Mary Bowser
Mary Elizabeth Bowser (born 1839) was an American freed slave who worked in connection with Elizabeth Van Lew as a Union spy during the Civil War. ==Early years== Mary Elizabeth Bowser was born in Richmond, Virginia, as a slave to John Van Lew, a wealthy hardware merchant. Upon Van Lew's death in 1843, his wife, son and daughter freed his slaves. They also bought everyone in the slave's family in order to set them free as well. However, like most former slaves, Mary remained a free woman and servant in the Van Lew household. She stayed with the family until the late 1850s. The matriarch of the family, Elizabeth Van Lew, became increasingly aware that Mary Elizabeth had exceptional intelligence. Being a staunch abolitionist and Quaker, she sent Mary to the Quaker School for Negroes in Philadelphia to be educated.
