Hi Pat, my line hooks up with William Bowen whom you have born in 1730. Married Catherine Van Antwerp. The info I have agrees with you except that I have William born 13 Oct 1734. He and Catherine had the following children: Abraham, Thomas, Peggy Bradshw, William, Victor, Cornelia, Anjeltje (Ann) Unger, Petrus (Pieter), Daniel and JOhn. Most are listed in Catherine's will. Will of Catherine Bowen, written 30 Sept 1817: `.....first I give and bequest unto my beloved daughter, Ann Unger, the sum of 10 pounds currency out of my estate. I do also give and bequeath to my eldest son, William Bowen, the sum of 6 pounds currency. I also give and I bequeath unto my two younger sons, John and Abraham Bowen, 5 pounds each. I do also give and bequeath unto my youngest daughter, Peggy Branshaw (sic), the sum of 3 pounds currency. I also give and bequeath unto my grandchildren of my son, Victor Bowen, each the sum of 5 shillings, which several legacies or sums of money`. .....son, John was executor. She listed the following children, Ann, John, Abraham, Peggy, Victor (his children). At the end she wrote that the remainder of her estate be divided between the children and for Ann, John and Abraham `think proper to give to my son, Daniel Bowen anything out of my estate they may`. Will proved 29 April 1818. She does not mention Pieter but this info from Schenectady history does. Perhaps this will help you. http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/families/firstsettlers/a_bo.html Genealogies of the Descendants of the First Settlers of Schenectady: Abeel to Boyd [This information is from Contributions for the Genealogies of the Descendants of the First Settlers of the Patent and City of Schenectady, from 1662 to 1800 by Jonathan Pearson (Albany, NY: J.
