Surnames: ROWE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AFB.2ACI/7393 Message Board Post: Edward's parents were William and Margaret Rowe. Edward moved to Gloucester Co., VA, and married Susan Hayes in 1844. They had 5 children, all born in Gloucester; however, the two sons, Andrew Jackson Eaton Rowe and James William (Willie) E. Rowe, moved back to Baltimore in the 1870's - 80's, established a sucessful commission merchant business, "Rowe and Jurney", adjacent to the old Baltimore docks and their children (most of them) were born in Baltimore. My grandmother (a daughter of Andrew), Margaret Thomas Rowe, was born in Baltimore on October 26, 1880, and has told me of watching the horse-drawn fire wagons racing out of a nearby firehouse. I'd very much appreciate some guidance, direction, help as to where I can find anything on Edward's parents/ancestors and any information concerning his Baltimore-born grandchildren. Thanks for any help - this has been a brick-wall situation for me for a long time. "Ham" Williams (in Gloucester Co., VA)
