It's from History of Delaware Co., PA. "Joh Bowater, before he became a settler within our limits, had visited New England, Maryland, and Virginia as a public Friend. This was about the year 1677 or 1678. In the year 1684, he, with his wife Frances, arrived in Philadelphia, and after remaining there a short time, removed to Middletown township, in this County. As early as 1687, meetings were held at his house, which in due time became 'Middletown Meeting.' The consistency of this couple as exemplary members of the Society of Friends, was fully maintained at their new home. Their children were, Mary, William, Elizabeth, John and Alice. John, the elder, died before 1705, his wife surviving him till 1720. It is believed that his place of residence in England was bromesgrove, in Worchestershire, where he had suffered persecution on account of his religion." Next article--"Bowater, Thomas, was an early settler within the limits of Chester Monthly Meeting of Friends. In 1686, he married Sarah Edge, when he probably settled in Edgmont township. Their children were, Sarah and Thomas. His wife died in 1692, but in 1702, he was again married to Frances Barnet, a widow of Chichester , and in 1720 he removed to New Garden." Hope this is informative and helpful. Did not copy title page of the book, so don't know when it was published.
