Timothy Rowley came to the new world about 1761 at the age of 15 or so. He
was born in England. It is said that he had six brothers, and the three eldest
were ships' captains. Timothy was apprenticed to a shipbuilder, and one day got
into an altercation with his employer, which ended in blows-- or so goes the
story. Fearing disgrace and punishment, he was whisked to America aboard one of
his brothers' ships.
Timothy Rowley was a private during the Revolutionary War. He was said to have
married a woman named Jemima Dibble, by whom he had one child. When she died, he
married Naomi Root (a name which seems to have many alternate spellings).
