Eleazer Dowse was a master-mariner and hence called Captain Dowse. Judge Sewall refers to him in his Diary as attending the funeral of Governor Dudley in 1720, and speaks of him frequently. In March 1708, Eleazer Dowse and his brother Nathaniel were chosen to run lines and renew the bounds between Boston and Charlestown. The First Church has the record under date of 9 June 1706, admitted to Full Communion; "Mr Eleazer Dows [and] Mrs. Mary (w. of sd Dows)." Eleazer Dowse, like nearly all mariners, had little interest in real estate, except in his own home, but his heirs distributed his land by deeds among themselves.

Witnesses, Stephen Kidder, Joseph Rand, Stephen Badger. Proved 20 Aug. 1725. His inventory amounted to �1122 10s., a very large estate for the time and in addition to this, he had �720 cash at interest. The inventory was filed by (illeg., probably Barnabas) Davis, the administrator of the estates of Eleazer Dowse and Mary his wife both of Charlestown, date destroyed. The estate was divided to Jonathan Dowse, Mary Trow, and Elizabeth Davis. assented to by Jonathan Dows, Bartho Trow, and Barnabas Davis, 21 May 1742. (Middlesex Co., Probate, 6389.) The folder, 6397, Middlesex Co., Probate, called "Adm. Mary Dowse," contains only the Bond. "Jonathan Dowse Joyner, Bartholomew Trow, Cordwainer, Barnabas Davis, Shipwright, John Phillips, Gentleman, and David Edmands, Hatter, all of Charlestown," bonded 24 Nov. 1739, the two latter being sureties for the three former, who were appointed administrators of the "Estate of Eleazer Dowse and his widow Mary Dowse late of sd Town Deced." It is evident that the above inventory and division should belong in this folder rather than in that of Eleazer Dowse, or that Mary's bond should be added to her husband's estate. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||||
