Hi List, I have been reading with interest about the ROWLAND family. My g-g-grandfather Rowland Denham was born in 1813 in either Claiborne Co., TN or Lee Co., VA. Family records are divided on that fact. I have always wondered about his given name "Rowland". There is no one else in our family, before or since, with that name. I wondered if the name "Rowland" might be the maiden name of his mother or grandmother. Is there any Rowlands out there that have marriage connections to any DENHAMs. Thanks, Billy Denham ----- Original Message ----- From: Phyllis <panders@seidata.com> To: <VALEE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 09, 2002 11:31 PM Subject: Re: [VALEE] ROWLAND > Sandie > I have been tryin to find the same thing. > Here is some that i have been able to put together on him > According to the 1860 Census he was born in Henry Co.
