This just part of what was written about Bow children. Sarah also had children w/surname
Overton. They are mention in the Overton Family section.
BOW FAMILY
1. Sarah Overton, born say 1713, was a "Mallatto Woman" freed from her
indenture to Edmund Chancey after being allowed by the October 1745 Pasquotank County
court to "go up the river to see for her age in a Bible there." She was the
mother of three "Mallatto Children," Bob, Jack Spaniard, and Spanial Bow, who
were bound to Edmund Chancey until the age of twenty-one years by the Pasquotank County
court on 12 July 1738 [Haun, Pasquotank County Court Minutes 1737-46, 32, 179, 186].
Chancey left a Pasquotank County will on 15 March 1753 by which he bequeathed the
remainder of the service of "Jack Spanyerd boe and Spanyoll Boe" to his son
Daniel Chancey and left the remainder of the service of Bob Boe, Rachel Boe, and Frank
Boe, and her two children to his daughter-in-law Rachel Chancey [Grimes, Abstract of North
Carolina Wills, 114-7].
