THE BQJLRDIAN 1JOIvIEN

Introduction

In follolt1ing the patrilineal line dOrn through the years little has been said of the wives and daughters wi-ase descent and influence have been in many cases dominant In the followshying pages they are briefly considered

Hannah Annable

The religious motive has been dominant in the Bowerman marriages Hannah Annables parents Anthony and Jane Momford Annable from All Saints Cambridge came to Plymouth on the Anne in 1623 ltli th relig ious re fugee s so as to enj oy religious freedom They moved to B8rnstable with Dr John Lothrop and his co~gregation Hannahs religious temperament is shown in the ready acceptance of ~uaker principles on the part of her children when George Foxs followers reached Plymouth colony in 1656

Mary Harper

Thomas Bowerman II son of Thomas I and Hannah Annable married Mary Harper the daughter of Robert Harper a well known ~uaker of Barnstable on April 9th 1678 only 7 years after George Fox visited America Thus he and his yenife were early members of the first Friends ~uarterly Meeting in America held on the site of the present meeting house at East Sand1tich

Jane Harby

Thomas III married Jane Harby evidently a Friend as a marriage to a non-Friend was against the rules of the SOCiety and generally cost the participant his membership Jane Harby was the mother of Ichabod Bowerman and died at or soon after his birth The secon] rife of Thomas III Jane Clefton 6r GlettG~ was evidently a kind stepmother for in a home with her own eight children Ichabod gre up to be a prominent member of the community

Lydia Nlott and Jene Richmond

Ichabod Bowermans first wife Lydia Mott was evidently a Friend His second wife Jane Richmond had been his houseshykeeper and apparently belonged to the established church She probably however had nonconformist tendencies as her father

and mother vlere married before a Justice of the ace and she herself became a convinced and influential Friend She cared for Lydia Mottls six children the eldest Timothy being 14 years of age at her marriage Then came her own tvTelv children in the next 21 years Four of Lydia Mott s children and te1 of her om migrated to Canada where she and her family became founders and supporters of the uaker faith Her elde st son~ Thomas vTas the United Empire Loyalist fho led the family to the new land Her ancestry follows

The first Earle of Richmond came to Britain iltJith ljilliam the Conqueror His descendant John Richmond was born in Taunton Sngland in 1594 and came to Americe with his two sons John and BdvJard about 1635 and bought much land from the Indians in Massachusetts and Rhode Island

Capt ain Edward Richmond 1 born about 1632 died I~ovember 1691 married Iirstcbigail Davis 1 daughter of James Javis and second Amy Bull daughter 0 Governor Henry Bull [of Rhode Island] Abigails third child John was born at New Port RI about 1660 and died 1740 John married Elizabeth - - - The eldest of their ten children las Cyrus ho married (1) Jane Crandal (2) Phebe Gott Mar 27 1734 Phebe Mottls daughter Jane 1gtlas born June 7 1735 prob ably in Rhode Island

Sarah Vincent

Thomas Bowerman UBL first married Sa~ah Vincent the daughter 01 Levi Vincent and Seroh 110xie farmers at Unionvale Dutchess Co NY LeviS father lichael Vincent AJas a farmer in ~estchester Co NY The Vincents were Quakers and a number of them settled in Prince Edward Co

Maturah Bull

The second wife of Thonas BOHerman UBL lVIacurah Bull belonged to a 1rell knmmiddotm Cu r tamily of Dutchess County a number 01 1dhom came to ince EdHarj Co Her ste son Vincent her ten children by Thomas 30WGr~2n and her two sons by John Stinson were all worthy buil~ers of the pioneer community in which they were born Vincents children s)oke kindly of her asiGrandmother Stinsoni h1s seconJ daughter LIaturah 1las

named after her

Nancy Southard

Vincent Bowermans first wife was the eldest child of William Southard and his wife Amy roxie of Long Island William was the eldest child of Hanry Southard of Dutchess County New York The Southards and Doxies were old ~uaker families

Nancys birthplace was about 25 miles from Brooklyn and probably near Freeport Long Island She and Vincent visited

the old home in 1831 and Vincent describes the land as poor requiring much fertilizer In any case William Southard prosshypered but caught the spirit of migratio~ to Canada so common 1vith his Quaker friends and neighbcrs His daughter Nancy was opposed to the move end is reported to have caught hold of her fathers coat tails on one occasion lhen he started to make preparations for the trip

(I 82 Finally -eboat 18Je in a strong covered 1middotragon 1000 silver dollars concealed in the bottom of the provision chest father mot r and seven children the baby arms started the long trek up the Hudson On the portages over into the Great Lakes basin the ferryman complained of the weight of the provision chest

The silver dollar~ purchased the 200 acre farm on lot 15 Second Concession litery act Hallowell Township between Bloomfield and Picton vrhich became knovn later as the fine farm of iflanly Yarwood At the time of purchase by William Southarj there were only 3 acres of cleared land and the highshymiddotray was the old deer trail improved as a vagon road

Nancy was living in their new frame clap-boarded house when she married Vincent Bowerman r early married years including the cold winter in the log cabin in the clearing on the Schoharie place have been recorded above A plank house replaced the log cabin and there the younger children were born When Levi the youngest of her six children was sixteen years old Nancy Southard died not yet 52 years old Farm ltork spinning and eaving flax and 14001 raising and caring for her family her strength failed but her family lived each to a ripe old age and her grand-children spoke with love and respect of Grandmothe~ Nancy vlhose grave lies beside that of her husband Vincent in the old Friends burying ground in Bloomfield

A strong-willed brunette Nancys girlhood struggle with her father was prophetic of her life Her daughters Maturah Hazard and Amy Lear were angular forceful women Lydia Hubbs fair rotund more typically Bowerman Levi Vincent had the Southard complexion and temperament In all cases they fought a good fight

Deborah lvlullett

stepmothers played an important role in the Bowerman saga as already stated

Deborah Mullett Haight is the first introduction of overshyseas blood into the Bowerman line in more than two hundr years Born in Frampton Gloucestershire England November 11th 1804 she came to Canada with her father William Mullett and her mother M8ry Clothier in 1821 along with 10 brothers and sisters The ~ulletts and Clothiers were old Somerset families

In the winter 01 1837-38 Consider Haight shrouded in a white sheet went hunting during the night to get venison for his growing family He caught a he avy cold hich settled on his lungs and turned into tuberculosis He died August 4th 1838

Deborah Haight at the age of 34 was left a widow with four little girls the baby only three months old Letting the farm on shares she managed as only pioneers can Nearly three miles from her fathers home she sometimes left the three older girl s id th a neighbour vlhile she rode horseback vIi th her baby on her arm to visit her mother The road led through a cedar swamp where the wolves howled in the autumn and winter

Deborah Haight had attended Sidcott Quaker Boarding ~chool Somersetshire from April 1816 until October 1818 and her interest in reading had been maintained by literature from England and by the intellectual atmosphere and library of the Haight family As her girls grew older she started a little school in her home where neigrbour children attended

After 12 years of lonely struggle Deborah Haight marshyried Vincent Bowerman January 24th 1850 as his second wife Her eldest daughter Elizabeth had already married a neighbour Robert Cadman and Rachel had married Nelson Sills a farmer near Napanee The tvo younger girls iITere taken to the Bowerman home in Schoharie

A small active black-eyed woman dressed in white cap and flawless (uaker garb Deborah Bowerman was the graceful hostess at many a gathering first in the old plank house later in the fine new brick house where her father William Mulshylett spent his last days At the cheese factory house she with Vincent and her youngest daughter Lydia were very comfortshyable In her later years she suf red fron bronchial trouble and felt much confined in the cramped quarters of the Little Lot Here however she entertained her cousins from street Columbus Clothier born the day her family sailed from Bristol his nephegtJ Erne st Tregellus and nie ce Kct ie Impey On Oct ober 27th 1892 a few weeks after their departure she passed away nearly 88 years of age

Mary Mullett Haight

Mary Mullett Haight the third daughter of Deborah Bowerman married Levi Vincent BoJerman Only one year and nine months old when her father died she was a product of her motherts care and good management I schooling consisted of attendance at her mothers little schocl and short periods at a nearby school She loved reading however and the Friends Review from London and later the Philadelphia Friend provided news and articles of high quality She learned to be a letter-rri tel from I mothers example in corresponding with her English relatives and brothers and sisters who lived in Pickering j Huntingdon and elsewhere A cousin on the Mullett side lived in Beltimore and the families kept up a regular correspondence

After her marriage Mary Bowerman soon assumed the main responsibility of the large complex household In the new home in Schoharie there were many helpers especially her youngest sister Lydia ever a companion of her mother In the Cheese Fectory house in Bloomfield durin the busy eight years of occupancy there 1ras a culmination at first of family success tempered always by the loss of her only son Thomas Soon financial losses cast a gloom and foreboding over the family After the crash of fortune and removal to Corey Street Bloomshyfield the death of the stalHart son-i~-law and wise adviser j Edwin 1Jilliams left the family broken and crushed The Little Lot crowded with people and their belongings inadequate in services represented the Itlittle end 01 the horn which Grandshymother so much feared for her old age She strlggled bravely worked all day and far into the night As a girl she had spent many evenings in Schoharie spinning yarn and Heaving cloth and late hours were not new to her Her daughter Carrie and she worked admirably togecher but of course we children made much work as well as great confusion

Grandmother loved company but paid heavily for entershytaining Few Sabbaths were spent alone but some were spent in return visits Her mother passed on Rachel stanley and Gerald lived at the Little Lot during periods when they were moving from one occupation to another during the depression of hat are falsely known as the If Gay l~ineties 1rJi th Grandshymothers small amount of schooling she became restless as her grandsons drove to High School and worked over the kitchen table at their lessons one t 1bullro three four five six years

By the time the family moved to t comfort of the 1rJilliams home in 1904 Grandmother lfas suf tering severely from sarcoma of the face and she died one year later

Deborah Mullett represented the Clothier inheritance spare dark quick oi action and thought Her daughter was a ~ullett short rotund blue-eyed qUiet thoughtful She was the typical lI~uaker Lady in her bonnet and shmmiddotrl alHays neat and well matched Grandmother was the soul of the household and has left her impress on her childrens children

And now the story comes to a logical conclusion The male line of Thomas BOHermans (UEL) descendants has run out~ at least so far as Canada is concerned The women vlho have married into the family have been all too briefly considered The female descendants and their children still remain however and the daughters of Levi and Mary Bowerman are suitable subjects with which to enJ this account

Caroline Elizabeth (Carrie E)

Caroline Elizabeth was 15 years older than Rachel Alma and they were both brunettes of the Southard type while Edith had been fair with blue eyes Carrie attended the Schokarie school and did well as her school report of 1873 shows However her attendance 1-~as very irregular because she was needed so much at home Rachel Alma went for a time to the Bloomf ld School The sisters married brothers Edwin Jllison and Caleb Stanley Williams and settled on farms about one quarter of a mile apart in Yerexville one and one-half miles north east of Picton

All went well until Edwin was killed in the hurricane of January lOth 1889 His death and Levi Bowermans financial failure forced Carrie her three boys and her fathers family to move into t Little Lot while the children were growing up By 1892 stanley left his farm as a result of the depression of the time and from t~en on he and his family lived at various places while he trierl selling Insurance and farming on rented places

The one outstanding deviaticn from the regular routine was the year spent at tioJesttown arding school by Carrie and her three bays There they sal education at a very advanced level and the ~uaker faith near its center in America ivleantime Stanley and family had movej into the Little Lot

For t~e two Sisters har~ work was the order of the day For Carrie a change came when her youngest son John took over the Williams farm 1JJork -laS even heavler hO l lever for her mother was dying and now there were milk pails anj cans to wash and hired help to feed She did it all however with occasion outside hel) and in addition saw four old people through their last illnesses

After John married in 1909 ~ot r spent periods of time with Thomas at Canmore and Cadomin Alberta at Madison Wisconshysin and Manhatt an Kans as with the writer at Hew Haven Conn and Vancouver Bri tish Columbia and vIi th John at Picton She spent three months during the summer of 1913 in England visiting cou~ins in Bristol and t old Clothier home in street Somerset Mother d d in the hospital in Calgary AlbertE~ on June 21st 1929 watched over by Thoras and his vrife ~-- gt gt-
