Sheila, Thank you for taking the time to look. In Volume 5 of POWG, there is a David ROWELL born 1806, son of David ROWELL RS. He married (2nd wife) Flora CAMPBELL. In Lowndes County. They had a daughter Elizabeth born Sep 2, 1834. It has "married UNKNOWN" beside her name. I wonder if she may be the one? However, it could be the Elizabeth ROWELL who was involved with William STARLING was a ROWELL by marriage. The name Elizabeth being so popular, it would be hard to know unless you found some record I suppose. Thanks again, Sharon Sharon, I do not have a daughter named Elizabeth listed for this David Rowell (1824-1922). I have him listed as married twice 1. Jane Howard (b. 1820 d. ?)with nine children, one being named Tobitha Isabella Rowell. 2. Basheba Heath (1844-1931). I have seen that information about the name change of those children, but my brain won't tell me right now where it was. I also have two other siblings of David Rowell and James A. Rowell (Lt. CSA), they are Andrew Rowell (no other information) and Mary Elizabeth "Betsy" Rowell (1825-1905) who married Archibald Carroll (b. 1821). What is odd is that Archibald Carroll's parents were Edward (Carrell) Carroll and Elizabeth Rowell. I DO NOT have any information on this Elizabeth Rowell, dates of birth or death, parents, etc. And she may very well have been married before or after Edward Carroll. I hope this isn't confusing....but this is all I have right now. Sheila shadri <[email protected]> wrote: Does anyone know if this Elizabeth ROWELL was the daughter of David ROWELL? Or if not, do you have any further data on her? I am not a known ROWELL descendant. However, I am a STARLING descendant. William was my 4th great-Grandfather Thomas' brother. Thomas' son Abraham STARLING was my 3rd great-Grandfather Sharon Driver Wright Children of WILLIAM STARLING and ELIZABETH ROWELL are: viii. THOMAS6 STARLING, b. Abt. 1828, Georgia. ix. GATSY STARLING, b. Abt. 1830. x. TOBITHA STARLING, b. Abt. 1831. xi. JAMES R. STARLING, b. Abt. 1833. xii. ELLENDER STARLING, b. Abt. 1835. 1841- December 8 a legal name change is documented by a legislative act for the children: Gatsy, Tobitha "Bytha", and Thomas & Ellender, to change their names to Starling from Rowell to make them the legal heirs of their father, William Starling of Lowndes County, Georgia. In "Name Changes of Georgia" There are two different years listed for this legal name change. First December 24, 1832, then the 1841 date above.
