Note on Husband: Richard * BOWEN
The first of the Bowens to arrive in America were Richard Bowen and Anna, his wife, who immigrated from Wales in 1640 and settled in Rehaboth, Massachusetts. They brought with them a family of seven children...four sons and three daughters. Richard Bowen's descendants settled in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia and South Carolina, and some moved on to the west.
In 1648 he was supervisor of highways in Rehoboth and served as one of the Selectmen several years and as Deputy to the General Court at Plymouth in 1651.
The Bowen coat-of-arms, a stag trippant with an arrow stuck in his back was cut on his grave stone in Rehoboth. He was buried Feb 4 1674/5.
