Antonio Martins Bowen

BIRTH ABT. 1871 • Iguape, São Paulo, Brasil

DEATH 11 JUN 1953 • Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo, Brazil

Son of Confederado William Rankin Bowen and Anna Martins

Notes:  From correspondence with Helena Mills of Brazil:

About Georgina, I find it very difficult that she was born between 1845-1850.
As I already told you, she had 2 more daughters: Antonietta Bowen, who was a nurse in Rio de Janeiro, and Julieta Bowen. I have some clippings of Antonietta and will send them to you in the future.


Antonietta was born in 1903 and Julieta in 1905. It is impossible for Georgina to have produced a daughter at age 60 (Julieta).


What I also discovered is that her husband, Antonio M. Bowen, was criminally involved in the sale of land that did not belong to him. There was even a request for Habeas Corpus.


I know that he even sold land in Santos, which he claimed to be his.
I found very little of Georgina.

The surname Drane, as you may have noticed, was adapted to Drain, some spelled Drein, Dreim, Draine or Drean.
In the book "The American Pioneers in Brazil", by Frank P. Goldman, on page 110, it is stated that Ben (Benjamin) Drain, among others, arrived in Santa Bárbara at different times, from 1868 to 1890. And on page 126, there is a J. Draine (Dreno) as a farmer in the 1873 Almanac of the Province of São Paulo. In that year in Santa Bárbara d'Oeste there were about 50 families involved in the production of cotton, coffee, sugar cane, and tobacco.


In the book "O Destino (não) Manifesto", by Ana Maria Costa de Oliveira, on page 286, mentions Benjamin Drane and his wife living in Santa Bárbara d'Oeste with several children. The information is contained in "Dispatches from US Consul in Santos, 1831-906", at the National Archives, Washington, D.C., USA, Microfilm Roll 6, v.6, April 3, 1901 - August 8, 1906.

About George Drane, I believe he is Georgina's brother. The documents found about George's family here in Brazil indicate that he was the son of Benjamin Drane and Sarah because some descendants of George Drane were given the name Benjamin.
