If I'm not mistaken, THAT Rowland was 2 generations up from Berrien Co. MI Rowland. Ziba Tryon, son of the immigrant William Tryon, named his second son Rowland. ---------- | From: J.

I hope someone can answer these questions. | | I recently received a letter from a friend whose ancestors were Peter | Cooke Waterbury and his wife Mary Slason. Both were born in Stamford CT | in 1759. The Godfather of Mary and her brother Rowland Slason was | Rowland Tryon. (Recent emails said Rowland b. 1783) My friend also | wrote "Later Rowland Tryon and Prudence Tryon moved to Chatham NY." | Mary was the d/o James Slason and his wife Anna _______. | | So, Was the father of Rowland Tryon b. 1783 also a Rowland Tryon? Or, | do we have a totally new Rowland Tryon here? | | Could Anna ______ have been a Tryon? Sister of the Rowland not born in | 1783? Anna would have been born circa 1730 give or take. | | Is Prudence the wife or the sister of this Rowland? | | Just thought I'd ask & when I write back to my friend maybe I can answer | these questions for him? | | Thanks a bunch. | | Judy, | Yellowknife, NWT, Canada |
