I have a little info on Rowland and Desiree and Orinda Dewey taken from "The Life of George Dewey and Dewey Family History by Louis Marinus Dewey" published 1898. This is not my line of Dewey's. I will send you what I have on my line of Dewey's - John and Lydia and daughter Jane and Edward and his second wife Adah. I would be interested in anything you might discover about John, Lydia, Jane, Edward or Adah. Great work you are doing. Edna "Rowland Dewey, son of Stephen, b Aug 14 1803, at Westfield, Mass; d.
