GEORGE BOWERS was early at Scituate in the Plymouth Colony, where he was
a freeman 7 March 1636/7 and town officer. By the spring of 1639 he had
removed to Plymouth, and on 5 March 1638/9 was elected constable for the
whole of that town, although he did not sell his lands at Scituate or buy
at Plymouth until 1640. He purchased lands at Eele River of Governor
Winslow, who reserved the right of repurchase in part in case he should
himself decide to settle there. He was soon complaned of for not
allowing the passage of cattle, and a committee was appointed to lay out
ways through his land where they would be least prejudicial to him. In
1640 "John Barnes and George Bower," Richard Knowle's nearest neighbor
and his father-in-law, were given charge of procuring timber for the new
Colony jail. In Jan. 1641/2 a dozen or morePlymouth men contracted for
building a barque on shares, a sixteenth part each to Mr. William
Bradford, John Atwood, George Bower, Edward Bangs, and others. But
George Bower soon removed to Cambridge, apparently for the education of
his sons. His wife Barbarie died at Cambridge 25 March 1644, his son
Matthew died there 30 jan 1644/5, and his son John was graduated at the
college in 1649. On 15 April 1649 George Bower married at Cambridge
Elizabeth Worthington, who after his death married again at Cambridge, 25
June 1657, Henry Bowtell. On 31 May 1652 he was called before the Court
for voting when not a freeman of this (the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In
his will, dated 8 November and proved 30 December 1656, he did not
mention his daughter Ruth Knowles, but bequeathed to his wife, his sons
Benanuel, John, and Jerathmeel, and his young dauthers, Patience and
Silence. His son Benanuel married at Campbridge, 9 December 1653,
Elizabeth Dunster. His son Jerathmeel, a child by his second wife, was
born at Cambridge 2 May 1650.
Rev. John Bowers was schoolmaster at Plymouth and later (1653-1660) at
New Haven, whither he went on invitation of Governor Eaton. He
afterwards taught in other towns in Connecticut, and preached at
Branford, 1667-1672/3, where one of his daughters married and remained
and where Nathaniel Knowles (7) settled, the first of the Knowles family
of Cape Cod to remove to Connecticut.
