• [S499] Harold Bowditch, The Bowditch Family of Salem, Massachusetts - A genealogical sketch prepared for distribution on the occasion of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Family Christmas Party (Boston, Massachusetts: privately printed, 1936).
  • [S504] Joseph Williamson, "Record of the Bowditch Family," New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. 50 (October 1896), pp. 436-438. The information in this article on the very early generations of the Bowditch family, added to the article by Harrison Ellery, seems suspect, and does not agree with later work published in the NEHGR or by Harold Bowditch. However, the information on William Bowditch (c 1665-1728) and his children, especially on his son Joseph's family, seems reliable.

Written on the third cover sheet is "A Present to Helen Maria Bowditch Upton, on her twenty second birth day, from her Mother. L. M. Bowditch. September 30th 1836." The marriage, birth, and death entries are on pages between the Old and New Testaments, and from the handwriting, it appears that the marriage and birth entries were made at different times, but the death entries may have been all made at the same time.
