Am searching for information on the family of James ROWLEY & Sarah STANLEY, who were married 1 December 1833 in Jackson County, VA (WV). I believe that one of their children, Anna ROWLEY, married my ggg grandfather James BARNHART. In the 1850 Jackson County Census is the following household: Sarah ROWLEY 49 born Mason County, VA William 19 born Jackson County, VA Calvin 12 born Jackson County, VA Sarah ROWLEY & family are living next door to the following family: James BARNHEART 20 Anna 15 According to Jackson County Marriages transcribed by Wes Cochran, James Barnhart married Anna Rosoly (?) on 4 April 1850. I believe that Anna's maiden name should read ROWLEY instead of Rosoly. I was sent a copy of the actual handwritten record of the 1850 Jackson County Census. One way I look at it, I see ROWLEY. Another way I look at it, I see Rosoly. So it probably was the same for Wes Cochran when he transcribed Jackson County marriage records. The fact that he put a question mark beside Rosoly in his book, is proof that he was unsure of the brides surname. There are no other families in Jackson County at the time or since named Rosoly. That along with the proximity of the James "BARNHEART" household to the Sarah ROWLEY place, leads me to believe that Anna ROWLEY was the d/o James ROWLEY & Sarah STANLEY. Other circumstantial evidence is found in 1870 Jackson County, WV Census records. James BARNHART & wife Annie are listed with 10 children. Among the children are William, Calvin & James -- the names of Sarah ROWLEY's children & husband respectively, according to the annotated 1850 Jackson County Census. Can anyone help me piece together the family of James ROWLEY & Sarah STANLEY? Thank you in advance for any information or guidance. I look forward to reading your E-mails.
