Rowland is listed as being born in Alabama. He is 25 years old. It is confusing to me about the different initials that I find on records of Jeremiah Rowland. There is Jeremiah E. Rowland and on his Probate record he is listed as Jeremiah Roland. Then before the Civil war there was a Jeremiah M. Rowland buying land and paying taxes. The land record and description of the land is the same as in Jeremiah E. and Jeremiah Rowland that is married to Emeline Cobb Rowland/Roland. That is why I was thinking that this was the one and same Jeremiah Rowland for all three names. Russell P. Baker that works at the Arkansas History Commission compiled a lists of Saline County Commissioned Officers of the Arkansas State Militia for the time period of 1827-1862. It has for the date 03-27-1862 Rowland J.M., 3rd Lt. Co. D. in the 18th Regiment. I don't know if this is Jeremiah M. Rowland that is the same as Jeremiah E. Rowland or not. But, the initals are the same and I don't know who this J.M. Rowland of Saline County could be if it isn't him. There are more and more clues to solve this mystery. Do you guys like CSI? Then you will love Genealogy. :) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
