Elizabeth Mulkins was born in Preston, Connecticut, the daughter of John Mulkins Jr and Ruth (Butler) Mulkins. She married Asa Bowdish on April 15, 1779 in Preston.

The couple had 10 children including Sarah (1780-1780), Amey (1781-1782), John Reynolds (1784-1847), Lucy (1786-), Hannah (1789-), Asa (1791-1854), James (1794 -1839), William (1795-), Joseph (1796-) and Stephen (1797-1860).

After the Revolutionary War, Asa and Elizabeth eventually moved to New Lisbon, Otsego Co, NY where they lived the rest of their lives.

Elizabeth's body is actually buried in the Gardnertown Cemetery outside of town of Mt. Vision near the junction of State Routes 11 and 15 (as opposed to the larger cemetery outside of town also called Mt Vision at the corner of State Routes 11 & 11B). Probably sometime between 1930 and 1950, the 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 Gardnertown Cemetery as the result of damage from tree root growth.
