Wife of John in Long Island, New England ...40 years ...OS dating∼"She was interred in the "Friends" burial-place in Chequer Alley, Bunhill Fields ; but her grave is undistinguished by any stone or monument." (Source: The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Volume 11 (1880), page 24). This is not to be confused with Bunhill Fields Burial Ground, which is located across the street from Quaker Gardens. The identification of the burial in the "Friends" burial place identifies it as the site now known as Quaker Gardens. The Quaker burial ground was also, at times, referred to as Bunhill Fields. All that remains of the Quaker burial site is a public garden, Quaker Gardens, managed by the London Borough of Islington.
Graves in the Quaker Burying Ground were not individually marked with monuments or gravestones. The only exception was a small tablet on the wall, simply inscribed "G. F.", in commemoration of George Fox (1624–1691), one of the founders of the Quaker movement.
Her burial in this cemetery site was recorded in a contemporary burial register (England and Wales, Quaker Birth, Marriage, and Death Registers (1578-1837); London, Middlesex, Piece 0499. Quarterly Meeting of London and Middlesex: Burials (1661-1700), page 308).
Hannah Feake was a daughter of Robert Feake and Elizabeth Fones. As a child, she lived in [Old] Greenwich in 1640, in New London in 1648, in Flushing in 1649 and in Hell Gate in 1652.
She married John Bowne on 7 May 1656 in Vlissingen, New Netherland (present-day Flushing, Queens County, New York).
She was described in her husband's journal as "outwardly beautiful and amiable".
She became convinced of Quakerism early in life and became a member of the Society of Friends, who at the time conducted their meetings in the woods. She played an influential role in her husband's adoption of the faith.
Quaker minister in 1675.
A "true and tender mother" of ten children.
Mrs. Hannah Bowne died on her second missionary trip to England, at the home of John and Mary Elson, who lived at the Sign of the Peel in Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England, on 31 January 1678.
