General Notes: Husband - John Rowe

---

He was a hatter, having learned the trade in his native town. As he was a churchman it is not improbable that he was educated at the parochial school at Castle Pollard, which was aided by Lord Longford and the Pollard family. He came to America at the beginning of the 1800s, and in 1804 settled at Greencastle, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, where he followed his trade until his death. In 1814 he marched to the defense of Baltimore with Capt. Andrew Robison's company, which included nearly all the leading citizens of the town.
