They married 10 November 1833 and had six children together. I have lots of Rowan information, but almost no McLaughlin information. The only other piece of information I have is that many of my Rowans lived near Loch Fyne, and James Rowan's first wife, Margaret Millar, had brothers who fished Loch Fyne for herring. Hope this helps! Email: eichert3@juno.com
