I see your Rowans in the Mount Union Cemetery: John Wesley Rowan 1855-1950 Arthenia M. Rowan 1856-1901 I do see what looks like a JW Rowan in the 1800 census index in Monroe County, but I do not have that particular census. The first name appears to be misspelled as well. The listing is for a Jno W. Rowan (may have been a transcription error?)
