Thomas ROWLES (b. 1753; probably Baltimore, MD; d. 1813 Steuben Co, NY) m. Christiana BRANSON (b. 1756?; d. 1803 Steuben Co, NY), 2 Feb 1787 Baltimore. They moved to Bradford, Steuben Co, NY, c1800, where he reportedly open the area's first hotel.
David ROWLES (b. Oct 1792; d. 1868 Monroe Co, IA), a son of Thomas and Christiana, m. Rebecca CLARK (b. 1798 Dutchess Co, NY; d. 1882 Monroe Co, IA), 8 Aug 1814 Steuben Co, NY. David was a War of 1812 veteran. They migrated first to Covington, Fountain County, IN, in 1823, where David (like his father) opened the county's first hotel or inn; they moved to Iowa Territory in 1844. There are numerous ROWLES/ROLES/ROLLS families in 18th century Maryland. Can anyone identity Thomas's connections there? Did any other of the ROWLES families of Maryland move to New York State?

Gordon Stuart
For several years now I have been trying to find the parents of Peter STUART / STEWART. Peter(my grandfather)was born in Prattsville/Cattskill, NY Aug. 14,1844.Apparently something happened to the parents and it appears that he grew up in Beech Pond (now Beach Lake),PA. He served briefly in the Civil War and returned to Beech Pond, married Angenette Montgomery and raised first family. Moved to Scranton, PA early 1800's. Angenette passed away in 1892 and Peter found his way to upstate NY around 1895. In 1904 he married my grandmother , Cora Vangelder, and raised 2nd family in Bath, NY. Some records are under the surname STEWART and others under STUART. Found a Mary (Steward) Holbert listed as Carrie McKee's mother in Syracuse, NY who may have been Peter's sister. Also a Samuel Stuart is listed as father of Eldine Burns, mother of Guy Burns, Guy now lives in Canandagua, NY. There are connections here someplace but hard to ferrit out. Guy is a second cousin, once removed on the Coots side.

Interested in any information on an Ephraim SANFORD who is listed as living in Steuben County in a Luzerne County, Pa. deed in 1794. Possible that he is the father of an Ezra SANFORD who bought land in Caneadea, Allegany Co, NY in 1803.
ROGERS
I am seeking information on the John ROGERS family from Greenwood, Steuben, NY I am a descendent of Abraham WILLIAMSON of Greenwood. Abraham's son Chester b Nov 6, 1823(25) m Electa ???? (possibly a ROGERS) and they moved to Bureau Co., IL before 1860. I am led to believe that Electa was a ROGERS by the following: Bureau Co., IL land records Book 98 page 179 filed Nov. 24, 1888 at 7:00A.M. shows that the children and heirs at law of John ROGERS to wit: Nelson ROGERS and wife Catherin, John ROGERS and wife Lodina, Jackson ROGERS and wife Elizabeth, Freeman ROGERS and wife Charity all of Steuben Co., NY, Bilsy (Knox???) a widow, Caroline GREEN and husband Pardon, Catharine PERKINS and her husband Alexander all of Alleghany Co., NY sold to Chester and Electa WILLIAMSON for the sum of $1.00 and other good and valuable considerations a 40 acre lot in Bureau Co., IL. Chester and Electa had purchased 8 acres in 1885 for $100.00. Apparently the price of the land indicates that somehow either Electa or Chester were related to the ROGERS family. Chester and Electa named children Pardon and Seymour. I find the name Seymor ROGERS in the census records (WFT FTM 1850). Also, according to the census records of Family Tree Maker WFT census bundle, the WILLIAMSON and ROGERS families were living close together in Greenwood. In fact the 1850 census has some of the WILLIAMSON children listed on the same page as the ROGERS family. Abraham WILLIAMSON had a daughter named Charity. Is this the Charity, wife of Freeman ROGERS? If you have any genealogical or biological information on these people, please e-mail or snail mail me.

ROACH I am trying to find the parents names of Chester ROACH, born April 1833 in Bath, Steuben county. He was first discovered on the 1850 census in Bath living with the Archibald GATES family. Chester was 16 years old at the time. His occupation was listed as "farmer". In 1855 he was again found in Bath living with the Lawrence CHURCH family.His occupation was listed at Tinner. I have been unable to find any information on his parents in the county records. Since Chester was just 16 in 1850 and living with another family, I thought possibly his parents had died and left him orphaned. It was not uncommon for boys younger than that to leave home and go to work for other families, but I had hoped there would be something on his parents in the census, or if they had died, in the probate records etc. I have written Steuben County many times and they find nothing. Will appreciate any clues. Claudia Schuman
