John Bowles arrived in New England on the Ship Hopewell in 1635. The name is listed as "John Bownd" which I believe is a transcription error.

John became in Elder in the Church of Roxbury and he was one of the founders of the Roxbury Free School. He was also a member of the Artillery Company. He"was mortally wounded when he was run over by a cartwheel". His will was proved on October 5, 1680.
