This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about one surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect.

Name Variants: Bowman, Baumann, Bauerman from the German Bauer Mann for Farmer

Please add me to the Bowman Project. I have been researching my Bowman line since 1981, and trace back to my 8th great paternal grandfather, Robert Bowman SR (abt 1600-1671) whose earliest appearance in Virginia documents is from a Charles City County admiralty court proceeding circa 1657. Robert Sr. owned land in Roxdale Hundred, close by the Bermuda Hundred, southside of the James River, then in Henrico now in Chesterfield County, Va.

[email address removed] Robert Bowman, Senior, is the original colonist founder of a Virginia line of Bowmans settled originally in the Bermuda Hundred, then Henrico County and now Chesterfield County. One line of descent preserved the story that Robert arrived during the very early days of the Virginia colony as a ship's carpenter.Robert or his son Robert Jr. established a plantation known as Rocksdale or Roxdale by 1670. From this base the family spread to other parts of Virginia and adjoining colonies and states. Associated Virginia names appear to include GILBERT, ROYALL, SUTTON, SHERROD/SHERWOOD, SHEPHERD, VINCENT, PLEASANT, COCKE, COOK, FARMER, KNIBB, HUDSON, COSBY, FORE/FORD, McHAN, HARRILL. My line stems from William Bowman (1755-1808)and Mary Cosby who married Dec. 28, 1779 in Goochland County, Va., and who came to Rutherford County, NC about 1795. I am researching: BOWMAN, COSBY, MCHAN, HARRILL, ROLLINS, MORRISON, FORD, PASTEUR, RICHARDSON, YOUNG, SUTTLE, BAXTER, BERRYHILL, BRIDGES, HAMRICK, MCBRAYER, STREET, DELLINGER, WACASTER, RINEHART, HULL, ANTHONY, BEAM, REYNOLDS, KISER, STROUP, BLACK, VAUGHAN, MELTON, SMITH, HAINS, WHISNANT, and others. I am eager to hear from other Bowman researchers who might be working on this family or one of its many branches. I look forward to exchanging information with newly discovered cousins.

Please add me to the Bowman Name Study. My 3rd G grandfather was Peter Bowman (b. ca. 1775 PA - d. ca. 1808 ?). He married Margaret BOYER (dau. of Robert & Ann Boyer) ca. 1796. They had a daughter, Ann Smith Bowman in 1799 in DC.

It might be good to merge this space into Space:Bowman Name Study. The Space Managers would have to do this. A Bowman Project Redirect to this page is not showing up either.
