Biographies

BOWMAN, JOHN (1763-1825), settler, came from East Lothian, Scotland, and was a carpenter experienced in building corn-mills. He secured a free passage to New South Wales on the recommendation of Sir Joseph Banks and arrived in the Barwell in May 1798 accompanied by his Cornish wife Honor, née Honey, a son and a daughter. He was granted 100 acres (40 ha) at the Hawkesbury and, apparently pleased by his new surroundings, urged his brother William to migrate to the colony. William reached Port Jackson in the Nile in December 1801 with his son, William Bowman of Bong Bong (1798?-1848). He occupied a grant at Mulgrave Place and died in December 1811.
