The Smiths were a prosperous farming family in Brockenhurst in the New Forest, based in a property called Careys, when in the 1790s Robert Smith married Alice Bowden. They had four sons (Nathaniel, Richard, Henry and David) who all had Bowden as an additional forename. Moreover all their children, of whatever gender, were given this same forename, as were the next generation. As the 19th Century progressed some of the family hyphenated the name, and so Bowden-Smith became the accepted usage, and it is that form I will adopt in this story.
Of the four sons Nathaniel, the eldest, inherited Careys, while Richard moved to a property called Vernalls in nearby Lyndhurst. David I have not been able to trace, but Henry joined the East India Company’s Bengal Army, and by 1833 he was a Captain in the 37th Regiment of the Bengal Native Infantry. This had only become a separate regiment in 1824, and was later to become one of the regiments which mutinied at Benares in 1857. Bowden-Smith was destined not to be around to witness that.
