| Notes |
- George Bowers probably immigrated around 1635, settling first in Scituate in Plymouth Colony where he was a freeman on March 7, 1636/7 and a town officer.
The family removed to Plymouth where he was elected constable. In Plymouth, he purchased land from Governor Winslow at Eele River. A complaint was brought against him for not allowing cattle to pass over his land and a committee was appoionted to find ways through his land for cattle to be herded through.
He was appointed one of three men to a committee to find timber to use in building the new colony jail. In Jan., 1641/2, he along with two others (including Gov. William Bradford) were contracted to build a ship having 1/16th interest each. However, he soon removed to Cambridge -- probably so that his son, JOHN, could be educated there, which he did graduating in 1649.
