Biography

Joanna Stowers immigrated to New England as a child during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640).
Joanna was a daughter of Nicholas Stowers and his wife Amy, who immigrated to New England in 1629 and settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts. In The Great Migration Begins, Anderson reported an estimated birthdate of 1624, based on a deposition she reportedly gave in 1671 when she gave her age as 47. [1] [2]
She was married to John Burrage of Charlestown as his second wife. They were married by 1657, and perhaps earlier.[3] Several children were born to this marriage.

Birth

Born: About 1624.

  2. ↑ Some online genealogies state that she was born in Charlestown on 14 March 1621 or 1622; source of this information is not clear. This birth is not possible, since it was not until several years later that Charlestown was established and her father arrived in New England.

This person immigrated to New England between 1621-1640 as a Minor Child (under age 21 at time of immigration) of a Puritan Great Migration immigrant who is profiled in Robert Charles Anderson's Great Migration Directory (or is otherwise accepted by the Puritan Great Migration (PGM) Project).

Stowers-42 and Stowers-32 appear to represent the same person because: Nicholas did not have a daughter Jane. Analyzing the trees on ancestry.com show Jane/Joanna to be the same person.

"Great Migration Begins, Vols. 1-3", pages 1781-1782 names only 7 children of Nicholas: Elizabeth, Richard, Joanna, Sarah, Joseph, Abigail and John. Nicholas's will mentions "Jone", who is probably Joanna. There is no Jane. Several ancestry.com trees name John Burrage as the husband of Jane Stowers; clearly those ARE Joanna. A few others name Jane's husband as Henry Stacy. Torrey has his wife as Jane Unknown, so the attribution seems t be without a source. Jane's profile here lists a 1724 death in Charleston; I don't have access to the Charleston vital records, so I do not know if there is a source for her there or not. In summary, I believe this Jane was created erroneously, and should be merged into Joanna, or disconnected from the Nicholas Stowers family.

I will merge her into Joanna. Nicholas did not have a daughter Jane.

Smith-62120 Ellen Smith
Stowers-102 and Stowers-42 appear to represent the same person because: Same person. She is the daughter of PGM immigrant Nicholas Stowers, who settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts. She married John Burrage as his second wife. Anderson estimated her birthdate as 1624, based on a deposition she is said to have made. Her father emigrated in 1629, so she would have been born in England. Anderson says his place of origin in England is unknown, so her place of birth in England also should be unknown.
