He was the son of William M. Bowker and Eliza A. Soper.

Since Capt. William M. Bowker Died Sept. 26, 1880, Aged 38 years & 7 Mo's, his calculated date of birth would be about February 26, 1842. This agrees with him being 8 years old in 1950 (as listed above), and it is reasonable to assume that he was born in Union Township (now part of Ocean County, New Jersey.
