Extract from 'The Bowkers of
Tharfield' by Ivan & Raymond Mitford-Barberton:
She was a
truly remarkable woman. South Africa has produced few to rival her
with brush and pen, and her knowledge of botany, natural history, and
entomology was outstanding.
In her youth Mary was the constant
companion of her father, himself an ardent naturalist, and from early
youth she displayed as innate love of natural history in all its
branches. During her roving life in the early settlement she had
ample opportunity for collecting specimens, making sketches and notes,
whose value increased with the years.
........For a time Fred learnt
farming with Dr. John Atherstone, Guybon's father, and a few years later
started farming on his own at a farm called 'Bloemhof' near Graaff
Reinet. It was while he was here that he married Mary Elizabeth,
daughter of Miles Bowker. As he was rather busy at the time, he
wrote to his fiancée asking her to come up and marry him in Graaff
Reinet, but her mother replied that if her daughter was not worth
fetching, he could do without her. This very soon brought him down
and he and Mary Elizabeth were married in the
Settlers church at Bathurst in 1845.
