    Notes:

    . Extract of WILL of brother, Capt. John Bowne, Jr. , d. 1714 Sep 24, left to sister, SARAH SALTER all John's "plate & the bed whereon I lye & furniture."
    However, John Bowne proved to insolvent which caused the executors Richd. Saltar & brother Obadiah Bowne, to be sued to personally to pay John Bowne's debts. Legal wrangling dragged on to 7 Feb 1727 when the NJ Supreme Court ordered Saltar to follow proper rules for executors from time to time pay only what just expense are directed from the auditing of accounts & taking such other methods that are Equal & Just. (Paraphrased by PJA 2010.)

    Sarah Bowne's father is:
    . Original Settlers of Monmouth, New Jersey:
    CAPTAIN JOHN BOWNE, Patentee, was the son of William Bowne (q.v.) & his wife Ann. The writer (J. Stillwell), believes that he was born in 1626, but can give no record to verify this, the impression probably being gained from some youthful conversation with his grandmother, who had much to say about her early Bowne ancestors. He died on Jan. 3, 1684.
    With his father, William, he came from Salem to Gravesend, where, Sept. 20, 1647, he was allotted a plantation.
    He was the unquestioned leader in the settlement of Monmouth, &, at one time, or another, held all the important offices within the gift of the people or the appointment of the Crown. At the time of his death he was Major of the Monmouth Militia, the ranking military officer of the county. No adequate account of his activities can be undertaken here.
    He married Lydia, daughter of the Reverend Obadiah Homes, who long survived him.
    Their children were: Captain John (2nd), 1664-1716, who married Frances Bowman, & died s.p.; Captain Obadian, 1666-1726, who married, first, his own cousin, Elizabeth, daughter of Governor Andrew Bowne, & secondly, Elizabeth, daughter of Captain Cornelius Longfield, who was the son of the Dutch Admiral Van Langveldt; Deborah, who married Richard Stillwell;
    Sarah, who married Richard Salter; &
