== Biography ==Robert Bowman was born in 1600 in Berkshire, England (Note: Alternate birth in Virginia). He died on Feb 17, 1671 in Bermuda, Henrico, Virginia Colony[[#FamilyTree]]
=== Marriage ===
Marriage: Place: Virginia, United States
Spouses: Sarah Orme, Maude PettieRobert Jr can be associated both with the land in Bermuda Hundred and with a plantation known as Roxdale.As of February 8, 1997 I do not know the location of Roxdale, but I guess it is in Chesterfield or Henrico County.
=== Children ===Robert Bowman and Sarah Orme are believed to have had the following children (see individual children for sourcing):
* [[Bowman-1517|Robert Bowman]] (1630-1671)
* [[Bowman-852|Dr. John Bowman]] (1630-1705)
* [[Bowman-1639|William Bowman]] (1639-1695)
* [[Bowman-1063|Mary (Bowman) Hudson]] (1640-1688)
=== Parentage ===This parentage for the brothers John Bowman and Edward Bowman of Henrico Parish is speculative. As of August 1995 I have found no document or abstract of a colonial document which identifies their father. However, Virginia land entries from the 1660s and 1670s for the Bermuda Hundred in Henrico County identify Robert Bowman, Jr as a land owner for property adjoining his father, Robert, Senior. Robert, Jr. is a candidate of the right age in the correct vicinity to be father of John and Edward. For that reason I put him forward. John Bowman, Sr., was guardian for orphan John Bowman, Jr. until 1679 in Henrico County. Because I have found no land records in the name of John Bowman, Sr., in the Bermuda Hundred area, and since brothers John and Edward appear to come into possession of the lands of Robert, Jr., I think of him as the probable father of these men. Of course Robert Jr. and John, Sr. could be brothers.
Charles W. Bowman in the introduction to his 1912 book[[#Bowman]]offered:: "In general, there seems little doubt that the Bowmans of Virginia and other states to the south and west are of common stock. It is a family tradition that the earliest ancestor was a ship carpenter who came with the first colonists to Jamestown from London, but this has neither been authenticated or disproved."
=== Other Records ===
Nugent's book gives the following[[#Nugent]]* p. 97 2 May 1705 Capt. John Bolling, Edward Bowman & John Bowman 1146 Scres Henrico County 3rd branch of Swift Creek, Begin at Henry Poland North side of said Creek.* p. 102 2 Nov 1705 John Tullit, 17,653 Acres Henrico County, South of James on Bowman's line.* p. 191 15 July 1717 John Bolling, Edward Bowman & John Bowman 497 Acres Henrico East side of Falling Creek.* p. 211 9 Feb 1718 Elizabeth Bowman 50 Acres Henrico South side James on Fox Slash, adjoining William Clarke & William Soane.* p. 230 5 Sept 1723 John Bowman, Jnr 450 Acres Henrico County Northside Swift Creek, adjoining his own survey in Henry Powland's line, crossing the main road to Major John Bolling.* p. 293 17 Aug 1725 John Lavillian, 400 Acres Henrico North of Appomattox River, adjoining John James Florenoy on South side of a branch of Nutt Tree Branch; Francis Florenoy on North side of the Dumplin Branch, and John Bowman's line.* p. 300 24 Mar 1725 John Newby 100 Acres Henrico South of Swift Creek adjoining John Bowman and Richard Grill's line
Edward Bowman's will of 1722 made gifts of land on Swift Creek.
John Bowman's will of 1725 made gifts of land on Nut Tree Run and Swift Creek.
The abstract of Elizabeth Bowman's deed of Feb. 9, 1718 ties these land acquisitions to the earlier holdings of Robert, Jr., when read in combination with the following abstract from Crozier's Virginia County RecordsVol. II, Taken from Henrico County Deeds & Wills 1725-1737:* p. 134 25 Aug 1727 John Soan of Burtee Precinct in Albemarle County in North Carolina, but now in Virginia of one part and Tarlton Woodson of Henrico County of Virginia . . . for £10 sells said Woodson tract of land in Henrico on south side of James, bounded on lands of Robert Elam, Dr. John Bowman dec'd, and others containing 200 acres being that land bought by William Soane, father of the aforesaid John Soane . . .
The Soane sale puts Elizabeth's land now in the estate of John Bowman, deceased, and the description of the land as adjoining Robert Elam's property links these tracts to the 1662-1672 deeds describing the properties of Robert Bowman, Jr. It also tells us that John Bowman was a Doctor and that he was deceased before August 25, 1727.

Of course Robert Jr. and John, Sr. could be brothers.
Charles W. Bowman in the introduction to his 1912 book[[#Bowman]]offered:: "In general, there seems little doubt that the Bowmans of Virginia and other states to the south and west are of common stock. It is a family tradition that the earliest ancestor was a ship carpenter who came with the first colonists to Jamestown from London, but this has neither been authenticated or disproved."

Nugent's book gives the following[[#Nugent]]* p. 97 2 May 1705 Capt. John Bolling, Edward Bowman & John Bowman 1146 Scres Henrico County 3rd branch of Swift Creek, Begin at Henry Poland North side of said Creek.* p. 102 2 Nov 1705 John Tullit, 17,653 Acres Henrico County, South of James on Bowman's line.* p. 191 15 July 1717 John Bolling, Edward Bowman & John Bowman 497 Acres Henrico East side of Falling Creek.* p. 211 9 Feb 1718 Elizabeth Bowman 50 Acres Henrico South side James on Fox Slash, adjoining William Clarke & William Soane.* p. 230 5 Sept 1723 John Bowman, Jnr 450 Acres Henrico County Northside Swift Creek, adjoining his own survey in Henry Powland's line, crossing the main road to Major John Bolling.* p. 293 17 Aug 1725 John Lavillian, 400 Acres Henrico North of Appomattox River, adjoining John James Florenoy on South side of a branch of Nutt Tree Branch; Francis Florenoy on North side of the Dumplin Branch, and John Bowman's line.* p. 300 24 Mar 1725 John Newby 100 Acres Henrico South of Swift Creek adjoining John Bowman and Richard Grill's line
Edward Bowman's will of 1722 made gifts of land on Swift Creek.
John Bowman's will of 1725 made gifts of land on Nut Tree Run and Swift Creek.
The abstract of Elizabeth Bowman's deed of Feb. 9, 1718 ties these land acquisitions to the earlier holdings of Robert, Jr., when read in combination with the following abstract from Crozier's Virginia County RecordsVol. II, Taken from Henrico County Deeds & Wills 1725-1737:* p. 134 25 Aug 1727 John Soan of Burtee Precinct in Albemarle County in North Carolina, but now in Virginia of one part and Tarlton Woodson of Henrico County of Virginia . . . for £10 sells said Woodson tract of land in Henrico on south side of James, bounded on lands of Robert Elam, Dr. John Bowman dec'd, and others containing 200 acres being that land bought by William Soane, father of the aforesaid John Soane . . .
The Soane sale puts Elizabeth's land now in the estate of John Bowman, deceased, and the description of the land as adjoining Robert Elam's property links these tracts to the 1662-1672 deeds describing the properties of Robert Bowman, Jr. It also tells us that John Bowman was a Doctor and that he was deceased before August 25, 1727.
