Thanks Chuck, I had heard of the town named Rowland, but so far, Alfred is not my direct line. I guess it is one of his brothers. I don't have Alfred's birth date so I can't tell which generation he is from. Nor do I even have him listed anywhere now. According to a cousin, my line is John Rowland 1565 to Thomas 11590 and Scolis, (I know there are some who also say John married Scolis) John1615, George 1640, John 1622 and Elizabeth Hampton, Andrew and Ruth Norman, John 1705 to James 1725 and Elizabeth ?, James Needham 1749 and ___", James Needom 1771 and Elizabeth Curl, and my third great grandfather Needham and Louisa Carter Rowland.. From James Needham, 1749 down, I can verify as the correct lineage. Above James 1749, I myself have not verified. That is what I am now working on. If you are a Rowland researcher, I'd appreciate your input Joyce ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles R Ivey <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 28, 2000 11:15 AM Subject: Re: [NCROBESO-L] Away Down Home Books/Johnson J.
