Ack. stupid buttons. Lambert of Isaac was apparently really named Isaac Lambert, guessing from Orphans Court. Elizabeth In a message dated 7/19/2010 8:03:51 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: The first Isaac Bowen died by 21 June 1816 when Isaac Marshall became the administrator de bonis non of Nathaniel Bowen's estate (Skinner). He was son of Nathaniel Bowen. He had one son Lambert. The second Isaac Bowen was named in the deed with the children of Elijah Bowen in 1834: "Esme P. Bowen and Mary J. Bowen his wife, Isaac Bowen, Peter bowen, Parker Bowen and Sally his wife, John F. Purnell and Eliza Purnell his wife land that Elijah devised to his wife and then to fall to his son Littleton" (the former sell to Littleton) This Isaac is not named with any wife and he is living in 1834. (JCH 1, 1834-1835 f. 0328). The third Isaac Bowen was this one: On 13 February 1832, Noah Bowen petitioned the court to divide the land left by his father Isaac Bowen. (Worcester Cty, LIB #4, Pt 2, PP1-11, 13 Feb 1832.) This Isaac Bowen was sold Goshen and Mayfields by Zipporah Williamson, widow of Stuart. She was one of the daughters of Rouse Fassitt. This Isaac Bowen is probably the Isaac Bowen with wife Augusta who makes a number of land transactions throughout the early 1800's. Isaac Bowen had a number of other children in addition to Noah. This Isaac Bowen is also the Isaac Bowen, I believe, who was a trustee of the ME Church and was part of the sale of a lot of Yorkshire to the ME Church: Dryden: 26 Aug 1803 Riley Bowen with wife Betty Bowen sold to Purnell Porter, John Scott, Edward Burbage, Jeptha Bowen, Eliza Bowen, Isaac Bowen and Samuel Porter trustees of Methodist Epis.

Eliza, daughter of Elijah Sr. Bowen who married John F. Purnell named in deed 1834 mentions her brother Elija's bequest to her. Eliza Purnell wife of John F. Purnell 14 April 1857 Whereas Elijah Bowen of the City of Philadelphia by his last will and testament dated 25 Feb 1853 devised to wit: unto my sister Eliza wife of John F.

Thought of one more possibility - Nancy the widow may not have been in such health that she was able or willing to continue being responsible for the property. There are probably dozens of other potential reasons for whatever happened. Elizabeth In a message dated 7/18/2010 1:34:57 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: <It sounds from the Chancery Record that Isaac the executor is deceased and his son Lambert is now the heir of Nathaniel. Isaac was supposed to sell and divide the estate after the death of the widow who has perhaps died by 1822. Maybe that's what this chancery record is about?> Could be. I've seen cases where the deceased is declared intestate with regard to a specific property. It explained that at the time the deceased made the will, he did not yet own the property. I also recall another one where the fellow devised everything but x amount of acres, so he was declared intestate for that portion of the estate. Isaac Bowen, the executor, was deceased by 21 June 1816 when Isaac Marshall was the administrator of his estate. That same day, Marshall was administrator de bonis non of Nathaniel Bowen's estate. These from V.L. Skinner, Jr.'s Worcester County Estate Docket abstracts. So either Nancy the widow was deceased by 1822 and/or the son Barnaby/Barnabas had come of age. The actual record likely would reveal this. As Elizabeth noted, it is hard to tell when using abstracts. Abstracts are wonderful tools but, as we all know, they should be used as pointers to the fact that a record exists so we can then look at the full record. Without abstracts we would be doing as I did many years ago--paging through either original libers or microfilm (unindexed of course) in a loosely calculated time period just hoping to stumble upon the information for which I was looking.

The spouse of Samuel Hopkins, a primary interest of mine, had a spouse whose given name was spelled "Tenot" in his 1741 Sussex Co. DE will. The only connection I have ever been able to concjecture for that spelling of her given name was "Tenant". However I never found a "Tenant" surname connection to support my conjecture. Maybe there's a better conjecture :-) Where DID the name come from in the above reference, and where did the Tenants (surname) live in the period (roughly) c1680-1710?

The influence of television (and radio before that) has also homogenized regional accents, not only here but all over the US and in Britain. I don't know about other places, as I don't speak other languages, but it wouldn't surprise me. Aside from all of that, there were regional spelling differences - my Vincent folk, for the longest time while in Sussex, were being spelled Vinson, even though they were Vincent when they were in Virginia and Maryland. Now, even the Delaware lot are back to being Vincent. None of this is helped when transcribers from somewhere else (such as Ancestry) are not at all familiar with the local names, and put what they see (or think they see). This just doubles the difficulty for us when we are trying to find people. Then there are the genuinely inexplicable names (if anyone can explain I would love to know) like Lewpinkster. Elizabeth
