Known Descendants

William Henry Rowley was born about 1762, probably in New York State.  Nothing is known of his family or his ancestry.  He married about 1795, and the first record, besides the birth of his children was the 1800 census of Cayuga County, New York.  They removed to the Ohio Valley about 1818-19, where they settled.

This chart is presented, listing descendants from various sources. There may be, and very probably are, errors in this list.
