Second Generation

5. Anne NORWOOD was born about 1628 in England. I suspect that she was born in Bermuda, but have no proof of that assumption. It appears that almost all of the family to this generation were born in England. She suspected of witchcraft in May 1651 in Bermuda.¹⁰¹ The Norwoods III, p. 137: In 1651 she was accused of witchcraft and taken before Judge Joshua Foster but acquitted. She married Richard Bowen. They changed their name to Bowne and emigrated to America, taking Richard Norwood's Journal with them. They left two children, Capt John Bowen and Samuel Norwood Bowen.

Anne NORWOOD and Richard "Bowne" BOWEN were married.¹⁰¹ Richard "Bowne" BOWEN was born (date unknown).

Anne NORWOOD-1195 and Richard "Bowne" BOWEN-1204 had the following children:

19	i.	Capt John BOWEN was born (date unknown). The Norwoods III, page 137: Capt John Bowen, a notorious pirte who lived in Mauritius.
20	ii.	Samuel Norwood BOWEN was born in Bermuda. The Norwoods III, p 137: Samuel Norwood Bowen who went to America and had two daughters, Maria Bowne who married Judge Hathaway of Delhi, NY and another unnamed daughter. Census data has been found for a Norwood Bowne in Delhi, NY in 1850, so it is clear that Bowen had sons, too.
