Individual Details
Mary BOWLBY
( - Aft 14 MAR 1787)
Colonel Herbert Bowlby in his manuscript of 1968 states that Mary married Reverend Thomas Rowland of England, and that after the Revolution they settled in Shelbourne, Nova Scotia, and had the following children: William, George, Charles, Charlotte, Mary Ann and Martha. This statement cannoy be accepted without further documentation because the name of Mary's husband differs from that of the above mentioned church record and the names of two grandchildren mentioned in Thomas Bowlby's will of 1787 do not appear in Colonel Herbert Bowlby's list. Thomas Bowlby mentioned two grandchildren: Thomas and Priscilla.
Our list of children may not be accurate at this point.
