This Bowe family had roots in the Alexander Bowe line in Masschuesetts in the 1650's. Then removed to Middletown, Co., removed to Vermont in the 1780's wehn Capt Daniel and brother Jacob Bow(e) were the early settlers at Pittsfield, Rutland Co. Daniel ran the tavern at Pittsfiled. later son Daniel Jr was postmaster and removed to Wisconsin. after 1844. In 1867, Louisa Bowe, a proable heir to O.? Bowe, and possibly Daniel Bowe jr. is living at Chittenden County, Vermont and has a mortage in her favor from Ole Olesen for land(in Wisconsin) she must have inherited or had an interest in. This land wasowned formerly by O?.Bowe and possible Daniel BoweJR. (now deceased). Daniel live across the road. Record search of any records in Wisconsin dead ends as a courthouse fire destroy everythingin the 1870's, including proabates and land records. An 1859 plat map shows this Wiscons land mentioned to be owned by O.Bowe and is right across the road for Daniel Bowe. Waht is the conenct? The answer has t lie in Vermont somewhere. Searching for a connection of Louisa Bowe and O.? Bowe. Who are they and are they related to Daniel Bowe jr? Possible that Louisa had returned toVermont if she ws married to O. Bowe. Wonder if this could have been Peleg Bowe, son of Daniel senior or John , both brothers of Daniel Bowe Jr. The last we know of either is they are at Pittsfield in 1843. John probably came to Illionios or Wisonsin but he is lost. Could Louisa Bowe be Seraph Bowe, who was supposedly a daughter of Daniel jr. We have only specualtion of her birth in Vermont about 1832 and no record of her death or migration in Wisconsin. My family has lived on this area in Wisconsin for 150 years, and only recently have the old doucments turned up with this transaction. Those doucment being a mortgage and a satisfaction therof, to Louisa Bowe. (Do not know if that is a birth surname or a marreid name) notized by A.J Howard, County Clerk, Chittenden Co, dated Nov 17, 1870 and Elmer Beecher or Bucher-Justice of the Peace who executed the docment signed by Louisa Bowe on Nov 15, 1870. The place where the justice of the peac was at in not readalbe, maybe Ninesberrys, Hinesberrys or Miinesberrys? It was fowarded to Wisoncisn and registered at the courhouse and then to anotherne of my family in Wisconsin, where it has sat in a box for 129 years. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You Rob Bowe
