Subject: [NYSCHOHA-L] Rowe Family Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 07:48:47 -0600 From: Timothy Brown <tjbyya@uswest.net> To: NYSCHOHA-L@rootsweb.com Listers, In response to the recent discussion about the Roe/Rowe family, to which I have not paid close attention, I wanted to remind folks of the Rowe family genealogy books - two of them - by Frank Roe, which may provide some clues. Unfortunately my copies are in storage. As to the legends around Indian blood in the Roe/Rowe family, this has been a tradition passed on in my branch of the family as well. My grandmother says that a g-uncle back or two, named Smith as I recall, married an Indian princess. I have never been able to substantiate this claim and have wondered if it is just a "family legend." Frank Roe, the book author, had done some research in Jefferson, New York, but was unable to document it, either. Also, a small note about town boundaries. Someone living in Broome and later Gilboa may not have moved at all. Gilboa was formed in 1848, the eastern part from Broome and Western part from Blenheim. Timothy Brown Greeley, Colorado
