Notes:

Hans settled in the Salisbury Hundred near the mouth of the ConococheagueCreek near present d ay Williamsport, Maryland before 1730. He received agrant for "poor land" near the mouth o f the Conococheague Creek onSeptember 11, 1754. He served in Jonathan Hager's company of Mil itia inthe French and Indian War. Research shows that Jonathan Hager's company did numerous hit and runraids on enemy and colla borators camps. They lived of the land and werevery hard to track. Out of 150 men, only fou r were killed in two years.The were reported to have killed almost 1,000 French troops and In dians. This was recently found on the Worldconnect project: John and Catherine Bowman were known to have built a cabin, near Williamsport, MD, where th e Conococheague River empties into the Potomac River, at Salsbury Plain, by 1740 and receive d a lant patent in Feb. 1755. The tract was named "poor land," possibly named for a German family named Purman, or as a colorfu l description of the land. They continued to live there until John died in 1795 and his wif e died ca. 1806. From 1740, the land actually fell in 3 counties: Up to 1748 Prince George Co ., 1748-1776 Frederick Co., and 1776 to present Washington Co. MD. The 1790 census, p. 23 of Washington Co., lists John's son Daniel. John and Catherine likel y didn't move at all from 1740-1806, living about 3 miles from what is now the town of Willia msport, on the east bank of Conococheague River about 3 miles from mouth of the river which empties into the Potomac Rive r. (There are) about twenty pages of depositions taken 1790-1800 about a lawsuit, and people int erviewed were John and Catherine Bowman, numerous times. Wolgamott's Mill was bought and sol d several times and someone turned the stream that led to it, resulting in a twenty-year-old lawsuit. In these depositions, Joh n and Catherine not only give their ages, but tell when they first arrived, built a cabin an d where, etc. Wolgamott shows up on several documents. I recieved this informative E-mail recently: (1) at least for all the work that went into documenting our first ancestor found in the U. S ., John Bowman and wife Catherine (2) their son named Daniel Bowman Sr born ca 1759....Tha t work is mine and I can cite the sources. There were MANY, MANY Bowman, Baughman, Baumann persons residing in Prince Georges Co, M d by 1740. That is where ours can first be documented. By 1746, Prince Georges had been spli t up and our couple now lived in what was called Frederick Co, Md. By 1776, Frederick also wa s split up and our couple lived in Washington Co, Md until their deaths. They had not moved m ore than 2 miles FROM 1740 to their deaths. A deposition made by John/Catherine in the 1790 s said they had built a cabin near Wolgamotts mill in 1740, moved the next year just 2 miles . Then in 1755 they received a land patent to their tract Poorland, located near Wolgamotts m ill (as stated on the original 1755 doc). The first one of ours to be documented in the U. S. was one of 3 couples in the general ar ea, each bearing the same name "John and Catherine Bowman". Our JOHN BOWMAN was born ca 171 1 his wife Catherine born ca 1711-1715. I have documented their approximate birth years fro m depositions that John and Catherine each (separately) gave, re a lawsuit over source of wat er leading to Wolgamotts nearby mill of 1740. They were asked to give testimony about it, sin ce they had lived there from 1740 forward. I have copies of these several depositions since t he lawsuit continued over 2 decades, in Washington Co, Md (1790-1807). The mill changed hand s over the years (changed names) but location of the mill always near the tract called Poorla nd. Remember the name Wolgamott, see below. Catherine's maiden name has never been documented by anyone and I r epeat, NEVER. It is believed she was a Sparling (as per Bowman family history written 1899 whic h I discovered a few years ago.) SHE WAS DEFINITELY NOT A LETT, this much I have proved....unfortunately, careless resea rchers who didn't take the time to research, grabbed on to this couple because it was easy an d they 'wanted' it to be true. I even traced the bogus Catherine Lett and Bowman spouse in Fr ederick Co, Md, at same time when our Catherine and spouse lived in Washington Co, Md. Likewi se our Catherine was dead by 1807 and the bogus Catherine Lett Bowman was not. OVERALL: Cathe rine Lett Bowman and spouse, are found AFTER 1776, steadily in Frederick Co, Md. I believe t hey were somewhat younger than our John/Catherine for several reasons. At the same time that the bogus John/Catherine were living in Frederick Co, Md , our John Bowman and wife Catherin e are found in NUMEROUS records, depositions and census, as living after 1776, steadily in Wa shington Co, Md., on their tract Poorland, near the mouth of the Conococheague where it empti es into the Potomac. Poorland was physically located in this manner: from the mouth of the P otomac, proceed about 2 miles northwards on the Conococheague and it was on the right bank o f said river....which is also at/near what is now Williamsport, Md. in Washington County. So there were the two couples both named "John and Catherine Bowman" living in different c ounties after 1776, ours being in Washington Co, Md. The same careless researchers also failed to find a third couple also named JOHN BOWMAN AN D WIFE CATHERINE. However, you would only know this if you studied all the surviving record s of Washington Co, Md which are considerable, and time consuming (can provide listing of al l the original courthouse volumes I've been thru). This third couple bearing the same name wa s a younger couple also living in Washington Co, Md, having kids when our John/Catherine wer e elderly. There was only one SINGLE INSTANCE of the name HANS/HANCE Bowman showing up and that wa s in witnessing our JOHN BOWMAN'S will of 1785, probated 1790s. Just one time. If you careful ly study census records and deeds, you'll find he was merely a neighbor and friend. There i s no evidence other than supposition that he was more than that. It is always possible that h e was somehow related, but he certainly wasn't a child of our John Bowman. LIKEWISE, there i s NOT ONE INSTANCE of our John Bowman OR ANY OF HIS KIDS being named Hans or Hance. I found records left by a Dr Bowman who barely scratched the surface with his research an d he had an ancestor named George which he called Hans George Bowman and he desperately WANTE D George to be part of our family. Unfortunately, there were no children named Hans or Georg e in the will of our John Bowman...likewise, when John's estate was probated, no children sur faced named anything other than what John's will described them. By the way, John died test ate ca 1795 in Washington Co, Md, left his land to his wife Catherine, UNTIL HER DEATH (whic h occured ca 1806-7) and he left his 2 sons, John Jr and Daniel as executors. Daniel is my an cestor. However, in the late 1790s (have copy of doc) John Jr turned the executorship over t o his brother Daniel, since John Jr was leaving Washington Co, Md where they had all lived si nce 1776 (and before). Daniel did not begin to probate the estate until his mother Catherin e died ca 1806-7, Washington Co, Md. THEN....he cites the Land Patent his father John had received in 1755 and gives exact boundaries and nearby locations o f the 1755 piece of land called Poorland. Have copy of the original Land Patent...and in it , the exact boundaries and nearby locations are word for word, what Daniel cited in 1807 Washington Co, Md deeds. I believe Daniel ha d a copy of his father's land patent of 1755 which he was reading from when he made the sever al 1807 deeds, dividing up Poorland, selling it, etc. Daniel was the last to leave Washington Co, Md., his brothers Sparling, Joh n and Aaron having left before him and these 3 ended up in eastern Tennessee. Daniel Bowman S r alone opted for middle Tennesee but kept in contact with those in east Tennessee at least until the 1830s. Two evidences of this . Daniel's son, Daniel Jr while living in middle Tennessee, married a relative in east Tennes see. She was Catherine Horn born ca 1800 the grand daughter of John Bowman Jr (Daniel Bowman Sr's brother). Those Horns were somehow relat ed to Susannah Margaret Horn, the wife of our Daniel Bowman Sr...but connection is unclear. W hat is known is it was not a close connection like one of Susannah's siblings, probably a cousin. I have also studied the chu rch records (2 different churches) where my Daniel Bowman Sr attended in late 1790s to 1807 a nd even obtained baptismal records. Daniel Bowman Sr born 1759 and wife Susannah Margaret Hor n had a first son named John (Sr), which I failed to see on your page. John married first, b ut did not migrate to Rutherford Co, Tn in 1808 as did his parents and siblings. He followe d a slightly different path...came to middle Tennessee (another county), did not stay long an d migrated again to Illinois. Some of Daniel's kids also migrated to Illinois but later, in t he 1850s, after immediately following the Civil War. Most of Daniel's kids remained in Ruther ford Co, Tn, one migrated to Louisiana. I am in touch with dozens of descendants on line and many more that are not. One of the m ost exciting discoveries after 8 years of researching was when I found the Bowman fam histor y manuscript written 1899. It validated much of my research for period of time from 1899 bac k to 1800, gave some data on the siblings of my Daniel Bowman Sr born 1759, but contained onl y sketchy data on his parents. I have seen the material on file in east Tennessee libraries w hich erroneously cites our Catherine as a Lett. It might be interesting for you to know tha t this material was printed without the permission of the author/researcher. I have been in t ouch with her (Frances) for years and she described how she loaned her material to another wh o took it and printed it, WITHOUT HER PERMISSION. She was upset for several reasons (I would have sued). One thing tha t made Frances upset is that she had not yet attempted to document the maiden name of Cather ine, wife of our mutual ancestor, John Bowman. She said freely, that she quickly found a cou ple that fit (in marriages) and made note that this POSSIBLY WAS OURS (John/Catherine Lett B owman). Now that her material is in print, it causes much confusion to others who stumble acr oss it. By the way...her material and research on her ancestor, Sparling Bowman IS EXCELLEN T and well documented. Another 'by the way'....Sparling's wife was not a HIXSON (if I recall, his wife was a st epdaughter of a Hixson). She has lots of documentation when she says that. She and I both hav e Sparling's pension papers which first gave rise to this Hixson bit. Once again, without documentation, many errors occur. Both my Daniel Bowman Sr b 1759 and his brother Sparling are already in DAR (I put Danie l there and it required 140 pages of documentation). All descendants of these 2 brothers ar e eligible for DAR or SAR. She and I agree as do all genealogist...if you can't bring fort h a document to prove something, you can't claim it. As Bowman descendants we are fortunate t hat western Maryland has such TERRIFIC surviving original records. I have collected nearly 1000 pages of documentation from John Bowman born ca 1711 coming d own to my parents. All have been microfilmed with duplicate copies of microfilm. I leave to the next researcher, the job of finding exactly when our John Bowman arrived i n the U. S. It is believed he came with 2 brothers but not proven. I have found half a doze n ships that arrived in the U. S. with a passenger name that could have been our John Bowman, arriving in the general time period w e think (1720-1740) but no way to prove which one is ours. John (born ca 1711) spoke German as did his son Daniel Bowman Sr. However Daniel (it is sa id) could speak 3 languages, English, German and ? It has been proven that Daniel could read /write English in the late 1700s up to his death in the 1840s. The surname was spelled BOWMAN in all the MANY records except one. Danie l's signature, with his/wife appear often in Washington Co, Md in late 1700s up to 1807...hi s name and signature appear almost daily at the courthouse n Rutherford Co, Tn 1808 until hi s death, and on his lengthy pension papers..he was prominent in Civic affairs, served in man y capacities at this courthouse, and one of his pension papers says "he was well acquainted w ith the Pres. of the U. S. in 1833, worked for him as an Elector in the past election". (And y Jackson's 2nd term) Andy was only a General in 1813-4, when he served in what is now northe rn Alabama, with one of Daniel's sons and a son-in-law. So assume Daniel had known Andy for s ometime, or seen Andy Jackson, the attorney who came thru Murfreesboro, Tn in the early 1800 s when it was briefly the capital of Tennessee. As he had in Maryland, Daniel Bowman Sr bor n 1759 always owned several tracts of land at one time in Rutherford Co, Tn but never any sla ves. Nevertheless, his grandsons all served on the Confederate side. Looking foward to hearing from you. Joyce (salterr@aol.com)
