Alexander Bow, #7 on “The Dunbar Prisoners” List

Alexander Bow was born on an unknown date in an unknown location to unknown parents. Between November 11, 1650 and the spring of 1651 he was transported as a prisoner of war (following the Battle of Dunbar and the subsequent Death March to Durham) from Scotland via England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony aboard the ship Unity. On March 01, 1657/8 Alexander was granted 4 acres of woods and 1 acre of commons in Charlestown, MA. Other Unity men were also granted land in Charlestown on this date: Hercules Corser, James Grant, John Hamblton, and Edward Wyer. According to land ownership laws of the time a man must be free in order to own land and as such Alexander must have completed his penal sentence by this time. “Alex Bow” is annotated in Charlestown tax records as owning land next to Scottish compatriot Hercules Corser on 16 Nov 1658. Along with a Mr. Martin, Alexander was admitted as inhabitant of Middletown (now in Middlesex County, CT) on October 24, 1660. On February 18 of the following year “the towne gave to Alaxander bow two acors of swamp before the indian fort hill next to thomas hopewells land for on acer of medow.” Alexander is recorded as an inhabitant of Middletown in 1670 and 1673. On October 30, 1673 a premarital agreement was drafted between Alexander and his second wife, Rebeckah Hughes, in consideration of his “age and her youth” upon which Alexander made his mark (the letter A). Alexander died in Middletown on November 06, 1678. Probate actions began November 12, 1678 with an estate inventory of £144-19-09 taken by Thomas Whetmore, William Harris and Robert Warner and concluded almost 15 years later on February 23, 1693.

Children of Alexander Bow by first wife Sarah Unknown are:
a. Samuel b. 28 Jan 1659/60; d. 15 Jan 1751/2; m. Mary Turner15
b. Sarah b. 20 Jun 1662; d. 24 Dec 1754; m1. Jonathan Deming; m2. possibly Abraham Waterhouse
c. Mary #1 b. 18 Jan 1663/4; d 16 Mar 1665

Children of Alexander Bow by second wife Rebeckah Hughes are:

b. Mary b. 05 Dec 1676; d. 21 Mar 1737/8; m1. John Evarts; m2. Shubael Shelley
c. Rebeckah b. 19 Apr 1679; d. 29 Jan 1715; m. Thomas Stow

Battle of Dunbar and the Purge of "Regicides" are two reasons why the research on these ancestors are so difficult, causing much corruption in family trees, and erroneous data in their documents.
