He was a saddler
.
Thomas was born at Mansfield Woodhouse, just north of the city of Mansfield, county Nottingham, for all except the last three of four years of his life. As the third son in his family, he was probably bound out in an apprenticeship to a trade, and several early documents refer to him as a saddler. An apprenticeship may account for his relatively late marriage. Thomas was about 26 years old when he married Martha Barker at Old Brampton, county , Derby, England and came to America abt. 1727.

Two sons, Jordan and Samuel, stayed in England, while John, Thomas, George and Richard came to America. Richard, born ca 1719, believed to be the youngest, came to America in ca. 1746, (in 1786 he said that he had been here 40 years) while Thomas is reported to have died in 1731, in New Jersey, (one of the dates may be in error) The brother, George had seven sons, three in the Continental Militia, and four (including another Richard) were Loyalists.

The claim of Richard Bowlby is found in Loyalist Settlements 1783-1789 having been heard at Halifax, February 23, 1786, by Dundas. In it, Bowlby swore that he was born in England, came to America 40 years ago and settled in Sussex Co., West Jersey and lived there in 1775; he was a Justice of the Peace under the British Government. The report goes on to detail the property, both real and personal, which was confiscated and sold. (Savary says it sold for 5,580 pounds, New Jersey currency). His participation with the British forces in 1776, is detailed.

Richard came to Nova Scotia as a Loyalist in 1783, and settled two miles east of Lawrencetown. His son Abraham settled in Shelburne, NS., but the name is now extinct there. Thomas BOWLBY and Martha BARKER were married on 9 Apr 1693 in Old Brampton in Derbyshire., Thomas and Martha lived in Mansfield Woodhouse where their nine children were born. Though their sons Samuel and John were christened in their grandfather's parish in Barlborough, they were probably born at Mansfield Woodhouse where the other seven children were christened. A record in the New Jersey Archives show that on 10 April 1697, Thomas Bowlby, "...saddler of Mansfield Woodhouse..." purchased one 24th of one of the 100 proprietary shares in the province of West Jersey from John Hutchison, "...tanner of Burlington County." This was four years after Thomas' marriage, and followed the example of his father-in-law who had previously purchased similar portions of shares and held large tracts of land in the Jerseys.

Jordan Bowlby of Helmsley, Thomas' uncle, published his will 25 May 1714, in which Thomas Bowlby of Mansfield Woodhouse and Thomas' son, Jordan were named sole executors, and Jordan was named a principal heir. Thomas' second son, Samuel, became a principal heir in the will published by Samuel Barker on 9 January 1724.

A series of critical events, which suddenly and irretrievably changed the lives of each member of the Bowlby family and brought the Bowlbys to America, occurred after Samuel Barker wrote his will. Both Samuel Bowlby and Samuel Barker died about the same time in 1725, and all heirs of Samuel Barker found themselves placed in untenable positions by his long, involved will. Samuel Bowlby was to have been the major recipient of his grandfather's considerable properties in England and America; he was also to have had the duties of administrating the bequests made to his family and other heirs. In case of his death, however, all his portion and duties of the estate reverted in trust to Mary Bullus, Samuel Barker's niece who lived with him and who was sole executrix in his will. A manuscript on the Bowlby family written by Colonel Herbert Bowlby in 1968 has annexed the following letter, said to be a letter from Thomas Bowlby, Jr (7) to Jordan (9), son of Edward (8) and grandson of Thomas'(6) son Jordan Bowlby (7):

"I received thine, April 26, 1766. As to famaley, I begin at Samuel Barker, my grandfather, he died at Barlborough in Derbyshire, he had two children, a son and a daughter, his son John had a daughter married to John Bodon of Bandonfolds, she died and left a son and a daughter rank Romans, and this is he which now enjoys the land thee talks of, and all that can be of service to thee is my Grandfather's will, where he says that no papiest shall heir any of his lands. The daughter [Martha, Samuel Barker's daughter] was my mother and thy Grandfather's mother, he [Jordan] was her eldest son, when my grandfather died he left the Chief part of his Estate to Moll Bullos, which was very considerable, but my father and Bodon came to agreement with her, in the agreement Bodon had three hundred acres of lands in the Jerseys, is what Bullos means and the other land in Derbyshire and my father had all the lands and rights in Jerseys where Moll Bullos chose two thousand acres, and this is what Sam Bullos now enjoys."

This letter reflects two provisions in Samuel Barker's will that caused conflict. John Bodon's son was not to receive any bequest unless he were raised in the Protestant faith. Mary Bullus was to receive 2,000 acres of land in West New Jersey, but she married Francis Ludlan before 1730, and the land was in his name until his death; then by will of Mary Ludlam, 4 Sept 1750, the land went to Francis Bullus, probably a brother; next, Francis Bullus died testate, 22 December 1759, and left the land to his nephew, Samuel Bullus and his heirs. Parts of this 2,000 acres lay adjoining lands owned by the Bowlbys in Morris and Hunterdon counties, and was later purchased by members of the Bowlby family. The confusion over the land was probably not clarified until 1765 when the last lands deeded to Samuel Barker in 1680 were resurveyed and the record in the Bowlby name by John Bowlby (7), Thomas' (6) son and executor.

Two indentures found recorded in the New Jersey Archives further explain what happened. An indenture dated 13 April 1726 discloses that a meeting of all the heirs was held 8 September, 1725, and that an agreement was reached under the advice of Sir John Rhodes. The reason for the meeting and subsequent indenture was that Mary Bullus wished to be relieved of the trusts that had reverted to her as executrix at the death of Samuel Bowlby. The purposes of the indenture was to give the lands and all proprietary rights to land in the province of West New Jersey over to three disinterested guardians who were to hold the lands in trust for Martha Bowlby on condition that Mary Bullus was to have first choice of 2,000 acres which had been bequested to her in the will, and that John Bodon, Samuel Barker's grandson, was to have 300 acres in spite of his Catholic faith. This indenture also circumvented provisions in Samuel Barker's will that Thomas Bowlby was to receive no more than five shillings from the estate, and that Martha Bowlby's life endowment from the estate was all that she should receive. The second indenture found in the New Jersey Archives show that Martha Bowlby and her three trustees immediately sold all rights to the lands from her father's estate to her husband, Thomas Bowlby, for five shillings. This last indenture was publish 10 November 1726, and Thomas must have left England soon after, because he was apparently in Burlington, West New Jersey, on 26 August 1727, when he was named executor in the will of Josiah Mercer.

Upon arriving in America, Thomas immediately set about managing the lands formerly belonging to Samuel Barker, and claiming new lands. From Thomas' will it is evident that in October 1727, 1,500 acres in Hunterdon County were surveyed in his name. In a deed executed 1 September 1729, Thomas disposed of 100 acres, "...being part of 3,120 acres in the fork of Anococus Creek, formerly surveyed to Samuel Barker, Martha Roads and Martha Wright..." From an indenture dated 28 March 1794, it is evident that on 6 July 1730, Thomas Bowlby filed quitclaim upon 2,000 acres to Francis Ludlam; Francis Ludlam had married Mary Bullus, and this land was to satisfy the bequest made to her. Of the 100 available shares in West New Jersey, Thomas received three quarters of a share from Samuel Barker's estate, but deeds and documents after Thomas' death state that at the time office death he held on and one fifth shares, so Thomas must have purchased other portions of shares on his own.

Thomas Bowlby's will of 23 Feb 1730/1, gives all his property in "Old England" to his wife. Jordan, the eldest son, is no mentioned and may be assumed deceased at that time. Thomas stipulated in his will that his children, Elizabeth, Martha, Jane, and Richard were to receive enough land over and above the 200 acres bequested by their grandfather to make up 500 acres each in West New Jersey. Son John was to receive his full quantity of land equal with the other children. The land bequested to son George, who was next to the youngest son, was specifically designated as "...all that piece of land lying between Whipeny Town and Mary Bullus land Supposed to be three hundred Acres be the Same More or Less..." The inequity that arises in the bequest of 2,000 acres to Thomas, who was Thomas' fourth son has its own story to tell.

A difficult to read microfilmed document at Rutgers University Library shows the following: "Warrant from the Council of Proprietors...May 1749...to survey to Thomas Bowlby all that tract, a plantation lying on the Branches of the Rarington River, County of Morris 1,612 acres...formerly surveyed to Thomas Barker, dec's Gentleman, there being an agreement...between Thomas Bowlby and the Executors of Samuel Barker... by advice of John Rhodes, Mary Bullus...Thomas Bowlby and Martha his wife... Richard Eddy, Clement Snowdon, Garis Meakin and Robert Enn..." Thomas Barker was a Quaker wine merchant of London who became one of the 24 proprietors of East Jersey in 1682 under William Penn's administration. According to "Minutes of the Board of Proprietors of East Jersey," Thomas Barker received a Raritan River tract in 1690. After he died around 1705, the tract apparently became part of Samuel Barker's estate, which indicates that Thomas and Samuel Barker were related. In Calnek's HISTORY OF ANNAPOLIS COUNTY NOVA SCOTIA, in writing about Thomas Bowlby's son Richard, the following appears: "In an obituary notice a few years since, of his grandson, Adam Bowlby, of Ontario...it was stated that his ancestor was one of the twelve associated with Penn in the charter of administration of the government of Pennsylvania. I cannot explain that statement." If Thomas Barker were Samuel's father, then the Richard Bowlby written about in Calnek's history was the great grandsons of Thomas Barker, one of the 24 proprietors associated with Penn in the government of East New Jersey. Thomas Bowlby's son Thomas most likely received his maternal great grandfather's land, perhaps as a namesake bequest

When Thomas Bowlby came to America in 1727, he brought with him his third son, John and his two youngest sons, George and Richard. In England he left his wife, Martha, two sons Jordan and Thomas, and three daughters Elizabeth, Martha, and Jane. His fourth son, Thomas, came to New Jersey in 1744, and probably brought with him his sister, Elizabeth, who is known to have died in New Jersey. There is some evidence that Edward Bowlby, the son of Thomas' eldest son Jordan, also came to New Jersey with his uncle in 1744. However, the known progenitors of the Bowlby family in America were the fours sons of Thomas and Martha (Barker) Bowlby: John, Thomas, George, and Richard.

Malabar, with a Scottish lord, James Bruce, the 8th Earl of Elgin, who was then the British ambassador to China, and with Baron Jean-Baptiste Louis Gros, then the French ambassador to London. However, the ship encountered a severe storm, was beached, and sank in Galle harbor, southern Sri Lanka, on May 22, 1860. Thomas William wrote informative reports from China which were popular with Times readers, his report of the shipwreck considered one of his best.

Thomas William Bowlby accompanied them; however, they were captured and imprisoned by San-kolin-sin, a Chinese Tatar general. Thomas William Bowlby died at Tungchow on September 22, 1860, form the effects of the treatment he received in prison. He was buried in the Russian Cemetery, An-tin Gate, Peking, China on October 17, 1860.

The couple married on September 23, 1848 at Canonbie, County Dumfries, Scotland and had seven children, one of them being Anthony Alfred Bowlby, who later became a medical doctor and surgeon and was created a baronet in 1923. Sir Anthony's grandson, Sir Richard Peregrine Longstaff Bowlby (13), is the third and current Bowlby baronet.
