BOWIE FAMILY.
RALPH BOWIE, a native of Scotland, was born about 1750. It is probable that he was a grandson of Ralph Bowie, of Edinburgh, whose son William was baptized June 27, 1702, and that he was related to the Bowies who settled on the river Spey, in Banffshire, early in the seventeenth century, for like this family, he was con- nected with the fortunes of Lord George Gordon, who in 1780, was imprisoned in the Tower of London for causing the "No Popery" riots of that time. Ralph Bowie, who was educated for the law, and was an intimate associate of Lord George Gordon, was with his friend, David Grant, arrested in 1780, by the Sheriff of Edinburgh, and searched for letters he was supposed to have received from Lord George. Bowie positively refused to divulge where the papers were secreted, claiming that though he carried on a correspondence with Lord George Gordon, it was of a private and personal nature, such only as two friends might conduct, and contained nothing of a treasonable character. The officers of the law succeeded better with David Grant, and intimidated him into telling where they could find the papers. This resulted in the imprisonment of Ralph Bowie for a short time, and brought forth from him a letter or card to the public, dated October 7, 1780, which was published in the London Courant and Westminster Chronicle. The article was a long one, in which he rather boldly affirmed his friendship for Lord George Gordon, but claimed that there had been no treasonable communications be- tween them; severely censured the authorities for his illegal arrest and referred in a caustic manner to David Grant's weakness in surrendering letters entrusted to him by a friend for safe-keeping. He signed himself "Ralph Bowie, Secretary for the Committee of Correspondence for the Protestant Interests." The entire article bore the stamp of a man of determined character and fearless disposition. It is thought that the treatment he received at the hands of the authorities so dis- gusted him that he decided to leave Scotland, and as soon as he regained his liberty, embarked with his wife and two children, Anna A. and John, who died young, for America. He arrived in Philadelphia early in 1781, and thence went to York, Pennsylvania, where he settled and began the practice of law. In 1785 he was awarded a "diploma," which permitted him to practice before the Supreme Court of the state.
