Shortly after the cornerstone of the Pulaski Monument was laid, Bowen heard that a 66-year-old Jewish cotton dealer, Jacob Clavius Levy, who had moved from Charleston, South Carolina, to Savannah in 1848, knew a Polish Legionnaire named Boguslawski who had visited the grave in 1803 or 1804. Back then, when Bowen was just a tot, his aunt, Elizabeth Ann Beecroft, an eye-witness to Pulaski's burial, owned Greenwich plantation and always kept flowers on the grave until her death in 1816. The oldest daughter of Samuel and Jane Bowen, she was married to a British army surgeon, Dr. Samuel Beecroft.
