Stephen Hiram Rowe 1802-1881
Stephen Hiram Rowe died in Arkansas in 1881.Born in GA, he was a son of Joshua (II) Rowe (Rev. War soldier) and Sarah Rigby.
First married in 1924 to Nancy Bird, while it would seem likely that they had add'l children between 1824 and 1835, known children (dates approx) are Rebecca 1835, Laura 1837, Ann 1839 m. James F. Wilson in Jackson Co., FL 1861; Mary 1841 m. Wm. Samuel Pope in Jackson Co., FL 1861 (my great-grandparents); Martha 1844 m. Hiram McDonald, Jackson Co., FL in 1860; John Henry Rowe 1846-1922, fought in Ala. Inf. regiment CSA and, after emigrating as diehard Confederate to Brazil, married and had 14 children there; and Caladonia 1848-1925 m. Wm. A. Phillips in Jackson Co., FL 1867 and has descendants in TX.
Stephen and Nancy altho in Jackson Co. FL census for 1860 were separated by her death, prob. in GA, in 1861.Stephen re-married to an AR woman about a year later, and had add'l sons Jesse and George with his 2nd wife.
Am lookin in particular for info re fate, descendants of Ann who married James Wilson and Martha who married Hiram McDonald.I can't find these couples in Jackson Co., FL, neighboring Gadsden Co., FL and they seem to have vanished.
Rebecca and Laura, I have 99% established were spinsters; Mary and my great-grandfather are buried in Jackson Co., FL and I know John Henry went to Brazil and Caladonia to TX.
Has anyone anything on Ann m. Wilson or Martha m. McDonald?Might they have relocated to AR when Stephen did?
