  • [S504] Joseph Williamson, "Record of the Bowditch Family," New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. 50 (October 1896), pp. 436-438. The information in this article on the very early generations of the Bowditch family, added to the article by Harrison Ellery, seems suspect, and does not agree with later work published in the NEHGR or by Harold Bowditch. However, the information on William Bowditch (c 1665-1728) and his children, especially on his son Joseph's family, seems reliable.
