There is some interesting information about Adlord Bowd/Boude in the following article:
“The Inter-Colonial Grimstone Boude and His Family” by Francis James Dallett, F.A.S.G. published in the journal The Genealogist, Vol. 2, No. 1 (spring, 1981, pp. 74-114.
Here’s part of what it says - “Grimstone Boude ...is said... to have come to New Jersey with a brother, Adlord Boude, to represent ‘the New Jersey proprietors.’ However, these two seventeenth century Jerseymen were neither brothers nor of any other demonstrable kinship.”
“On 15 October 1687 Daniel Coxe of London, ‘Doctor in Phisicks, Governour and Chief Proprietor of West Jersey’ gave a power of attorney to ‘Adlord Bowde, late of Hertford, draper, now bound for Burlington as land agent.’ One of a succession of Coxe agents, Adlord Bowde, now of Burlington, merchant, secured for his employer in 1688 from five Indian chiefs three large grants of land on the Delaware River and Bay and its tributaries. Adlord Bowde, for such was indeed the spelling of his surname, lived in America but one year. His estate was administered at Burlington on December 1688 by James Budd and on 14 October 1692 further letters were granted to ‘Jane Bowde’, alias Scott, late wife of Isaac, the son of Adlord Bowde’, she being then a resident of Lewes, Sussex County, in what later became Delaware.
“It thus appears that Adlorde Bowde had but one son, who preceded him to America and died soon after his father. If the Adlord Bowde who was licensed to marry Mary Smart on 19 October 1686/87 is the same person, then Isaac must have been the offspring of an ealier marriage. Isaac Bowde had married on 15 of 7 month 1687, at Lewes, Jane Maude, born in 1667, probably in Wakefield, Co. York, the elder of two daughters of recent Quaker converts ...
“Isaac Bowde was dead by 6 of 7 month (Sept.) 1692... While there may have been younger English relatives of Adlord Bowde, there was no American posterity left by him; he is almost surely ‘my cousin Adlord Bode’ with a daughter Susan, named as legatee and overseer in the will of Agnes (Purser?) Kirby, of Hertford, Gent.’ dated 30 April 1662 and proved 9 February 1662/3.”
The Joseph Boude you refer to as Adlord’s son probably is not. He is the earliest Boude/Boud ancestor in America, b. 1635 in Eng. , d. before 1683 m. Elizabeth (Grimstone?) b. 1637. Joseph was an innkeeper in Boston 1653 and in Marblehead MA 1663-1671. His house near the Commons in Marblehead was sold in 1671. Their oldest son was named Grimstone Boude, whose brother John appears to be my ancestor.
