He married before 1743 ISABELLA (___), who died 4 Sept. 1745. He was published to marry, 27 Sept. 1746, ELIZABETH SEWALL but probably died too soon to fulfill his intention. Samuel Dowse left no children, but his will and inventory are so interesting that they have been included here and he is, therefore, carried forward as a head of a family. It is possible that his wife was English, as there seems no clue to her or her aunt mentioned in his will. He was an important and wealthy man. In 1722 he was probably the only surviving heir of his mother and bought from two of the heirs of his grandfather, Samuel Ballard, their share of his property. We John Pomroy of Boston . . . Mariner and Lydia his wife and Ebenezer Thornton of Boston . . . shipwright and Elizabeth his wife (which said Lydia and Elizabeth are two of the Grandchildren and heirs of Samuel Ballard late of Charlestown . . . shipwright deced) for . . . the Sum of Forty-Six pounds . . . paid by Samuel Dowse of Charlestown . . . Gentlm. another of the grandchildren of the sd Samll Ballard . . . Do . . . Quitclaim unto the sd Samll Dowse All our Right . . . in . . . that certain Dwelling house and land whereof the said Samll Ballard dyed seized . . . lying in Charlestown, 19 Feb. 1722.
