Descendant Chart for Thomas Bowerman

     Thomas Bowerman was born circa 1625 in Prob. England.
Thomas appeared on a list of those able to bear arms in August 1643 in Plymouth and was of Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, USA, this being the earliest proven record positively identifying "our Thomas". See atached discussion from "The Great Migration Begins.^1,2,3,4"

     Research Note:  If Otis (GNBF) was correct, the eleven young men named were at least 16 years old and "able to bear arms" in August, 1643, but not yet twenty-one years old "of legal age" the following January 1643/44 meaning that they were not old enough to appear on the list of "Townsmen" of that date. This would mean that all eleven men were born between approx. 1623 and 1627.
     It should further be noted that it has not been reliably proven that "our" Thomas Boreman ever achived the rank of "Townsman" or "freeman". His name cannot be reliably shown to appear on any of the lists of "freemen" now extant for Massachusetts. Several things could have disqualified a man such as refusal to take the oath of fidelity, refusing to join the established church, etc.⁵

     As of August 1643, Thomas was also known as Thomas Boreman the name being written as such on the Arms List.^4,6
     As of 1 March 1644/45, Thomas was also known as Thomas Burman.⁷
     Thomas married Hannah Annable, daughter of Anthony Annable and Jane Momford, on 3 March 1644/45 in Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, Thomas was "of Barnstable" at the time of marriage.^8,9,7 He witnessed the marriage of Anne Clark and Anthony Annable on 3 March 1644/45 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England; in a double wedding with his daughter Hannah #2.¹⁰ He and Hannah lived in Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, between 1643 and 1663 "in the west part of the town (Barnstable), on the south side of the cove of meadow at the head of Bridge Creek."^11,12 Thomas and Hannah Annable have also been reported to have married on 10 March 1644/45 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.¹³ Thomas and Hannah Annable have also been reported to have married on 1 March 1645/46 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.^14,7
     Thomas Bowerman was appointed in 1648 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, as a "Surveyor of Highways." This simply meant that he checked the local roads for disrepair... he did NOT "Survey" them as we know the term today.^5,6 He was a jury member in 1650 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England, Grand Juror.^6,15 Thomas and Henry Bourne were appointed on 8 June 1655 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, as "Surveyor of Highways."¹⁶ He and Anthony Annable were authorized by the Plymouth Colony Court to purchase lands, along with Mr John Howland, Isacke Robinson, Capt. Nathaniel Thomas, Samuel Fuller, Abraham Pierse, and Peter Blossom. On 4 June 1661 at "Saconesset", Falmouth, Barnstable Co., MA, USA.^17,18

     Research Note:   Russell A. Lovell, Jr., curator of the Sandwich Archives and historical Center, published an article in issue #8 of the "Bowerman Family Newsletter" [BFN 8, article #134], in which he shows Thomas as being "on a committee to buy Indian land" and cited PCR III:216 as his source. Upon examination of this record, it is found that Thomas was a "petitioner" for lands in the "Saconesset" (now Falmouth) area. The "committee" was actually comprised of Mr. Thomas Hinckley, Richard Bourne, and Nathaniel Bacon, who were acting on behalf of the other purchasers. [See the entire transcript of this record at http://bowermangenealogy.net].

     Thomas Bowerman sold his farm, for £78 to Robert Parker on 28 October 1662 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England. He left a will dated 9 January 1663 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.^19,20 The will of Thomas dated 9 January 1663 reads as follows:

May the 9th 1663. The Last Will and Testament of Thomas Burman of Barnstable in the Collonie of New Plymouth.
     Memorandum: I doe make my wife sole Exequitor of what estate I have and shee shall pay my debts and performe my Will in delivering out such goods or legacies as I shall give to my children.

Item, I doe give twenty five acrees that is to bee layed out to bee equally devided between my daughter, Hannah, and my son, Tristram--the said lands to bee layed out att Namassakett in Plymouth Collonie, and the meddowes and privilidges to bee equally devided according to the quantities of that land.

NOTE: "Namasket" became Middleborough in 1669, and is the commonly held location of this land, although the family never settled on it. "Namassakeesett", which joined Duxbury in 1658, has also been presented as the "true location" of this property, although it's union with Duxbury 5 years before this event makes it unlikely.


     Thomas Bowerman died before 1 June 1663 in Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.^21,6 His estate was probated on 4 June 1663 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, Anthony Annable and William Crocker were appointed by the court to administer Thomas' estate on 01 Jun 1663.¹⁹

     Anthony Annable was born circa 1595 in England (date based on date of marriage).^1,2 He was the son of William Annable. He was christened on 28 September 1606 at Parish Church of Chatteris, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, England.
     Anthony married first, Jane Moumford on 26 April 1619 at All Saints Church, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, Jane of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, at time of marriage. This date has been cited incorrectly by BFH, the correct date from GMB and the NEHGR article is the 26th day (see NEHGR citation).^3,4,5 Anthony was educated before 1623 in England.⁶
     As of 1623, Anthony was also known as Anthony Anable.⁷
     Anthony Anable received a Land Grant of four acres in the Plymouth Land Division of 1623, one for each member of his household in 1623 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.^8,9,10 Anthony Anable , of Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England, in 1623 was attributed with having a Coat of Arms. The blazon is described as: Argent, two bars engrailed gules, the crest is described as being: A stag at gaze ppr.. This blazon is further found under the name of "Annabell" and variant spellings.^11,12 He and Jane Momford emigrated before 10 July 1623 from England to Plymouth, New England, on the ship "Anne," which arrived in Plymouth about 10 Jul 1623.^13,14

     Research Note:  It should be noted here that because of this early research error, Hannah, the daughter of Anthony, is often recorded as being born in England. Later evidences, naming her as a first-born child of Plymouth, have disproven this. See Hannah Annable, (#2), for details.
     Anthony Annable was listed as one of the fifty-eight "purchasers" of Plymouth Colony in 26 October 1626.^15,16,17

     Research Note:  "Isaac Allerton negotiated in England an agreement dated 26 Oct 1626 between the adventurers and himself as "one of the planters resident at Plymouth aforesaid, assigned, and sent over as agent for the rest of the planters ther," whereby the Adventurers for £1800 sold to the planters, later known as the Purchasers, all the "said stocks, shares, lands, marchandise, and chattles" which had belonged to the Adventurers (Bradford [Ford] 2:4). The list we have of the Purchasers is from PCR 2:177 and was obviously compiled sometime after the 1626 agreement, for Richard Warren died in 1628, and his wife replaced him on the list, and John Billington was hanged in 1630, and his share is represented on the list by his surname only. Though the following year the fifty-eight Purchasers in turn assigned both the shares in the company and the debt to the eight Plymouth and four London Undertakers, the list of Purchasers continued to be an important one for, in general, these people were privileged above all others in future land grants in the colony." [Source: Eugene Aubrey Stratton, Plymouth Colony: It's History & People, 1620-1691 (Salt Lake City, UT: Ancestry Publishing, 1986), Pgs. 419-420]

     Anthony Annable and Jane Momford were in the eighth company during the Division of Cattle, which included Anthony, Jane, Sarah, and Hannah Anable in 1627 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.^18,19

     Research Note:  In the early records of Plymouth Colony, Anthony Annable is occasionally referred to as "goodman Annable". "Goodman" was the prefix of those who had not attained to any dignity. Their wives were addressed as "Goodwife". Mister or Master was the title of dignity, awarded to magistrates, ministers, doctors, etc. and their wives were called "Mistress". Military titles were the most highly prized, except of course by the Quakers who did not believe in war to settle disputes. These title were rigidly enforced in early colonial times and were one of the reasons the early Quakers were ostracized for these early Quakers refused to use or acknowledge such titles.²⁰

     Anthony Annable sold his dwelling house, garden plot, fence, and "all the privilidges thereunto belonging" for 15 pounds to Daniel Ray on 9 June 1630 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.^21,22
Anthony Annable and Jane Momford removed to Scituate, in Plymouth Co. In 1632 from Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.²³ He and Jane lived in Scituate, Plymouth Co., MA, New England, in 1633.²⁴ He was taxed 18 shillings on 25 March 1633 in Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.²⁵
     Anthony Annable was appointed on 1 January 1633/34 at Scituate, Plymouth Co., MA, New England, to the office of Constable for the "Ward of Scituate."²⁶ He was taxed 9 shillings on 27 March 1634 in Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.²⁷
     Anthony Annable built a "small pallizadoe house" before 1 October 1634 at Scituate, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.²⁸ He was a member of a committee on "the trade" on 1 October 1634 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.²⁹
     Anthony Annable was appointed on 1 January 1634/35 at Scituate, Plymouth Co., MA, New England, to the office of Constable for the "Ward of Scituate."²⁶
     As of 8 January 1634/35, Anthony was also known as Anthony Anniball.³⁰ He and Jane Momford were founding members of the Scituate Church being numbered 4 & 5 on 8 January 1634/35 at Scituate, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.^30,31 He was a jury member on 4 October 1636 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England, of the General Court held.³² He was a member of a committee to reform Colony Laws on 4 October 1636 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.³²
Anthony Annable was on a list of freemen dated circa 1637 in Scituate, Plymouth Co., MA, New England, that was started and revised from time to time. On this list he appears in Scituate (where his name has been cancelled) and then under Barnstable circa 1637.^33,34
Anthony Annable was on a list of freemen dated 7 March 1636/37 in Plymouth Co., MA, New England.³⁵ He was a member of the Plymouth Petit Jury on 6 March 1637/38 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.³⁶
     Anthony Annable was appointed on 4 June 1639 at Scituate, Plymouth Co., MA, New England, to the office of Constable for the "Ward of Scituate."³⁷ He and Jane lived in Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, after 4 June 1639 [when he was assigned as Scituate Deputy to the Plymouth Court].³⁸
Anthony Annable and Jane Momford removed to Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, when contentions developed among parishioners over the correct form of baptism, with Rev. Lothrop and his supporters. Between 4 June 1639 and 29 September 1639 from Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.²³
     Anthony Annable sold "my dwelling house and out house and all my lands thereunto appertaining, viz: twenty-two acres, on the northeast side of the first herring brook, nine acres of marsh on the same side of the first herring brook, eighty acres of upland on the north side of the North River, and thirteen acres of marsh thereunto belonging." To Thomas Raulins on 29 September 1639.^39,40 Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 2 June 1640 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁴¹ He member of the Plymouth Petit Jury on 2 March 1640/41 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.⁴² Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 1 June 1641 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁴³ He was a member of the Plymouth Petit Jury on 1 March 1641/42 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.⁴² Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 7 June 1642 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁴⁴ Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 27 September 1642 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁴⁵ Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 6 June 1643 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁴⁶
Anthony appeared on a list of those able to bear arms in August 1643 in Plymouth and was of Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.^47,48 He was a member of a committee for the defense of Barnstable on 10 October 1643 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁴⁹ Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 10 October 1643 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁵⁰ Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 5 March 1643/44 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁵¹ Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 5 June 1644 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁵² Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 20 August 1644 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁵³
     Anthony married second, Anne Clark on 3 March 1644/45 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, in a double wedding with his daughter Hannah #2.⁵⁴

     Research Note:  Some sources, including Pope and Savage [NEHGR 9:315,317; Pope 19; Savage 1:59,4:674] assign a third and even a fourth wife to Anthony Annable. Amos Otis [GNBF] was of the belief that Ann Elcock/Clark's surname was difficult to read in the original document and was simply transcribed inaccurately by some, thus accounting for the discrepancies. Otis also believed that some published records were actually confusing the family of Abraham Blish/Blush and Annable. According to GMB 1:49-50, Anthony only had two wives.
He was a member of a committee to reform Colony laws on 4 June 1645 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England. Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 28 October 1645 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁵⁵ He was a member of a committee on taxes on 2 June 1646 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁵⁶ Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 1 June 1647 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁵⁷ Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 4 June 1650 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁵⁸ Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 5 June 1651 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁵⁹ Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court, with Nathaniel Bacon on 7 June 1653 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.^60,61 Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 3 June 1656 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁶²

     Research Note:  Anderson [citing PCR 3:99] records Anthony Annable being a Constable of Barnstable. On examination of the record cited, it is revealed that Abraham Blush was the Constable for Barnstable. Anthony is listed in the record as being on "the comittees that serued att this Court and the Adjournment thereof."
     The citation above should be modified to reflect this.
He was a member of a committee "that served at this court" on 3 June 1656 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.^62,63 Anthony was holding the office of Barnstable Deputy to the Plymouth General Court on 3 June 1657 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁶⁴ He was member of Coroner's Inquest examining the death of Simon Davis, the child of Nicholas Davis on 15 March 1657/58 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.^65,66 He and Thomas Bowerman were authorized by the Plymouth Colony Court to purchase lands, along with Mr John Howland, Isacke Robinson, Capt. Nathaniel Thomas, Samuel Fuller, Abraham Pierse, and Peter Blossom. On 4 June 1661 at "Saconesset", Falmouth, Barnstable Co., MA, USA.^67,68
     Anthony Annable received a Land Grant in behalf of his daughter Hannah, as a first born child of the Government on 3 June 1662 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.⁶⁹
     Anthony Annable was appointed on 1 June 1663 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, by the court to administrate the estate of Thomas Bowerman, along with William Crocker. He was a member of Coroner's Inquest investigating the death of "Isacke Robinson, Junir" on 22 October 1668 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.^70,71
     Anthony Annible received a Land Grant from the Plymouth Colony Court on 1 June 1669 at Teticut, Middleboro, Plymouth Co., MA, New England.⁷²
     As of 1 June 1669, Anthony was also known as Anthony Annible.⁷³

     Research Note:  Anderson cites PCR 5:20 as the source of this grant. Upon examination of the record, it is found that the court made a memorand in the record "that Anthony Annible be remembred with accomodation of land."
