The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography - Volume 16, Ann Arbor: University Microfilms (Xerox), 1967 - p. 310 Bowdoin, George Sullivan, financier, was born in New York City, September 25, 1833, son of George Richard James and Frances (Hamilton) Bowdoin. His first American ancestor was Pierre Baudoin, who fled from France to Ireland on account of religious persecution, emigrated in 1686, and settled at Casco, now Portland, Me. In 1690 he moved to Boston, Mass. The line of descent in through his son James, who married Sarah Campbell. James Bowdoin, 1st, rose to the first rank among the merchants of Boston; was for many years a member of the Colonial Council, and left the greatest estate that had ever been possessed by one person in Massachusetts, estimated at from fifty to one hundred thousand pounds sterling. His son, James, who married Elizabeth Erving, was a delegate from Massachusetts to the Continental congress held at Philadelphia; president of the convention to frame a constitution for Massachusetts; a founder of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and its president until his death; governor of Massachusetts during 1785-86 and a member of the state convention to ratify the constitution of the United States. His son James, who married Sarah, daughter of William Bowdoin, attended Harvard and Oxford universities, joined the American army in 1776 and served with General George Washington on the heights of Dorchester, and in the evacuation of Boston. He was many times a member of the Massachusetts legislature, United States minister to Spain under President Thomas Jefferson, associate minister to France with General Armstrong, overseer of Harvard College, liberal benefactor of Bowdoin College, the owner of numerous houses in Boston and county seats throughout Massachusetts, the North Shore and at New Bedford, and was the last male of his race of New England. Among others who assumed the name of Bowdoin under his will, and that of his wife, were the sons of his grandniece, Mrs. George Sullivan, daughter of the Hon. Thomas Lindell Winthrop. George Sullivan was a native of Boston, and George Sullivan Bowdoin, the subject of this sketch, was his grandson through his father, George R. J. Bowdoin, lawyer, of the firm of Barlow, Bowdoin and Larngere. His father had long been connected wit the best financial, legal and social interests of New York, and throughout a long and useful life George Sullivan Bowdoin maintained the family traditions of public spirit. He was educated in the schools of New York and at Harvard College. He began his business career in the financial district of New York City and at the age of twenty-five was in business for himself as a broker in securities and notes. In 1871 he became a partner in the firm of Morton, Bliss & Company of which Levi P. Martin was senior partner. He remained in this firm for thirteen years, when, in 1834, he became a partner in the house of Drexel, Morgan & Co., now J. P. Morgan & Co. He retired from business in 1899. He was married June 18, 1863, to Julia Irving, daughter of Moses Hicks Grinnell, a merchant of New York, and is survived by two children: Temple, a partner of the firm of J. F. Morgan & Co and Edith Grinnell Bowdoin. Mr. Bowdoin died in New York City, December 19, 1949

The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography - Volume II, Ann Arbor: University Microfilms (Xerox), 1967 - p. 419 & 420 Bowdoin, James, philanthropist and statesman was born in Boston, Massachusetts, September 22, 1752, the son of Governor James Bowdoin. He was graduated from Harvard in 1771, after which he spent two years in England, studying law at Oxford during the first ten months, and devoting the remainder of the time to travel. After a year at home, he again crossed the Atlantic, traveling to Italy, Holland and England. The news of the battle of Lexington recalled him to America in September, 1775. Though prevented by poor health from joining the American army, he heartily sympathized with his countrymen in their struggle for independence. Before the war closed he married a daughter of William Bowdoin, his father's half-brother and settled in Dorchester, where he engaged in literary pursuits. He became successively member of the assembly, the state senate and the state council, and in 1789 was a delegate from Boston to the Massachusetts constitutional convention. Mr. Bowdoin was for seven years a fellow of Harvard. In 1794 he made a liberal donation of money and lands to Bowdoin College, then just incorporated, and named in honor of his father, and never afterward showed a deep interest in its welfare, deeding it 6,000 acres of land in Lisbon, Me., a few months before his death, and remembering it generously in his will. In November 1804, he was appointed minister plenipotentiary to the court of Madrid, the special objects of his mission being the settlement of the limits of Louisiana, the purchase of Florida, and the procuring of compensation for spoliations of American commerce. He sailed for Spain May 10, 1805, and returned to the United States April 18, 1808, without having effected these objects. He was also associate minister to the court of France, and during his residence abroad spent two years in Paris, where he purchased many fine paintings and books, and made valuable scientific collections, afterward presented to Bowdoin College. At different periods he engaged to some extent to literary work, publishing anonymously "Opinions Respecting the Commercial Intercourse between the United States and Great Brittain" and, after his return from abroad, bringing out his translation of Daubenton's "Advice to Shepherds". He died October 11, 1811.

Hi All! I have started a Bowdoin etc. web page so far with three links. Only one link is done so far and I will get the others done hopefully tomorrow. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ruthptb/Bowdoin_Quick_Page.html The link I got done today was one that I put the 'portraits' of Bowdoin men (and one woman) and one Bodin. This way, ya'll can just copy them off the web page rather than my e-mail them to you. I accidentally came across a web page tonight that lists 26 known portraits of Bowdoin people. Listed are most of the artists and the current owner. Guess it is back to the library to look at art books again! The other pages so far will be two trees and two documents that I think ya'll will want to look at or copy. Is there anyone on this list in Boston, Massachusetts??? Their historical society has about three of them and two are at a place named Old Sturbridge Village.....I will have to find out where this is. Many are at Bowdoin College. One of the artists was a Bowdoin! Ok, it's back to transcribing. I will try to answer all the Bowden/Bowdoin e-mail I have received but it may be a little bit. Please be patient with me. Ruth

Ruth's Note: There are absolutely no references as to who the person is who received the corresponcence unless it is a one "C. Baudouin". No dates. All of the other notes previously transcribed and this letter must be after 1950 as the last death or birth date for any of the persons was 1949. As with all genealogical notes, one has to weigh the information and determine what is reasonable and what can be proven..... Copy of a letter addressed to me from M. de Richemond, archivist dept. of the Charente Infre. ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________ Dear Sir: I am sending you, according to Father Arcere, father Jaillot, the manuscripts of M. Jourdan and M. Delayant, the works of Mr. Haag and H. L. Bordier and my own research (I have studied the history of Dr. Ch. W. Baird), the authentic genealogy of the Baudouyn or Baudoouin Family since the 16th Century. It is not possible to go back further than the institution of registers of the Civil State of Francois 1st. There are some members of the Baudouin family on the Isle of Re', who, as far as I can judge or of your ancestry, but the fire in the archives of St. Martin of Re' makes it impossible for me to be certain, as well as the storming of the archives of Rochelle in 1630 by judge Bailly on the orders of the Cardinal of Richelieu. As far as connecting the noble family of the Baudouyns from Noue with the Baudouins of Jerusalem or Flanders, it is impossible. These large feudal families are long since totally extinct and are not in keeping with the Baudouyns of Rochelle. The oldest known Baudouyn is Jehan Baudouyn, the senior clerk in the town hall in 1245 (Baudouin manuscript). Finally one finds Guillaume witness to an act of 1283. Pierre, Father of the Parish in 1347, Nicole the procurator of Louis of Tremoille, etc. Believe, sir, in my devoted sentiments. Signed, M. de Richemond Research done by M. de Richemond: Father Jaillot of the chapel gave the name of Baudouyn to one of the manuscripts of the library of the chapel of Rochelle. This manuscript is a collection of annals which occured in Rochelle since 1199 until 1589. Father Jaillot believed this collection beloned to a Baudoyn, or perhaps was the workmanship of the same. That which determines this belief is on page 81 under the year 1245, after the name of the mayor of this year and that of his clerk. One reads the name of Jean Baudouyn Senior with these words, "It is the Pride of my Pride." Although the titles of the Baudouyn family do not reappear after 1245, only Pierre is again brought up, reference below. ______ Extract from a pamphlet on the Isle of Re' by Phelippot, former mayor of Bois - writer of historic publications (published in 1891): "One finds in the registers the names of Jacques Baudouin, Esquire, barrister, senechal (baliff in feudal days) of the Isle of Re', Lord of Maulinotte; Daniel, squire, Gentlemen of Prises; Nicolas, squire, Gentlemen of Bel-Oeil; Salon, squire, Gentlemen of Marattes* Rene, squire, Gentlemen of Fief; Jean, squire, Gentlemen of Landebexdaire; Pierre, squire, Gentlemen of Combe; Jacques, squire, Gentlemen of Ruisseaux; Jean, squire, Gentlemen of the Vallades, etc. This old established family of noble descent is today represented by M. Baudoin former tax collector of direct contributions in Rochelle." *(Two portraits of the Baudouin and Marates (husband and wife) are in the possession of M. Philipottas part of his picture gallery. When it is possible for me to won them I will take great pleasure in sending you some photographs. - - C. Baudouin) The Baudouyn family is noble, as it appears from the original titles. Nicholas Baudouyn and Pierre his son were named in the convocation of the nobility in the district of Aulins, held before Alexandre of Landaz, the lieutenant general of the baliff's court of Rochelle in 1649. The same Nicholas Baudouyn had been discharged March 17, 1634 of barons and retainers in the district of Aulins. Decree of the Court of Assistance in February 22, 1632 declared Nicholas Baudouyn and Pierre his son, nobles and descendants of a noble line. The ruling of M. Begon brought about on May 12, 1700 upheld, contrary to Beauval who undertook the enforcement of the declatarion of 1969, for the verification of the titles of noblemen, and upheld in the capacity of nobleman and squires, Pierre Auguste Baudouyn, of Noue. (Arcere II., page 603-604) ______ Note. One of my friends M. Gaston Lern (Chief Conniseur of La Mancha) who is a native of Flotte (Isle of Re') the native land of my father, gave me a gift some years ago, of a bible* printed in Rochelle in 1606 (by the heirs of Hicrossne Haultin?) upon which are written these lines of manuscript, here attached. Page 321 - "Saturday the seventh in the month of June, 1681 was born, at five o'clock in the morning, a girl to Daniel Bauldouin and Quaterine Boutet, who was baptised the following Sunday. Daniel Bauldouin, Gentlemen of Deprise, his great uncle was her Godfather and Catherine Gorget, her grandmother was Godmother. The Baudouin child was named Caterine by Monsieur Barbos, Father of our great God of the blessed vigil' White sheet - "The first day of the month of August 1651 at 5 o'clock on Tuesday morning Charles Baudouin was born, and his grandfather Marchant was Godfather and his grandmother Plantemore was Godmother. The second day of the month of February 1653 at 9 o'clock in the evening was born a son who was named Daniel Baudouin. My uncle Desprise was Godfather and his Aunt Marchant was Godmother. *(There is no doubt about the ownership of this bible, which surely beloned to my family.) Page 78 - "The saintly nave of God was blessed Sunday 23rd August 1648. God gave us the grace of ------- attended the first Sermon which was held on the Isle of Re' at the Heart of Saint Martin by Monsieur Barbos, Minister of God's word in 1015." (Illegible) Page 139 - "The 3rd of March 1691 God gave us the grace of having the joy of reestablishing the practice of our religion which had fallen behind and we read the news on the 11th of the 10 month, and Monsieur Barbos, on of our ministers said a prayer to give grace to our good Lord as soon as he heard this good news, and the following Sunday, we sang the praises of the young.."

I really blew it on the first part of the transcriptions on the Historical and Biographical Sketch of the Bowden, Bodine, Beaudoin - Colonial Settlement and Descendants. I misspelled a lot I noticed when I was looking it over. I apologize. If there were a way to delete the original posting, I would repost. Ruth

Example: IV. Frederick Bodine (Bodin) (1709 - October 1792) son of Isaac and Cataleyn married first Sarah Rappelyea. Issue Sarah (died young); Isaac; Sarah; Mary. He married second Elsie Bogert. Issue: John; Elsie; Catalyntje; Guisbert (baptized March 20, 1763). I was talking to a friend about the odd spelling of some of these names and since she is German and knows 7 different languages and has travelled all over Europe so I figured she would know something... Well, take the mother's name above: Cataleyn. Notice she has a daughter Catalyntje. My friend says that it sounded Dutch to her and would mean something to the effect of 'little Cataleyn'. Since some of the wives of some of the listed men either did not have a name or a last name, perhaps if these are your families, you might be checking into a Dutch background. All of this may or may not be correct, but it is perhaps a clue. Ruth

Addendum: The Beaudoin Family (Bowdoin, Baudoin, Baudin, Bowden, Bodin) - Part 1 Origin of Name and Early Settlement The name Beaudoin and variations is actually of Teutonic origin. It is the French equivalent of Baldwin and means "Bold in Battle:. According to legend, first mention of the name traces as far back as Charlemagne. Charlemagne compelled his widowed sister, mother of the Carolingian here of song and lay, Roland, to marry Ganelon, the Prince of Mayence, who was then created the Comte of Guenes. They had issue: Baudouin. Banelon betrayed the French Army and Charlemagne in the battle against the Moors and only the sacrifice of Roland who held the pass was executed by the French monarch for his infamy. Charlemagne ordered Baudouin to be killed, but the child was spirited away by his mother to Brittany where the noble family of de Baudouin grew up and lived. In the 13th Century, a Baudouin was made Duc de Brabant and to this day, the name was associated with that Duchy which even the present heirs of Belgium use as a family name. One of the first three Crusader Kings to succeed Godfrey Bouillon to the throne of Jerusalem was Baudouine. There was a titled Baudouin Family in Tours and another in Bordeaux, France in the 13th Century. A Beaudouin was in the company of William the Conqueror and was given a welsh Barony which exists to this present day, and was probably the ancestor of the Bowden, Bodin, Boden family of England.

As Pat already knows I am descended from Bowdens from Kinnell, Angus - most of them probably. I would be interested to know if you, Pat, have had any responses to your request. Haven't done much work on my Scots side recently due to being side tracked with my Husbands "tree".

Sorry about this mistake. There is no Bowden County, Texas! My brother just had Bowden on his brain I guess that day. The cemetery transcriptions were made by Rev. and Mrs. Gordon Miltenberger and they were in a large black notebook. Evidentially they had some Bowdens listed but he failed to copy them. If I get down that way, I will copy them for the list. Ruth
