Hillsdale Co. in the 1840's (Don't know if they knew they were related) !! They both belong to the Henry Rowley line, born abt 1595, who was a Plymouth Mass. potato farmer !! I didn't recoginize any of the names that you mention, in Hillsdale County !! I first picked up Solomon living in 1830 at Big Flats Twp. Steuben Co. New York, living next door to his father-in-law, Andrew Teachman and in 1844, when Solomon moved to Big Grove Twp. Kendall Co. Ill with his parents family and his twin son and daughter were born there, then between 1844 & 1847, back to his father-in-law's farm at Elkland Twp. Tioga Co. Pa. In the fall of 1858, he moved to his wife's Uncle Luke Teachman farm in Swan Creek, Fulton Co. Oh. while his two brother-in-laws, Nathan Hills & John Culp (& John Beagle) moved from Tioga Co. Pa. to Scott Twp. Sandusky Co. Ohio and Nathan's lifelong friend, John William Beagle also moved to Scott Twp. at the same time. After the death of Uncle Luke Teachman in early 1860's, Solomon moved to Amboy Twp. Fulton Co. Ohio, then in 1882 he moved to Jefferson Twp. Hillsdale Co. Mi. where he died in 1900 !!
