Technically, by modern usage, James was a James Bowdoin, Jr. but I find no record that he ever used the name. I did find one letter from Thomas Jefferson to James Bowdoin, Jr. But, Jefferson apparetly intended it for James Bowdoin, III and he corrected the mistake in later correspondence.
John Hancock was the Prez. of the 2nd Continental Congress, but apparently during elections, James Bowdoin garnered 2nd place. I didn't see this specific information in the article.

This article cites two different dates as James Bowdoin's date of birth, in two different years. I've found websites with both dates referenced, and I'm no scholar on James Bowdoin. So, someone who is might want to correct this problem. -- Elnok ( talk) 18:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to start the review tonight, as I'm finishing up at work, so once I come home I will comment. I read through the article and he was an extremely interesting person but there's some areas of his life mentioned here that left me a bit confused. Thanks Secret account 23:35, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
I added some comments above earlier today. All the images are free, sources are reliable, very minor issues with prose which I've mentioned (though I can't really comment on grammatical prose or MoS), but there's some comprehensive issues that I mentioned that needs to be fixed in this article. It looks like some important events in his life such as the feud with Hancock aren't fully explained. I will put this review
On hold. Thanks
