Individual Details

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."
