Hannah Reynolds was born in Coventry, Connecticut, the daughter of John Reynolds and Mary Rude. She married Abraham Bowdish of Preston CT on 20 December 1745 and all of the couple's children were born there. These include William (1746-1818), Joseph (1747-1818), Sarah (1750-), John (1752-1813), Lucy (1754-) and Asa (1759-1813).

Sometime prior to the Revolution, the family moved to Pownal, Vermont. Abraham Bowdish served in the Vermont Militia during the American Revolution (DAR Ancestor #A012645). After the war, Abraham and Hannah eventually moved to Laurens, Otsego Co, NY where they lived the rest of their lives.

Hannah is actually buried in the Gardnertown Cemetery outside of town of Mt. Vision near the junction of State Routes 11 and 15 in an area called Falls Bridge(as opposed to the larger cemetery outside of town also called Mt Vision at the corner of State Routes 11 & 11B).

Between 1930 and 1950, her headstone was moved to the Mt Vision Methodist Cemetery in town across State Highway 205 from the Mt Vision Methodist Church. Other Bowdish headstones were also moved from the Old Burial Ground as the result of damage from tree root growth.
