Bowdoin, was the pro- prietor of Ten Hills Farm, at Medford, originally the prop- erty of Grov. Winthrop. He had a daughter Margaret, who was frequently visited at Ten Hills by her cousin, Sarah Bow- doin. Capt. Dearborn's orders required him to have an eye upon Temple, who was suspected of a correspondence with the enemy iu Boston. After posting his guards. Dearborn, somewhat fatigued, threw himself upon a settee, and wrap- ping his tall, mauly form in his cloak, took a nap. Soon Miss Bowdoin,... who had been walking in the garden with her friend, entered the house, and saw him as he lay there asleep. They immediately withdrew; but alas! too late. In that brief moment Miss Bowdoin had lost her heart to the ** splendid young rebel officer," as she called him, and told her friend that she must make his acquaintance. Mr. Temple was pre- vailed upon to open the affair to Capt. Dearborn^ who told him that, though only twenty-four years old, unfortunately for the hopes of the young lady, he was married and had two children.
