J.P. Morgan's post mentioning the Sims Family marrying into the Rowland Family has jarred my memory. Several years ago when I first started my research I found the Harris Rowland, Amos Rowland and Thomas Rowland in Saline Co., I thought there might be a connection to my Jeremiah Rowland that I was researching to these Rowlands. So, I wrote Marilyn Rowan who is a descendant of these Rowlands who I think are brothers. Amos married Mary "Polly" Sims. Marilyn wrote back and told me there was no connection of my Jeremiah Rowland to her Rowland line, so I abandoned my research in that area. I still have those notes and I will review them. It is curious that Emeline has a child that has the surname of Sims living with her and lists him as her son after her husband Jeremiah has been killed in the war. I think this calls for more research in the Rowland Family that married into the Sims Family. There may be a connection and a lost link. What do you think?
