Born at Locust Grove in Prince George's County, Maryland on January 29, 1776 to Walter Bowie and Mary (Brooks) Bowie,[1][2] William Bowie was the only member of his family who did not engage in politics. He was appointed Justice of the Peace from 1808 to 1810 and became a member of the Levy Court in 1820.[1]
In 1825, Bowie was selected by Joseph Kent, governor of Maryland at that time, to be a delegate to the state convention to charter the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal.[1]
He married Kitty Beans Duckett and had several children including William Duckett Bowie and Walter Baruch Bowie.[1]
