THE FAMILY OF GRIFFITH BOWEN, GENTLEMAN, WELSH PURITAN IMMIGRANT, Boston, Mass., 16.38-9, ESPEC/ALLY THE BRANCH OF ESQUIRE SILAS BOWEN. Born in Woodstock, Conn., 1722. By IJANIEL ROWEN (242.) J ACKSONVILLB, FLA, DACOSTA PRINTINU COMPANY. FAMILY OF GRIFFITH BOWEN, GENTLEMAN 'Honor thy Father and thy Mother. Not to arrogate a superiority over our neigh bors, but to fraternize among ourselves; widening the horizon of the home, and extending the vista of our past. To 1'"11 (l"it•c,\t-(15~nnbrnthc~, The prompter of this book, Esquire Silas Bowen, still livin~ in his " Records" and " Memoranda" thoughtfully handed down by him "for posterity to view." PREFACE. This little book consol1·s itself for its shortcomings by the consideration that it may dn fnr a beginning, and may seem to be better than nnthin~. Some who take it up will exclaim that it has no index; not observing· that the place of one is supplied by the tables with their g-cnealogical numbers. A formal index will hardly be missed, except by outsiders who peep into the book from idle curiosity, and for whom this serious work was not und<!rtaken. The writer would g-la<lly have: seen these pages lighted up by our best known foces and autographs. So. also, he would have been pleased to give place to many more sketches, especially of the departed: but he has done what he could. May the pen he lays clown be taken up by some one of ampler resources. CONTENTS. Pages.
