THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY
[OCTOBER, 1911.
He was twice married. On November 25, 1723, he espoused at Calcutta & Mrs. Sarah Hawkins. Eight children were born in rapid saccession, and then, on February 12, 1789, Mrs. Bourchier died, aged 35 years, and was buried in the churchyard of St. John's, Calcutta, where a tablet to her memory now lies embedded at the base of the Charnock monument. A year later (February 6, 1740) Bourchier was married (again in Calcutta) to Elizabeth, widow of Joseph Badman. A daughter, Arabella, was baptised at the same place in November, 1742, and the couple had at least one other child (William), born at Adjengo on June 27, 1745. Elizabeth Bourchier died in August, 1756, and was buried in the Bombay Cathedral.
Most of Bourghier's sons went to India. Edward, the eldest, became a Writer in the Company's service at Dacca, but died before completing his twentieth year. Richard, the Second, was allowed, while still a lad, to proceed to Calcutta . to be of service to his father there.' Charles, the third, may be confidently identified with the Madras Writer of that name, who rose to be Governor of Fort St. George, 1767-70; while James, the fifth, became a Member of the Madras Council. George, the fourth son, obtained a Bombay Writership, but died after about nine years' service.
From the foregoing sketch, it will be seen that Bourchier just missed being Governor of Fort William, and actually became Governor of Bombay, while he had a son who, a little later, was Governor of Madras. Sach a conjunction was surely unique.
