The Rowe Family Jericho Friends Meeting And Its Community Randolph County, Indiana Surnames are: Rowe, Van Sickle, Row, Milligan, The Rowe’s                     The Rowe family, as known at Jericho, descended from Henry Rowe and his wife, Maria(Van Sickle) Rowe. Earliest records of Randolph County marriages for thisfamily givethe spelling of the name as "Row". In the year 1862, Henry Row andhis family came toRandolph County in a covered wagon from Perry County, Ohio. He did not acquireland till the year 1868 when he purchased eighty acres in S24 R14E, at aboutthe locationof the Dora Milligan farm. Here he continued to live till 1892, the year of his deathas well as that of his wife.  ThoughHenry Row and his wife were members of the ChristianChurch and their funerals were conducted by that church of Harrisville, bothare buriedin the Jericho burying-ground.  Henryand Maria had twelve children as follows: George,Oliver, Albert, Francis M., Amanda, Andeline, Celia A., Ella, John, Harvey, Rachel,Harry, and Elmira.
