Alexander BOWIE
Birth: 14 DEC 1789 in Abbeville District, SC
Death: 30 DEC 1865 in Talladega, AL
Ten children
Alexander Bowie was born near Abbeville, South Carolina, December 14, 1789. He studied law; graduated at the College of South Carolina; was admitted to practice at Abbeville in 1813, and pursued his profession as a barrister in that town for a number of years with great success.
During the War of 1812-14 was commissioned a colonel of the Eighth Regiment, South Carolina Militia, and later commander of the Abbeville Nullifiers. Was several times elected to the State Legislature, and was a recognized leader in his party, when in 1835 he decided to remove to Talladega, Alabama, on his Ben Lomond plantation. He at once rose to prominence in his new home, and in 1839 was elected over Hon. E. W. Peck, Chancellor for the Northern Division of Alabama. He presided on the chancery bench with marked ability for six years, and was spoken of by the press of his State, as the "Great Chancellor." He was a trustee of the State University and was distinguished for his graceful elocution, scholarly attainments and independent judgment. In Garret's "Public Men of Alabama," he is ranked with the very foremost men of his State, and is also accorded the highest praise in Brewer's History of Alabama, who said, "few excelled him in conversational powers and legal ability, and none in integrity and probity of character." In January 1814, Judge Bowie married Susan Barnett Jack, daughter of John and Mary (Barnett) Jack, natives of North Carolina. John Jack, with his brother James participated in the Declaration of Independence of Mecklenburg, North Carolina, and James Jack was the bearer of the Declaration to the Continental Congress. John Jack was the son of Col. Patrick Jack, of Charlotte, North Carolina, and his wife, Lillie McAdough. He was born about 1700, and was the son of Charles Jack, and a grandson of William Jack, born about 1610 in Ireland of noble parentage. The latter became a Presbyterian minister and was ejected from his "living" for non-conformity. Chancellor Bowie died December 30, 1865, and his wife in 1868.
