note
"Anthonie Bowne of the Lime Tree in the psh of Matlock, yeoman," whose will of 1 Dec 1619 names his "youngest son, Thomas Bowne." Field: "there is hardly a doubt" that this was the Thomas who sailed in 1649; Thomas's own will of 1675 names "his brother John," who administered Alice Bowne's estate in 1634.

note
"my wife Ales Bowne," executrix with Thomas of Anthony Bowne's will, 1619; administration on "Alice Bowne, late of the Lyntree near Matlocke," 12 Sept 1634, to "John Bowne of Matlocke, yeoman, son of the deceased." That she was Thomas's own mother, not a stepmother, is not shown.

Father of John Bowne of Flushing. A shearman, or cloth-worker, of Matlock in Derbyshire (source), of the family at the Lime Tree (the Lintree), a house in Matlock whose lane was still called Lime Tree Lane in 1873 (source, p. 114).

Of John Bowne, Yarnall writes: "He was the son of Thomas Bowne, of whom little is known, except that in the year 1649, he, with his daughter, Dorothy, accompanied his son John on his voyage to Boston, and that he subsequently lived and died at his house in Flushing" (source, p. 45). Dorothy married Edward Farrington, a magistrate of Flushing who signed the Flushing Remonstrance in December 1657 and was arrested for it on 1 January 1658 (record, pp. 403-404). Thomas made his will in 1675, naming "his brother John," and died at Flushing in September 1677 while his son was in England with his wife Hannah, "aged upwards of 82" (source, pp. 113-115).

His wife is unknown. WikiTree's suggestion that she was a Ludlam comes from a novel and is not used. Field (p. 116) wondered whether the name was originally Bohun, from a resemblance of arms, and said "the author cannot say": unsupported.
