertain. To date, our efforts to uncover primary source information regarding her maiden name have led us only to historical researchers speculations. What we have seen are "best guesses" but nothing definitive, and backed by virtually no primary source material.

Perhaps our most prolific and accomplished historical researcher, Raymond Edwin BOWLBY, has left us his case for suggesting Mary LANING. He wrote:

John (7) married before 1735, the estimated birth of his eldest son. John’s will states that his wife’s name was Mary, but family historians disagree upon her maiden name. Some believed her name was Mary LANING, while others believed she was Mary, the daughter of Josiah MERCER of Burlington of whose will Thomas BOWLBY (6), John’s father, became executor in 1727. After carefully studying John’s will, Harriet STRYKER-RODDA, a leading expert on early New Jersey genealogical history today, wrote her opinion in a letter of 10 Nov. 1981, that the wife of John was Mary LANING: ’That will proves without a doubt his relationship and family name of his wife Mary, for the executors were wife Mary and friend Joseph LANING, witnesses Edward LANING, Isaac LANING and Altiye LANING. A wife’s interests in an estate in such a rural area as Mansfield-Woodhouse were normally protected by having her relatives party to its settlement if any were living nearby."

But, many other well respected historical researchers have also left us their opinions.

Perhaps a source of suggesting Mercer as Mary’s maiden name may have come from DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE COLONIAL HISTORY OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, VOLUME XXIII. CALENDAR OF NEW JERSEY WILLS, VOL. I. 1670-1730 page 316

From: THE AMERICAN GENEALOGIST VOL. XXXIV (1958). Article written by Lewis D. COOK. F.A.S.G., of Philadelphia: BOWLBY OF MANSFIELD-WOODHOUSE, NOTTINGHAMSHIRE, ENGLAND OF BURLINGTON, MORRIS, HUNTERDON, AND SUSSEX COUNTIES N.J.: OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNA., AND NOVA SCOTIA

"iv. John BOWLBY, executor of father’s Will in 1731; is said to have m. one Mary LANNING, dau. of some Joseph LANNING, in 1734, but evidence is not found. The Joseph LANNING named a co-executor in the Will of John BOWLBY was probably the testator of Bethlehem Twp., Hunterdon Co., N.J., 1814, q.v. in NJ Archives, 42:248. John BOWLBY d. testate in Mansfield Twp., Sussex Co., Nj, between 7 Dec 1779 and 31 Dec. 1782, appointing he wife Mary BOWLBY and friend Joseph LANING executors, and devising his estate to his children..."

He further mentions that the baptisms of some of their children, by the Church of England minister in Sussex Co., N.J. are found in his register, published in the Penna. Magazine of Hist. and Biog., vol. 12.

But, on 23 Nov 1972, William M. LEFFINGWELL sent a draft of his article BOWLBY to Janis PAHNKE, (and she kindly has sent a copy to me...) From pg 3.

"...

3. John, b. m Mary (MERCER ?)

....

As executor of his father’s will, John BOWLBY was responsible for the family’s right to land in West Jersey. He probably returned to England after his father’s death, where he may have married Mary MERCER. He was back in the Province by 1735, when his first son, Samuel, was born."

We remain hopeful that we might yet uncover more definitive evidence by exploring both the LANING and MERCER genealogies. Other theories abound, such as Mary was first married to a MERCER or a LANING prior to her marriage to John, or that he was married to two different women by the name of Mary - first to a Mary MERCER, then to a Mary LANING. But, to date, none of these speculative theories are based upon any direct evidence that our Mary BOWLBY was related to either the MERCER or LANNING families.

Eighth Generation (5th Great-Grandchildren)

33. Samuel Bowlsby\Bowlby [132]53 (John M. Sr. '7, Thomas '6, Bryan '5, Richard '4, John '3, John '2, Richard '1) was born in 1735 in Burlington, Burlington Co., NJ and died in 1823 in Imlaydale, Sussex Co., NJ at age 88.

General Notes:

Samuel was the first of three sons named in his father’s will signed 7 DEC 1779 and received a third of his father’s land when the will was probated in 1782. According to a history of the HARRIMAN family of New Jersey quoted in OUR BOWLBY Kin, Volume 1, compiled by June B. BAREKMA, Samuel was born in 1735, Burlington, NJ, died 12 1823, Imlaydale, Sussex Co., NJ, married Elizabeth DUNN prior to 1760, who died prior to 1823. On the other hand, PATRIOTIC INDEX of the D.A.R. gives: "Samuel BOWLSBY, 1730-1810, pvt., NJ, Rev. W., married Betsey DURAN." Adding to confusion, family historians, Cordelia KELLY and Eva Crumbaugh GRIZZELLE, give the name of Samuel’s wife as Elizabeth DAVIS, and state that he died in 1805 or 1810, and that he was buried in the graveyard that his father deeded to the Mansfield Presbyterian Church in 1765. Samuel’s father lived in Springfield Twp., Burlington Co., from 1727 to 1737, so Samuel probably was born there. TRADITIONS OF HUNTERDON by John W. LEQUEAR states that Samuel and his brothers all lived to be over 80 years of age. Samuel’s estate was introduced into the Prerogative Court, Sussex Co., 22 Nov 1823, at which time it was stated that Samuel "... died in the month of November last past intestate seized of land and real estate, lying on both sides of the Musconetcong creek." Therefore, Samuel must have died in Nov 1822, and was over 80 years old even if he were born as late as 1741 or 1742. That Samuel married Elizabeth _____, there is no doubt, because they both signed as grantors in Hunterdon Co. land deeds as late as 1816. Since his wife is not mentioned in the prerogative proceedings, she must have died between 1816 and 1822. The prerogative court proceedings make clear that Samuel and Elizabeth had six children, and that they were born in the following order: John, Mary, Hannah, Sarah, Ann, and Samuel.

At the time of his death, Samuel held land described as "... the farm in the counties of Hunterdon and Sussex on both sides of the Musconetcong River, containing two hundred and fifty acres more or less, and also the farm situate in the county of Sussex near the village of Washington, containing one hundred and seventy-five acres more or less..." A quitclaim on 3 Nov 1801, for 35 acres from Samuel BOWLBY (8) to Henry DUSENBERY reveals that at that time Samuel owned practically all of what is today New Hampton with exception to the six acres bequeathed in his father’s will to assorted grandchildren. These were the lands that fell in dispute in 1823. A manuscript map by D, Stanton HAMMOND of Hunterdon County drawn from early deeds shows that Samuel held a fifty acre tract before his father’s death that lay along the south bank of the Musconetcong River in the vicinity of New Hampton in Hunterdon County. The land inherited from his father is said to have included the family grist mill at Imlaydale on the north bank of the Musconetcong River in Syssex, now Warren County.

Information on Samuel’s life is not at all clear. There were several members of the BOWLBY family named Samuel living in the general area at the same time, and records as well as family traditions became confused. Samuel probably operated the family mill at Omlaydale until it was sold to Thomas STEWART, then later to Noab CRAMER. D.A.R. has accepted lineages of Samuel’s descendants under the service record of "Samuel BOWLSBY" who, according to Stryker’s OFFICIAL REGISTER OF OFFICERS AND MEN OF NEW JERSEY, served as a private in Captain Jacob STULL’s company, Second Regiment, Sussex Co., New Jersey militia, and the Continental line as a captain under Colonel Aaron HANKINSON. TRADITIONS OF HUNTERDON by John W. LEQUEAR states: "Samuel BOWLBY was an officer in the expedition that was sent to Wilkes-Barre after the massacre in Wyoming. The party had to cut their way through forests. Joseph H. BOWLBY had his father’s commission for a number of years." Since Samuel had no son named Joseph, the Joseph H. BOWLBY referred to in this quote, and later described, must have been Jospeh Lanning BOWLBY, son of Samuel’s son, John. The massacre at Wyoming, PA, occurred in July, 1778, when Samuel was around 43 years old. Samuel’s military record appears to be contradicted in an excerpt from NEW JERSEY AS A ROYAL PROVINCE by Edgar J. FISHER:

"County committees reported to the Provincial Congress those persons

who were unfriendly to the articles of association. Non-associates were

directed to be disarmed and give security for their future behavior. After

their refusal to join the association had led to their disarmament, they were

fined for not attending the military reviews properly accounted. Charges

were proffered against Christopher HARRISON by the committee of

Bethlehem, Hunterdon Co. His case was examined and considered by

the Provincial Congress, and HARRISON was ordered to pay costs, be

disarmed and give £50 security for good behavior. The county jail was to

be his abode until he complied with those conditions. Similar judgements

were returned against Samuel BOWLSBY and Dr. Andrew McCLINCY of

Sussex Co. ..."

This would indicate that Samuel was of Loyalist persuasion. Further doubt is cast upon Samuel’s reputation as a soldier of the American Revolution when a search of New Jersey records reveals:

"New Jersey Continental Line ... BOWLSBY, Samuel ... Newton ... Sussex ... MSS,

Number 3660 ... A list of the Recruits raised for nine months out of the Second

Battalion of Sussex Co. Militia Commanded by Col. Aaron HANKINSON raised by

order of the State New Jersey, that is to say, - Sixth Company, Commanded by

Captain STULL 5 Class, Newton - Name, Samuel BOWLSBY, 5 feet, 9 inches,

aged 25 years."

The pay records attached to this record were addressed to Morris Co. on 3 May, 1784. The Samuel BOWLBY considered here was around 33 years old in 1778, so it can only be concluded the above records were for Samuel’s cousin, Samuel BOWLBY, fifth son of George BOWLBY (7), whose estimated birth was after 1737, probably in the middle to late 1740’s.

An overview of Samuel’s attitude during the war is given in a biographic sketch of Joseph I. BOWLSBY of Neligh, NE, who is believed to be a grandson through Samuel’s son, Samuel. Several items given in the sketch are of doubtful validity, but in light of what is now known of Samuel’s life, this has the ring of truth:

"His grandfather, Captain Samuel BOWLSBY. .. served for some time in the

militia, which was organized for protection against the Indians. When the

Revolutionary War broke out he resigned his position as an officer in the militia,

as he was too old to enter the service had he been so inclined. His sympathies

were with the British, as the sympathies of his family, still he took no active part

either way."

The following was sent to Cynthia BOWLBY from Melva CALAMAN on 12 NOV 2000:

Found the Prerogative Court Petition of the heirs of Samuel BOWLBY dated Nov. 1824 in my back pocket--Ray BOWLBY sent me a copy . It says that Samuel (8) died "in the month of November, 1822 (no age given )..leaving heirs at law to whom it (property) hath descended, to wit, Samuel BOWLBY, his son, entitled to one share. Hannah PIATT, wife of Benjamin PIATT, his daughter, entitled to one share. Mary LACY, widow of John LACEY dec’d. his daughter, entitled to one share. Joseph L. BOWLBY, John S. BOWLBY, Henry BOWLBY, Samuel BOWLBY and James BOWLBY, sons of John BOWLBY his son who was entitled to one share. Sally Martin HESS, wife of John Martin HESS his daughter who was entitled to one share. Samuel LACEY, Elizabeth MORSE late LACEY, wife of Robert MORSE, and Mary LACEY, a minor, children of Ann LACEY deceased who was the wife of Garret LACEY and daughter of said Samuel BOWLBY deceased and entitled to one share of his said real estate." Also states that the property is "clear of all debt and that the said real estate is not depreciating in value".

The following was supplied by James LEMING on 23 AUG 2001:

Samuel BOWLSBY appears to have seen

military service in the New Jersey Militia, at least early on in the

Revolutionary War.

After reading your notes, I realize how difficult it is to get a clear

picture of Samuel BOWLSBY’S vital information and his involvement in

the War effort. As did his own family (in which he was a child and

grandchild), I can see where Samuel BOWLSBY might have had leanings as

a Loyalist--but at the same time being a Rebel.

Samuel BOWLSBY was the grandson of Thomas BOWLBY, born 1665. Three of

Thomas’ sons, John, George and Richard came to America. We know that

Richard remained a loyalist. I’m Not sure about George, but do know

that his sons Edward and Richard both fought for the British and that

his son John probably also sympathized with them.

The status of John BOWLBY, the father of our Samuel BOWLSBY, is not

clear, but although he may have been sympathetic toward the British,

he does not seem to have been active in supporting them as did his

brothers, Richard and George.

One account (source named later) which we believe is referring to

their brother, John, states: "Richard’s brother (name not stated),

although a Loyalist, remained in New Jersey throughout and after the

War with his wife and children, who were ’Rebels’." One of these

"Rebels" would have been my ancestor, Samuel BOWLSBY.

The information which I have presented here comes from the

publication, "The Loyalists of New Jersey in The Revolution," pp.

31-32, 88, 262-263. My apologies for at this time not providing a

more complete description of this publication. I made use of this

book in the Orlando Public Library at Orlando, Florida.

My purpose in writing you is hopefully to give a clearer picture of

Samuel BOWLSBY’S situation during the Revolutionary War and to more

accurately determine his War record. Might this also give us a lead

as to actually which was his wife’s family--DUNN, DURAN or DAVIS? Who

were the patriots bearing these respective names?

Cordelia Carbaugh KELLY goes as far as naming the father of Samuel

BOWLSBY’S wife. She states:

"He married Elizabeth DAVIS of Nottingham, Greewich, N.J. and she died

in Warren Co., N.J. Her father was Jonathan DAVIS." I’ve done no

follow up on this.

My BOWLBY ancestry descending from Samuel BOWLSBY is through his son

John and his first wife, Mary HARRIMAN; their son Samuel Barker BOWLBY

and through his daughter Mary Ann Bowlby CARBAUGH; continuing through

Martha E. Carbaugh RICHARDS, Ada Ann Richards WELCH and Viola Welch

LEMING, my mother.

Samuel married Elizabeth Dunn [133]65 [MRIN: 92] before 1760. Elizabeth died between 1816 and 1822.

General Notes:

Mary Ann was the first of Samuel’s daughters to be named and receive a bequest of half an acre at Johnson’s Mill, now New Hampton, in her grandfather’s will of 1779. On May, 1800, when she sold this land, she was the wife of John LACEY (also spelled "LACY" or "LEACY"). Family researcher William J. HILL says that Samuel’s daughters, Mary and Ann, married brothers who were the sons of Garret LACEY, a prominent man, and justice of the peace in Sussex County. In a letter, Mrs. David (Leone E.) VAN WESTEN of California writes:

"A long time ago there was a Samuel BOWLBY of Hunterdon Co., who married Elizabeth DAVIS. They among other children, had a daughter Mary who m. John LACEY. Her daughter Polly who m. John Hampton BAKER was my G. G. grandmother."

Mary (BOWLBY) LACEY, widow of John LACEY, deceased, was living 19 NOV 1824, when she, as the daughter of Samuel BOWLBY, and others petitioned the perogative court of Sussex County to stop the sale of her father’s lands in New Jersey. On 4 AUG 1837, Mary Ann LACEY of Vermillion Twp., Vermillion Co., IN, sold land inherited from Samuel BOWLBY to Samuel SHIELDS of Warren Co., NJ.

Mary married someone.

  41 F iii. Hannah Bowlby [178]70 was born on 10 May 176571 and died on 30 Mar 184272 at age 76.

General Notes:

Hannah was the second of Samuel’s daughters to be named in her grandfather’s will of 1779. In a petition to halt the sale of her father’s lands on 19 NOV 1824, she was the third heir to be mentioned.

Melva CALAMAN provided the following:

" I have a copy of Hannah PIATT’s will dated and filed for probate April, 1842. She was of New Hampton, Hunterdon co., N.J.. It names three daughters:Elizabeth BAKER, wife of William BAKER; Anna RICE, wife of Moses RICE; and Sarah PIATT and a son James PIATT deceased with his share to go to his two children (not named) when they become of age.. It also names Tamson, daughter of Mary PIATT deceased, and Hammeram, daughter of Sarah PIATT. She named Sylvester BOWLBY as executor and Sarah Bowlby HESS also had him for her executor."

Residence: Abt 1842, New Hampton, Hunterdon Co., NJ.73

Hannah married someone.

  42 F iv. Ann Bowlby [180]74 was born about 4 Dec 1768,75 died on 18 Feb 181675 about age 47, and was buried in Bowlby Cem., Imlaydale, NJ.75

General Notes:

Ann was baptized by Reverend William FRAZER. She was the fourth of Samuel’s four daughters named in her grandfather’s will of 1779 to receive half an acre at Johnson’s Mill, now New Hampton. When she sold this land 2 FEB 1800, she was the wife of Garret LACEY (also spelled "LACY" and "LEACY"). Garret and his brother, John, who married Mary BOWLBY, were the sons of Garret LACEY, a Justice of the Peace in Sussex County. Ann was deceased before 1823 when her father’s heirs were named. On 22 NOV 1823, a petition for the partition of Samuel BOWLBY’s lands was presented in the perogative court of Sussex County by Garret LACEY on behalf of Mary LACEY ". . . a minor under fourteen years of age of whose person and estate the said Garret LACEY hath been appointed guardian. . . " Garret LACEY, Esquire, could have been Mary’s father, but a reasonable interpretation of this situation is that Ann and her husband were both deceased before 1823 leaving a daughter, Mary, whose appointed guardian was her paternal grandfather. A daughter of Ann would be heir to her mother’s portion of her grandfather’s estate. Garret LACEY, Ann’s husband, would have been natural guardian of their daughter with no need of appointment. Garret LACEY, the grandfather, would probably be appointed guardian if his son and daughter-in-law were both deceased.

An Imlaydale Grave Marker Transcription, from a stone now buried beneath the porch foundation on the colonial house closest to the Musconetcong River on Imlaydale, reads:

"In memory of Ann Lacey, wife of Garrett Lacey who departed this life February 18th AD 1816 aged 47 years 2 months and 14 days."

Baptism: 25 Dec 1768.

Sarah married someone about 1790.

  44 M vi. Samuel Bowlby [181]77 was born on 6 Mar 1770 in Sussex Co., NJ and died after 1827 in Fayette Or Somerset Co., PA.

General Notes:

There is the possibility that Samuel was born as late as 6 MAR 1770. Two newspaper articles appeared in the Neligh Leader of Neligh, NE in 1902 concerned with the life and family of a Joseph I. BOWLSBY. His grandfather’s name is given as "Captain Samuel BOWLSBY", and though the names of his parents are not given, the lands described as being owned by his grandfather and father could refer only to Samuel BOWLBY (8) and Samuel BOWLBY (9). There seems little doubt that Joseph I. BOWLSBY was the son of Samuel BOWLBY (9); however, the date of Joseph I. BOWLSBY’s birth is stated to be 6 MAR 1770. This could not have been Joseph’s birth date -- he is said to have been one hundred and seven years old when he died, -- but it could possibly be his father’s birth date.

Documented facts of Samuel’s life present a meager outline. Prerogative court records show that on 19 NOV 1824, Samuel and other heirs filed suit to stop the sale of his father’s lands upon which, according to witnesses, Samuel had lived during the past 30 years or better. On 11 NOV 1827, Samuel and his wife, Johanna, sold their interest in his father’s estate, as yet unsettled, to David PARKS. The biographical sketch in a history of Kansas on E. H. BOWLBY, evidently another son of Samuel, states that Samuel’s family moved from Newton, NJ to Fayette Co., PA when E. H. was around six, which would have been in 1825.

Colonel Herbert BOWLBY, a descendant of Samuel’s older brother, John, wrote "The Bowlby Family History", apparently based upon family letters, documents, and interviews no longer available. In considering this Samuel BOWLBY, he writes:

" Actually, Samuel (9) sold shares of his father’s land before the division of the property to one David PARKE. William R. REEVES wrote that he died in Harrisburg or Pittsburgh on his way by wagon train to or from the west. He and his wife, Johannah - (said in doubtful report to be Grace LUCEY) had six children -- Samuel, Aaron, Joseph, Robert, Moses, and a daughter who died in infancy. His descendants lived in southwest Pennsylvania. . ."

Since Samuel married Johanna when he was around 40 years old, it seems reasonable to believe that the six children named in the above quotation were by a previous marriage, particularly since the names of the children known to be those by Johanna are not in the list. That these six children were born in a previous marriage is supported by the fact that Aaron, one of the sons, was born in 1804, six years before Samuel’s marriage to Johanna. Aaron’s death certificate does not give his mother’s name, but it does give the name of his father as Samuel BOWLBY. The "doubtful report" that the name of Samuel’s wife was Grace LUCEY actually seems a likely name for Samuel’s first wife, because two of Samuel’s sisters had married into the LUCEY family; however, Joseph I. BOWLSBY’s biographer suggests that the "I" in Joseph’s name might stand for "INSLEY", a well known name in the district where Joseph was born. Other evidence has been found of a previous marriage that also indirectly supports the name of "INSLEY" for Samuel’s first wife. William BOWLBY, evidently a grandson of Samuel through his son, Robert, tells of his family:

". . . Samuel BOWLBY was my grandfather. He was married after his father came to America. He married a Miss INSEVE and lived in New Jersey for many years. He had two sons, Samuel and Robert, and one daughter. Then his wife died in 1799. He had several sons by his second wife, then she died. Then he sold out all of his possessions and started to come to Indiana where my father lived. My grandfather was afflicted with that dreaded disease called consumption and fell a victim to it on his road to my father’s place in Indiana. He died at Philadelphia in 1820 . . . "

Considering William’s lack of formal education, "INSEVE" is very close to "INSLEY", and referring to Sussex County histories, the surname of INSLEY occurs in many variations. The details of William’s story can not be relied upon, but his writing does support the general story of Samuel’s life that is accepted in this work. Samuel married twice. He probably had six children by his first wife whose maiden name may have been INSLEY. He secondly married Johanna PARKHURST in 1810, and had other children. The family left New Jersey soon after 1827, and went to Pennsylvania where Samuel died, probably in Fayette or Somerset County where Samuel’s brothers are know to have settled, and where Samuel’s later children were reared.

Samuel married someone.

Samuel next married someone on 10 Nov 1810 in Sussex Co., NJ.78

Ninth Generation (6th Great-Grandchildren)

39. John Bowlsby\Bowlby [129]68 (Samuel '8, John M. Sr. '7, Thomas '6, Bryan '5, Richard '4, John '3, John '2, Richard '1) was born about 1760 in Imlaydale, Sussex Co., NJ and died in 1800 in Mansfield Twp., Sussex Co., NJ66 about age 40.

John married Mary Harriman [130]79 [MRIN: 90] in 1781.80 Mary was born on 29 Dec 1765 in Rockaway, Now Denville, Morris Co., NJ and was buried in Rockaway, Now Denville, Morris Co., NJ.

Marriage Notes: Early family historians, and DAR lineages concur in that he was born in or near Imlaydale, Sussex County, New Jersey, around 1760. His father’s prerogative count records establish that he was the eldest son, that he lived until his death upon a farm owned by his father. Depositions given in 1825 indicate that he may have died as early as 1800, but certainly before 10 December, 1819, when the farm upon which he lived was leased to his son, John S. BOWLBY. William J. HILL and other family historians accept that John was first married in 1781 to MARY HARRIMAN, daughter of John and Sarah (PRICE) HARRIMAN, born 29 December, 1765, Rockaway, now Denville, New Jersey. "Harriman Family History in New Jersey," and DAR lineages indicate that a child, Samuel Barker, was born of this marriage in 1782. The above historians say that Mary died and was buried at Rockaway, but give no date. Counter to this is the fact that "Mary BOWLSBY, wife of John BOWLSBY" appears in the settlement of John HARRIMAN’s estate, administration granted 19 June, 1806, establishing that Mary (HARRIMAN) BOWLSBY was living at that time. Yet, John is said to have married secondly MARY LANNING, born in 1760 at Imlaydale, New Jersey, before their first son was born in 1786. John could not have had two wives living at the same time. Cordelia KELLY, family historian, and a descendant of this line, gives the names of eight children born to John and Mary LANNING excluding Samuel, who she indicates was the son of Mary HARRIMAN: Joseph Lanning, Henry, James, John S., Martha, Elizabeth, Jamina, and Mary. As heirs apparent through son John, deceased, five sons are named in Samuel BOWLBY’s prerogative court records in the following order: Joseph L., John S., Henry, Samuel, and James. This may not indicate order of birth, because the first three were living in New Jersey, whereas Samuel and James were probably living in Pennsylvania at the time of their father’s death. Though John’s first marriage may be disputable, the fact that John had a son, Samuel, is not, because Samuel and his wife, Hulda, were living in Turkeyfoot Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, 15 March, 1825, when they disposed of his part of his grandfather’s land. The names of John’s nine children remain intact.

  45 M i. Samuel Barker Bowlby [128]81 was born on 5 Jul 1782 in Sussex Co., NJ, died in 1846 in Murphysboro, Jackson Co., IL at age 64, and was buried in Halladay Cem., Murphysboro, Jackson Co., IL.

General Notes:

There may have been some error in who his mother was, but Samuel is named in his grandfather’s estate records as a son of John, and he and his wife, Hulda, were living in Turkeyfoot Township, Somerset Co., PA. on 15 Mar 1825, when they disposed of part of his grandfather’s land. The 1820 census of Turkeyfoot Twp. has Samuel "BOWLSBY" living there with his wife and eight children. Samuel’s family left PA. after the birth of his youngest child, Sarah (b. 1832), and moved to Ohio for some time before moving on to Murphysboro, Jackson Co., IL. where Samuel bought 8,000 acres of land 3 May 1841.

Samuel married someone in New Jersey.14

John married Mary Lanning [131]79 [MRIN: 91] about 1786.82 Mary was born in 1760 in Imlaydale, Sussex Co., NJ.

  46 M i. Joseph Lanning Bowlby [182]83 was born on 24 May 1787 in New Hampton, Hunterdon Co., NJ, died on 10 Jul 1873 in New Hampton, Hunterdon Co., NJ at age 86, and was buried in Musconetcong Valley Presby. Church, NJ.

General Notes:

Joseph’s family stories were used by John W. LEQUEAR in a series of newspaper articles in the "Hunterdon Republican" appearing in 1869-70. The articles were reprinted in a book, TRADITIONS OF HUNTERDON by D. H. MOREAU, Flemington, NJ, in 1957. The chapter, "BOWLBYS of Hampton," ends with the following quote: Joseph H. BOWLBY, now of New Hampton, is the oldest living representative of the family. He felicitously asserts that he and his amiable wife lived together for fifty-three years and have raised eleven children, ten of their own, and one who came to live with them when small. They had eleven of their own, but lost one."

General Notes:

He was probably the John S. who served as a private in September of 1814 from New Hampton, New Jersey. Some researchers have his middle initial as "L" but scrutiny of his grandfather’s estate papers disclose that it was "S". Warren Co. deed of 16 NOV 1827 shows John S. BOWLBY and wife, Elizabeth, were then of Bethlehem Twp., Hunterdon Co. Colonel Herbert BOWLBY notes that he married Elizabeth CASTNER, but this was John R. BOWLBY born in 1824. John and Elizabeth apparently had at least 6 children: William, Sarah J., Hetty, Hamilton, and Robert M. Notes from the BOWLBY reunion of 1906 give the names of three: Stacy, David P., and Hamilton. Seven children have been identified in this family, but the 1840 census report of Warren Co. suggests there may have been others. In 1840, Stacy, Charles, Bartley, Alexander, and Alfred were living in Mansfield and of approximately the same age. Stacy used Charles, Bartley, and Alfred in naming his children, possibly after his brothers.

Marriage Notes:

The census of 1820 of Milford Twp., Somerset Co., PA. lists a "BOWLSPREY, James" as a family of four: 1 male between 15-26; 1 female between 16-26; 1 male under 10; and 1 female under 10. James BOWLBY and wife, Sarah, were in Somerset Co. 15 MAR 1828, when they disposed of two parts of his grandfather’s estate, one part having been released to him previously by his brother, Henry BOWLBY. James and Sarah moved from PA. to OH. in 1831. They raised most of their family in Stark Co., then in 1852 moved to Crawford Co., and lived somewhere near Galion and Bucyrus, both are given as their address. They are said to have had 14 children, 13 of whom they raised to maturity, one died as an infant. Nine of the 13 children were living in 1884. Mrs. Cordelia KELLY writes: "We do not know James’ wife’s maiden name but they called her Aunt Sarah. Her weight was 300 and James had a carriage made for her and a ladder to get in and out of the carriage. My father and his brother, Samuel CARBAUGH, visited them in 1849." Later Mrs. KELLY gives Sarah’s last name as "GROOSE". Her companion in family research, Mrs. GRIZZELLE, gives Sarah’s last name as "CROSS".

EMANUEL BOWLBY was born in Somerset County, Penn., September 19, 1821; he is a son of James and Sarah (Gross) BOWLBY, natives of Hunterdon County, N. J.,

and Somerset County, Penn., the former born September 11, 1796, the latter

resided there till March, 1831, moving to Crawford County, Ohio, in 1852, the

father dying there in 1870, the mother in 1859. His father died of apoplexy,

falling in the Nevada Depot. There were fourteen children in the family, nine

Sarah. Mr. B. resided with his parents till of age; he then rented land, and

farmed two years in Wayne County, and seven years in Stark County, moving to

Wyandot, and locating on his present farm of eighty acres in 1852. This farm

was purchased while covered by a dense growth of timber, but has been cleared

and improved by Mr. BOWLBY till it is now valued at $75 per acre. Mr. BOWLBY

John married someone.

Marriage Notes:

A biographical sketch of Salamis BOWLBY whose parents were John and Susan (STAHL) BOWLBY appears in a history of Hancock Co., OH. Subtracting 20 years from Salamis’ age gives 1824 as the approximate birth of his father. This and many other circumstances are too strong not to believe that Salamis’ father was the John considered here, and that his mother was a sister to Sarah STALL who married Emanuel, older brother of the John. Emanuel’s sketch in the Wyandot Co. history of 1884, gives information of Sarah STALL’s family:

"Michael and Sarah (BOWERS) STALL, natives of Somerset Co., PA., the former born 1792, the latter in 1795. They had 11 children, six living -- Abraham, Henry, William, Elizabeth, Sarah, Barbara. The deceased are George, Michael, Jackson, John and Susan."

Apparently, Emanuel married Sarah, older sister of Susan, and their maiden name was STALL or STAHL.

John, a shoemaker, settled in Finlay, Hancock Co., OH., in 1847, and remained until 1856 and then moved to Carey, Wyandot Co., OH. Seven childre were born to them, all of whom were living in 1903.

  63 F x. Mary Jane Bowlby [16]113 was born in 1834 in Pennsylvania114 and died 12 or 14 AUG 1865 OR 22 AUG 1866.115

General Notes: Mary Jane Bowlby.

Mary A. Bowlloy: So indexed online under Ohio marriages.

1858: The marriage certificate is in our possession.

1860s: We have a considerable collection of documents in our possession relating to the life of Mary Jane Bowlby, particularly after the death of her husband. Some of these were kept in the family since that period, and others have been collected by her descendant, Peggy Reins. The most notable of these documents is a letter written on her behalf by an Elizabeth Courtride, asking for assistance in raising Amelia, and relaying remarks about Delbert, etc. It is not immediately obvious why we should still have this letter, if it had been sent. Did Ida Jane get it because it ended up in the hands of the person who became her guardian? Would this have been Emanuel Bowlby?

Peggy says that he went looking for her place of burial, and that she thinks it was in this plot now under a high school in Galion, where perhaps Frances and Eve were buried as well. Consider asking the Bowlby group about this.

Mary married Luther Hunt Johnson [17]116 [MRIN: 9] on 28 Mar 1858 in Galion, Crawford Co., OH.115 Luther was born circa 1824 in Ohio? (Pennsylvania? Connecticut?) and died on 29 May 1862 in Corinth, Missisippi at age 38. Another name for Luther was Luther H. Johnston.117
