Hi Audrey, I found two listings under Bowne in the Sussex Warren history by Snell pg. 13 In Sept., 1692, Andrew Hamilton , who had been appointed Governor, arrived in Jersey, " and was received in a manner that removed every impediment to the re-establishment of the proprietary government" He appointed John Barclay , receiver ands surveyor-general, and Thomas Gordon resident secretary. on the 14th of the month he selected as his council Capt. Isaac Kingsland, Capt. Andrew BOWNE, John Indians, Raritan River, of Roycefield, Samuel Dennis, John Bishop, and Lewis Morris. page 111 During the battle of the wilderness and in turning Lee's right wing in the advance on Richmond the regiment did excellent service, and maintained its reputation for daring hardihood and brilliant exploits. In an engagement on the 28th of May, 1864, the ammunition of the men gave out while they were hardly pressed by the enemy. A new supply was brought from the rear, and Capt. Beckman was shot through both hands as he stretched them forth in the act of distributing ammunition to the men. Lieut Bellis was almost at the same moment mortally wounded, as was also Lieut, Stewart. Capt. Robbins was wounded severely in the shoulder, Lieut Shaw badly in the head, Lieut Wynkoop fearfully in the foot. Liuet BOWNE was the only officer of the First Battalion on the field who was untouched, and he had several narrow escapes. I also found a bio on Cyrus A.Bowne in Orange County, ny ( Orange is on the border of New Jersey) It said he was born March 16, 1857, He had a farm in Montgomery NY ( Orange County). he was know as a fine grade maker of butter through out the State. He was the youngest member of a family of 9 brothers and sisters, his parents being Cyrus H.(born in Dutchess County, NY) and Hester (Wood) Bowne. There is more on Cyrus and Family, if you think it is a connection , I will print the rest. yours in genealogy, Joanne
