Direct Descendants of Thomas and Hannah (Annable) Bowerman
  • Birth*: Thomas Bowerman was born circa 1625 in Prob. England.
  • Marriage*: Thomas married Hannah Annable, daughter of Anthony Annable and Jane Momford, on 3 March 1644/45 in Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, Thomas was "of Barnstable" at the time of marriage.1,2,3
  • Marr-Alt: Thomas and Hannah Annable have also been reported to have married on 10 March 1644/45 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.4
  • Marr-Alt: Thomas and Hannah Annable have also been reported to have married on 1 March 1645/46 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.5,3
  • Death*: Thomas Bowerman died before 1 June 1663 in Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.6,7
  • Probate*: His estate was probated on 4 June 1663 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, Anthony Annable and William Crocker were appointed by the court to administer Thomas' estate on 01 Jun 1663.8
  • Arms List*: Thomas appeared on a list of those able to bear arms in August 1643 in Plymouth and was of Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, USA, this being the earliest proven record positively identifying "our Thomas". See atached discussion from "The Great Migration Begins.9,10,11,12"
  • Research Notes: Research Note:  If Otis (GNBF) was correct, the eleven young men named were at least 16 years old and "able to bear arms" in August, 1643, but not yet twenty-one years old "of legal age" the following January 1643/44 meaning that they were not old enough to appear on the list of "Townsmen" of that date. This would mean that all eleven men were born between approx. 1623 and 1627.
         It should further be noted that it has not been reliably proven that "our" Thomas Boreman ever achived the rank of "Townsman" or "freeman". His name cannot be reliably shown to appear on any of the lists of "freemen" now extant for Massachusetts. Several things could have disqualified a man such as refusal to take the oath of fidelity, refusing to join the established church, etc.13
  • Name Variation: As of August 1643, Thomas was also known as Thomas Boreman the name being written as such on the Arms List.12,7
  • Name Variation: As of 1 March 1644/45, Thomas was also known as Thomas Burman.3
  • (Witness) Marriage: He witnessed the marriage of Anne Clark and Anthony Annable on 3 March 1644/45 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England; in a double wedding with his daughter Hannah #2.14
  • Residence*: Thomas Bowerman and Hannah lived at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, between 1643 and 1663 "in the west part of the town (Barnstable), on the south side of the cove of meadow at the head of Bridge Creek."15,16
  • Appointment*: Thomas Bowerman was appointed in 1648 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, as a "Surveyor of Highways." This simply meant that he checked the local roads for disrepair... he did NOT "Survey" them as we know the term today.13,7
  • Jury*: He was a jury member in 1650 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England, Grand Juror.7,17
  • Appointed: Thomas and Henry Bourne were appointed on 8 June 1655 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, as "Surveyor of Highways."18
  • LandTrans*: Thomas Bowerman and Anthony Annable were authorized by the Plymouth Colony Court to purchase lands, along with Mr John Howland, Isacke Robinson, Capt. Nathaniel Thomas, Samuel Fuller, Abraham Pierse, and Peter Blossom. on 4 June 1661 at "Saconesset", Falmouth, Barnstable Co., MA, USA.19,20
  • Research Notes*: Research Note:   Russell A. Lovell, Jr., curator of the Sandwich Archives and historical Center, published an article in issue #8 of the "Bowerman Family Newsletter" [BFN 8, article #134], in which he shows Thomas as being "on a committee to buy Indian land" and cited PCR III:216 as his source. Upon examination of this record, it is found that Thomas was a "petitioner" for lands in the "Saconesset" (now Falmouth) area. The "committee" was actually comprised of Mr. Thomas Hinckley, Richard Bourne, and Nathaniel Bacon, who were acting on behalf of the other purchasers.

    NOTE: "Namasket" became Middleborough in 1669, and is the commonly held location of this land, although the family never settled on it. "Namassakeesett", which joined Duxbury in 1658, has also been presented as the "true location" of this property, although it's union with Duxbury 5 years before this event makes it unlikely.

  • Emigration*: He and Jane Momford emigrated before 10 July 1623 from England to Plymouth, New England, on the ship "Anne," which arrived in Plymouth about 10 Jul 1623.16,17
  • Research Notes*: Research Note:  It should be noted here that because of this early research error, Hannah, the daughter of Anthony, is often recorded as being born in England. Later evidences, naming her as a first-born child of Plymouth, have disproven this. See Hannah Annable, (#2), for details.
  • Research Notes: Research Note:  "Isaac Allerton negotiated in England an agreement dated 26 Oct 1626 between the adventurers and himself as "one of the planters resident at Plymouth aforesaid, assigned, and sent over as agent for the rest of the planters ther," whereby the Adventurers for £1800 sold to the planters, later known as the Purchasers, all the "said stocks, shares, lands, marchandise, and chattles" which had belonged to the Adventurers (Bradford [Ford] 2:4). The list we have of the Purchasers is from PCR 2:177 and was obviously compiled sometime after the 1626 agreement, for Richard Warren died in 1628, and his wife replaced him on the list, and John Billington was hanged in 1630, and his share is represented on the list by his surname only. Though the following year the fifty-eight Purchasers in turn assigned both the shares in the company and the debt to the eight Plymouth and four London Undertakers, the list of Purchasers continued to be an important one for, in general, these people were privileged above all others in future land grants in the colony."

"Goodman" was the prefix of those who had not attained to any dignity. Their wives were addressed as "Goodwife". Mister or Master was the title of dignity, awarded to magistrates, ministers, doctors, etc. and their wives were called "Mistress". Military titles were the most highly prized, except of course by the Quakers who did not believe in war to settle disputes. These title were rigidly enforced in early colonial times and were one of the reasons the early Quakers were ostracized for these early Quakers refused to use or acknowledge such titles.23

"A Thomas and Mary Bowerman, as well as a Hannah Bowerman, signed the marriage record of Obadiah Butler and Hannah Gifford on 14d Sept 1732 [citing SMM]. This may well have been Thomas (2) Bowerman and his wife, Mary. However, it could have been Thomas' son, Thomas (3) Bowerman Junr. who would have been 33 years old at the time. As there were several Hannah Bowerman's living at the time it is difficult to say exactly who the Hannah was."

    Further research into the above mentioned record should be performed.47

At the same meeting the town made choice of nine men "to consider of a suitable sum of money for his encouragement which gentlemen have agreed to give Mr. Palmer £200 settlement to be paid in four years at £50 per year in bills of credit with 90 pounds salary for the four years, and afterwards, £100 per year so long as he shall remain the town's minister, and if the money should still grow worse, we will raise in proportion, and if it should grow better, then to raise in proportion." A committee was appointed to lay these proposals before Mr. Palmer. The following persons being Quakers dissented from these doings and entered their protest on the town's book of records.
