LEGEND HAS IT THE NAME "BOWIE" ORIGINATED FROM THE FIERCE NORDIC WARRIOR "BUA THE TERRIBLE",
SELF PROCLAIMED TO BE THE ACTUAL SON OF THE NORDIC GOD "ODEN". THIS SITE WILL DEAL WITH ABSOLUTES, THAT
IS DOCUMENTED EVIDENCES OF THE ANCESTORS OF PRESENT DAY BOWIES. AS IN ALL FAMILY HISTORY WORK, HEARSAYS
SOMETIME BECOME ACTUALITIES. BEING AS THIS IS NOT CUT INTO STONE, AS THESE EVIDENCES SURFACE, NOW WITH
THE CLICK OF A MOUSE, RECORDS CAN BE CHANGED.
GENERAL CONSENSUS NOW HAS IT THAT OUR EARLIEST
KNOWN ANCESTORS CAME TO AMERICA FROM SCOTLAND IN THE MID TO LATE 1600's. ALTHOUGH THERE SEEMS TO BE
BOWIES IN CHARLES COUNTY, MD AS WELL AS PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, MD.
PRESENT KNOWLEDGE
INDICATES THAT ABRAHAM BOEY WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO ARRIVE IN CHARLES COUNTY. HE LIVED WITH HIS WIFE(NAME
UNKNOWN) ON THEIR ESTATE CALLED "SENEHS DELIGHT". THEY HAD A SON NAMED "JOHN BOEY" WHO MARRIED
ELIZABETH BRAWNER. SOMEWHERE ALONG THIS TIME LINE, THE SPELLING OF THE NAME "BOEY" WAS CHANGED TO "BOWIE",
AS IT IS IN OUR PRESENT DAY. JOHN AND WIFE ELIZABETH HAD A SON NAME "RHODI", AND THIS IS WHERE WE BEGIN
OUR TREK IN OUR SEARCH FOR ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS.
