From History of Wells, Vermont:
Bowe, Amos, from Middletown, Conn., was an early settler, and lived a short distance from Pond Bridge; he was twice married. By his first wife he had three children, Titus, Amos and Emily; Titus married Sarah, daughter of Michael Clemons, she died in 1821 ; he then moved West; Amos went west while young and died in Harmony, Chat- auque Co., N. Y., a few years ago aged 66. Emily went west where she married. By his second wife he had four children, Obadiah A, Abner, Rebecca, and Esther Ann; Abner left town some forty years since and is dead. Mr. Bowe was a first class scholar for those times. A lover of literature. In his religious sentiments he was an Episcopalian. He died in 1844, in the 74th year of his age. His widow and daughters left town soon afterwards.
In the Biographical sketch of Allen Lee Graves, it states:
...Francis Graves, the son of Nathan, was reared and educated in Rupert, living there until 1868, when he purchased a farm in Warsaw, Wyoming county, New York, where he was engaged in agricultural pursuits until his death in 1888. He married Esther A. Bowe, daughter of Amos Bowe, of Wells, Vermont. Mr. Bowe was a wheelwright by trade, and a mechanic of unusual skill, and the kit of tools which he used is now in the possession of his grandson, Allen L. Graves, who prizes them very highly, as he does the spinning wheel and flax wheel which his grandmother formerly used. Of the union of Amos and Rebecca Bowe, several children were born, as follows: Titus; Abner; Obadiah, who as compositor worked at the case with Horace Greeley, at East Poultney, Vermont, subsequently serving as proof reader, and eventually upon the editorial staff of the New York Sun; Betsey, who married a Mr. Frye, of Frankfort, New York; Vilas M.; and Esther A., who married Francis Graves. Mr. and Mrs. Francis Graves became the parents of three children: Emma C., wife of Francis Morley, resides in Kern, California; Allen L.; and Julia E., wife of the late Duane Bailey, of Rupert, Vermont. The mother early became a member of the Methodist church and retained that church connection up to the time of her death, at the age of forty years."
