Ann Bowater was a daughter of John Bowater and Frances Corbitt, both of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England.^[1] We do not know the immigration date for the family, but Ann's father probably brought his new bride to Pennsylvania and then purchased land. Ann would have been born a few years later, probably in Edgmont, Chester County, Pennsylvania Colony.

Immigrating to Pennsylvania Colony

John Bowater, Ann's father, was a Quaker. He was in America visiting Friends Meetings in Virginia in 1677 and 1678.^[1] He was imprisoned in London from 1681 to 1683 for his religious beliefs.^[1] In 1685, John Bowater purchased 50 acres in Edgmont, Pennsylvania Colony.^[1]

Family

Ann married William Chandler. The abstract of the will of her mother, Frances Bowater, (Book A, page 110, Chester County, Pa), mentions her daughter Ann Chandler.^[2]

Death and Legacy

Ann probably died before 1741, as she is not mentioned in the wedding record of her son, John.^[2]
