Comment by Jay Moore, Jan. 2000:
I have a photocopy of the article, "The Bowlby Family. An Interesting Sketch of Traditional History by Dr. A. Bowlby" and attached to it is a note, written in a hand I don't recognize, appearing to be from someone from the family. In it, he or she has described a number of errors made by Dr. A. Bowlby, the author of the article. The first states "Adam Bowlby's grandfather was Richard Bowlby, not John." However, when I compare the dates, it appears logical that John WAS his grandfather after all. This will require further confirmation.

8. John BOWLBY Notes:
John Bowlby emigrated from England to Boston, MA. According to the description of Adam Bowlby, his grandson, he was the youngest son of a titled family holding entailed landed estates in England. Adam claimed that John was the only one of his family to emigrate and that the whole family of Bowlbys all over the United States and Canada at that time were descendants of his. He lived to be 99 years, 11 months and 20 days.
The article also referred to "Hannah Ray" as a sister of Thomas (therefore a daughter of John) but the handwritten note with corrections says that this person was, in fact, Nancy (Hawksworth) Reagh already listed in this family tree.John married UNKNOWN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
