8 Research Note: BFH 121 states: "The Sandwich Monthly Meeting recorded his marriage: 'Oct 11th day 1721 marriage solemnized between Thomas Bowerman an Jane Claften before melatiah bourn, Justeis of peace.' (Falmouth VR)." Upon examination, no record of this marriage is found in the Sandwich VR, nor records of the MM as published in them. The above "citation" is from the Falmouth Town Records and should properly read: 'october 11th day 1721 marriags sollemnized between Thomas bowerman an Jene Claflen before Melatiah bourn Justis of peace'. (see attached image of certified photocopy of this record from the original volume).9
She was living in 1751; Marriage of son David (952).
