• Notes

  BIRTH: Have various dates for his birth from 1585 to 1600. Vince Reilly claims he was md bef 1616 so birthdate of 1600 means he was married bef age 16. That seems unlikely. MD: William G. AYRES claims Ann/Anne is wife #2 of Richard BOWEN, Sr. and she is the mother of Ruth BOWEN (ch #8) only. His first wife is the supposed mother of the first 7 children. That would make Elizabeth ________? MARSH h is3rd wife. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> s79: P. 969 BOWEN, Richard (1600-75), from Wales to Weymouth, Mass., 1640, with his wife and children, settled at Rehoboth, 1642; dep. Plymouth Gen.
