Abraham Bowdish was the son of Joseph Bowdish and Anna Ayres, who were both originally from Rhode Island. Abraham was born in Preston, New London Co, Connecticut on December 30, 1723. He married Hannah Reynolds on December 20, 1745 in Preston. The couple later moved to Pownal, Vermont.
Abraham served from July 6 to December 8, 1780 in the Vermont Militia during the American Revolution (DAR Ancestor #A012645, NSSAR Ancestor #42738). He was a private in Captain Seelye's Company of Alarm Men under Colonel Samuel Herrick.
Shortly after the Revolutionary War, Abraham and Hannah moved to Otsego County, New York. There, Abraham was evidently a farmer. He and Hannah had six children (William, Joseph, Sarah, John, Lucy and Asa). He died on March 3, 1814.
Abraham 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.
