PART I— HISTORY 
 
 FAMILY SKETCH 
 
 Heman Rowlee was born November 17, 1746. Of his life 
 previous to his marriage, in 1770, little is known. In all proba- 
 bility he grew up in the hills east of the Hudson River, and 
 when old enough was apprenticed to learn the stone mason's 
 trade, by which he afterwards earned his living. In 1769 he 
 bought a farm in southern Orange County, a region already 
 quite densely populated by Dutch, Scotch and Irish emigrants, 
 and by pioneers from Long Island and Connecticut. January 9, 
 1770, he married Lydia Seely. Her parents' names are un- 
 known, but she had a sister Charlotte, who married Isaac 
 Seaman. These sisters were no doubt descendants of Robert 
 Seely, the valiant soldier who is said to have come to America 
 with Governor Winthrop's fleet. "^ 
 
 Heman Rowlee first appears in Revolutionary records as lieu- 
 tenant in the Florida- Warwick Company of the Fourth Orange 
 County Regiment of Militia under Colonel John Hathorn. The 
 only specimen of his handwriting known is where he signed a 
 receipt for pay on Colonel Hathorn' s voucher, now filed in the 
 Controller's office at Albany. Whether he was made an officer 
 on account of previous military training or some other cause 
 does not appear. He did not sign the Revolutionary pledge. 
 
 Orange County was part of the frontier during the Revolu- 
 tionary War and was suVjjected to murderous raids from time to 
 time. The most notable of these was led by Brandt and ended 
 in the battle of Minisink, which was little less than a massacre 
 of the Orange County provincials by the Indians and Tories.f 
 The company to which Heman Rowlee belonged was called upon 
 to support their comrades, but arrived after the fight was over. 
 While the seat of war was in the Hudson valley, the militia was 
 called upon to do desultory but very active work. The service 
 was, however, much more like guerilla warfare than regular

 army service. The stories told by later generations of Indian 
 and Redcoat outrages were no doubt traditions from these Rev- 
 olutionary experiences. 
 
 Heman Rowlee protected his home and family. Ten years 
 after the Revolutionary War closed he had prospered so that he 
 determined to build a new home. Heretofore he had lived in a 
 log house. He now had ten children, five boys and five girls, 
 the older ones old enough to render efficient aid in the construc- 
 tion of the new house. Stone in that country was plenty, and 
 he naturally concluded to build it of that material. The earth 
 was excavated to bed-rock and the four walls started upon it. 
 There were to be two rooms in the cellar, two rooms on the first 
 floor, and an ample attic above. The walls were eighteen inches 
 thick, and in the gable ends were carried up to the ridge pole. 
 The windows were narrow and were provided with solid board 
 shutters like the houses of Philadelphia. The chimney was a 
 massive affair built entirely of stone. Leading into it were two 
 fireplaces, one in each room on the first floor. The hearth for 
 these was supported on an immense corbel built out in the cellar. 
 The front or east side was of dressed stone in regular blocks, the 
 ends and back of irregular rubble. The rafters were tamarack 
 poles flattened on one side, and the beams and joist were all 
 hewn. The plates were held in place on the side walls by 
 heavy wrought iron straps bent into shape so as to hook inside 
 the wall and outside the plate. The house stands in good con- 
 dition to-day. It is located a mile east of Edenville, in the 
 town of Warwick. It was bequeathed to Heman Rowlee, Jr., 
 by his father, and was owned and occupied by him until his 
 death in 1866. It is now owned by G. H. Davenport. Since 
 the death of Heman Rowlee, Jr., a larger part has been added 
 to the house. The front was given a thick coat of plaster 
 which has peeled off in places. It is now 116 years old. The 
 door and window frames, the sash and blinds are crumbling 
 with age, but the walls, beams and rafters are as sound as when 
 built. 
 
 The ten children brought up under this roof soon separated to 
 make homes for themselves. 
 
 The eldest daughter, Sarah, married, and after bearing one 
 child, Joel Curtis, died at the early age of thirty years. Joel 
 
Fatnily Sketch. 7 
 
 Curtis is mentioned in his grandfather's will. He finally 
 removed to Brooklyn. 
 
 The second child, Lois, had the deformity known as harelip, 
 and lived with her father until his death in 1818, when she re- 
 moved with her younger sister, Lydia S., to Rowlee Hill, one 
 mile west of Peruville, Tompkins County, N. Y. Their brother, 
 Nathan, had previously settled in this place. Lois was a 
 weaver and made cloth, from which her sister, a seamstress, 
 made clothing. Both were highly respected and very religious 
 women. 
 
 Charles, the eldest son, came to an untimely death by drown- 
 ing. He had been married two years and left a young wife and 
 infant daughter, Charlotte. The circumstances of his death are 
 not known, but the Christmas season of 1799 must have been a 
 sad one indeed for the famih' . Nothing is known of his widow's 
 life after his death. The daughter Charlotte is mentioned in her 
 grandfather's will. She married Gabriel Curtis and died when 
 thirty years old, leaving two daughters, Lois Kosia and Eliza- 
 beth. Her husband married again, and both daughters married 
 and settled in the West, the elder at Summerfield, O., the 
 younger at Corunna, Mich. 
 
 The fifth child and second son, Matthew, married and re- 
 mained in the vicinity of the old home. He was a blacksmith. 
 
 Elijah married and lived for several years in Orange County, 
 but about the time of his father's death migrated with his 
 family to the Chemung Valley in Southern New York. He was 
 a farmer. 
 
 Nathan and Elijah seem to have had business interests to- 
 gether in Orange County. They sold out and both migrated 
 about the same time. Nathan went to Rowlee Hill, near Peru- 
 ville, Tompkins County, N. Y., where he lived until about 1827. 
 He then sold out to his two sisters, Lois and Lydia S., and re- 
 moved to Fulton, Oswego County, where he got out and dressed 
 hearthstones from a quarry just below the falls. His children, 
 with the exception of his son, Charles S., settled in this locality. 
 Nathan Rowlee and his wife visited their sisters in Tompkins 
 County about 1833. William Niver, of Cortland, now over 80 
 years old, well remembers that they with Lydia S. and Lois 
 visited his father, and particularly their acrid discussion of

 masonry, and Morgan. Niver's father was a mason and the 
 Rowlees anti-mason. His grandmother was Charlotte (Seely) 
 Seaman. 
 
 Mary, or Polly, married John Blauvelt, a dealer in horses. 
 They emigrated to the Susquehanna valley in Northern Penn- 
 sylvania about 1820, and most of their children settled there. 
 Their youngest son, John McDowell Blauvelt, is the only one of 
 his generation living. From him a fund of information has been 
 secured for these records. 
 
 Heman, Jr., the youngest son, remained upon the old home- 
 stead in Orange County until his death. He was a very re- 
 ligious man, and by his will endowed the Presbyterian church 
 at Amity, of which he had been an elder for forty years. 
 
 Mention has already been made of Lydia S. She also was 
 deeply interested in religion and made liberal provision in her 
 will for the Peruville Presbyterian church, which she had helped 
 build up. 
 
 The youngest child, Elizabeth, married Daniel Coe, and lived 
 in Orange County until his death. She outlived all her brothers 
 and sisters and died in 1879 at Groton, N. Y., at the home of 
 her daughter. 
 
 Thus were the children of Lieutenant Heman Rowlee dis- 
 persed. Their descendants are now in all parts of the United 
 States, and very few of them know of the comfortable home and 
 happy family of their ancestor of one hundred years ago.

REMINISCENCE OF HEMAN ROWLEE, JR. 
 
 BY HIS FOSTER DAUGHTER, MRS. SIDNEY BULL. 
 
 Cameron, Mo., Oct. 2, 1905. 
 
 As to a biographical sketch of Uncle Heman, I can give you 
 items which I hope will interest you. He was a devoted 
 Christian, spent much time in prayer. Told me of one time 
 when as a young man he was alone in the barn praying audibly 
 and his sister came to the door and said " Boo ", he said " sister, 
 if you had been quiet you might have heard something for 
 your good." He often took our oldest boy (whom he took in 
 his arms when a little baby and called him by his own name), 
 into the old stone parlor and I would hear him in prayer. He 
 loved his church (Amity Presbyterian), was generous in its sup- 
 port and all its benevolent work. He bequeathed to it a thou- 
 sand dollars, the interest to perpetuate the salary of the pastor. 
 He maintained the family altar. The big family Bible was read 
 morning and evening. 
 
 I coveted that old Bible, but felt it belonged to the Rowlee 
 family. It was a large, old book well preserved. Auntie read 
 it through seven times while uncle was at prayer meeting, knit- 
 ting meantime, the book resting on a stand before her. She 
 was not able for a number of years to attend meeting with him. 
 His liberality gave the impression that he was very wealthy. I 
 think his estate amounted to thirty-two thousand dollars, which 
 he tried to distribute equally between his and auntie's relatives, 
 after bequests of a thousand dollars to several benevolent socie- 
 ties. He gave our Heman a thou.sand for his education. He 
 also gave me what has helped us to accumulate a comfortable 
 living. 
 
 Uncle told me of the building of the stone house, now stand- 
 ing, when he was five years old, and of helping the same year to 
 set out the black cherry trees which lined the road from the 
 barn to the Shorter place, and of the homestead being left to 
 him in consideration of his paying certain legacies to the other 
 heirs. He borrowed money to pay them and the next year had 
 to borrow again to pay the interest. This he determined should 
 14 
 
Gravestone Inscriptions 15 
 
 not occur again, and he and auntie worked hard. He husked 
 his corn and did his threshing nights. Auntie pHed the loom, 
 made butter and knit stockings to sell. The last year of her 
 life she knit forty-six pairs of woollen socks. 
 
 A funny little story was told by Mrs. Sam Goble, of Eden- 
 ville, illustrating the hard times the people passed through in 
 those early days. Mrs. Goble's father's farm joined the Rowlee 
 farm toward Edenville. Heman, Sr., had but one pair of pants 
 and his wife washed them after he retired and hung them in 
 front of the fire-place to dry ; in the night they fell over and 
 burned up, and Mrs. Goble's mother went over the next day 
 and helped make a new pair while he lay in bed. 
 
 I have very pleasant recollections of the families of John Coe, 
 John Rowlee, Jane Ball, and Eydia Woodruff. Was also ac- 
 quainted with Aunt Betsey Coe. Do not remember whose chil- 
 dren these were except John Coe.

THE PRAYERS OF LYDIA S. ROWLEE 
 
 The prayers were written in a quarto pamphlet in her own 
 handwriting. The spelling is preserved in this copy. They are 
 good illustrations of the religious fervor prevailing among the 
 church people of that time. Few, however, of the many utter- 
 ing such prayers wrote them down.

 Various has been the duties of thy hand maid this day and, 
 oh God, thou knowest how she has performed them. I have 
 been permitted to be with thy children at thy table to com- 
 memorate thy dying love but oh what an unworthy guest I have 
 been ; unworthy of a seat amongst thy children yet invited by 
 the master of the feast who said in his word eat, oh friend, 
 drink, oh beloved, and I think that the fruits of Christ's house 
 was sweet to my taste and now, oh God, I entreat thee to give 
 thy handmaid grace to perform all the duties devolving upon 
 her in the fear and with an eye single to thy Glory. Thou 
 knowest, oh searcher of hearts, the duty of this afternoon. 
 
 After having some one to go before us for this three years 
 
 now we are left to go alone except thou go with us and enable 
 
 us to roll ourselves over afresh on the for strength and wilt thou 
 
 guide us now in the day of adversity and forgive what thou 
 
 hast seen amiss in the days of our prosperity and let us not be 
 
 left without the guidance of thy holy Spirit in so important an 
 
 undertaking as to instruct the rising generation out of thy 
 
 word, oh God, accept of us and all that we have and are for 
 
 Jesus sake.

 News has reached us that our dear Brother Waveley is dead. 
 
 This is thy way, oh God, thou seeist not as Man seeith. How 
 
 have I a poor shortsighted Mortal looked at this dear servant of 
 
 the's when preparing for the minestry and thought of his filling 
 
 21 
 
22 Heman Rowlee and his Descendatits. 
 
 a place as an ambassador of Christ, but, oh God, thou hadst but 
 a short work for him to perform here. How didst thou call 
 for him and at an unexpected time when he was going to fulfil 
 an appointment. It was then that thou didst send for him and 
 not a single soul to administer to his relief. It was then that 
 thou didst send thy angle to call this dear Brother home to thy 
 self. To the he lived while here and thou hadst a perfect 
 wright to do what thou wilt with thine own. Oh let not thy 
 handmaid murmur while she suffereth her pen to write and to 
 retrace thy dealings with this people. Thou didst in days past 
 send thy dear servant to his place to labour in this vinyard ; 
 Thou wast acquainted with all his goings ; thou didst hear him 
 plead for sinners here by day and by night ; thou wast witness 
 to his stronge cries and tears and hadst thou not a bottle for 
 his tears and an ear to hear his cries and now as thou hast 
 taken him to thy self let the people in this place when they hear 
 the mournful tidings remember the warnings and the reproof of 
 thy servant. Oh let thy spirit accompany the newes to the con- 
 cienceses of all who hear it both saint and sinner. Oh may we 
 who saw his life and how near he lived to the Saviour be 
 enabled to tread in his steps as far as he trod in the steps of the 
 blessed Jesus. Oh how faithful was he to give reproof to those 
 whome he esteemed as the Children of God. What intreaties to 
 live above the world and to have our conversasion in Heaven 
 and not on the things of time, and, on the other hand, how 
 faithful to warn sinners of their approaching danger and to 
 exort them to flee from the wrath to come and to lay hold on 
 the hope set before them in the Gosple. Oh God let not the 
 news of the death of this thy servant pass unnotised by this 
 people and do thou support his dear widowed mother to say the 
 Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away and blessed be the 
 name of the Lord. She did give to the her son, and thou wast 
 pleased to hear her cries when she plead for the salvation of his 
 soul and now thou hast taken him to thy self I ask the again to 
 support her in this day of trial. 
 
 And, oh God, I would ask that thou wouldst prepare thy 
 handmaid for as sudden an exit from time to Eternity and when 
 thou shalt send the messenger death to open the door for me 
 into Eternity may I be ready having on the wedding garment

 that I ma}' shine in the righteousness of my blessed Redeemer 
 in the Kingdom of heaven and where sin shall never more disturb 
 my pease.

 Various are thy dealings with \.\vy handmaid, oh lyord. This 
 day am I deprived of my greatest privilege that is of attending 
 to the Sabbath school, but Ivord thou knowest why it is so per- 
 haps thou hast in view one at this time who is more capable and 
 better qualified to fill her place for thou art acquainted with her 
 inability and shouldst thou never more permit her to attend to 
 this institution it would be just in thee for how little have I 
 honoured the when thou didst give me health to attend, how 
 little was my heart affected with the salvation of the dear little 
 ones committed to xi\y care. 
 
 Sept. 5th, 1830. 
 
 How swift do the arrows of Death fly and how little do the 
 Children of men take warning. Oh that I may take warning by 
 the dispensasion of thy providence that has lately visited us. 
 Thou didst send unto us one of thy most faithful Servants, and 
 thou didst continue his life with us for a season but ere the time 
 of his ingagement has expired thou didst step in and take him to 
 thy self at a time when we were not looking for it. It was then 
 that thou didst send the messenger Death and take thj^ dear 
 servant to thy self and as thou hast spoken once yea twice may 
 we percieve it and so lay it to heart as to return unto thee. This 
 is the second time that thou hast snatched from us a beloved 
 pastor in an instant and left this little Church to mourn the loss, 
 but let us not forgit thee but be enabled to kiss the rod and he 
 that hath apointed it and return unto thee with all our hearts 
 and as thou hast smitten wilt thou not heal and oh remember us 
 and supply the place of him whom thou hast taken from us with 
 one whose labours thou wilt delight to make instrumental in thy 
 hand of bringing many from darkness to thy great and marvel- 
 ous light and oh that this little Church may yet arise and put on 
 her butiful garments and ri.se above infidelity and sing the Lord 
 is our Righteousness and our strength we will praise him with 
 our whole heart even so Lord Jesus enable us to do. Amen.

 As I have this day been reading the confession and repent- 
 ance of those who have backshdden from thee I would tran- 
 scribe and make them mine for have I not gone estray from the 
 and my heart become cold and lukewarm in thy service and 
 have reason to cry out in the words of the Psalmis search me, 
 oh God, and try my ways and see if there be any evil way in me 
 and lead me in the way everlasting, for lyord shouldest thou 
 mark one of a thousand of my sins I could have no hope for 
 they would be sufficient to condemn me and sink me down to 
 eternal ruin and to cast me from thy presence forever and I 
 should have to own the sentence just but I have reason to 
 thank the that there is hope for such miserable creatures as we 
 are. Though thou slay me yet will I trust in the and what 
 reason have I to put ni)- trust in the and to lay hold of thy 
 Almighty arm for support. When I remember all the way the 
 lyord God hath led me and when I have been about to work my 
 own ruin thou hast so ordered events as to keep thy handmaid 
 from presumptions sins and to show her the vanity of her mind 
 and in some measure to praise the that thou art ever mindful of 
 thy creatures for good and oh I above all of thy creaturs have 
 reason to bless thee for thy peculiar favour manifested to me. 
 
 Amen.

 How can I find words to express my thanks to thee, oh Lord, 
 for th}' loving kindness and tender mercy manifested to us as a 
 Church and a people for it is of thy mercy that thou hast re- 
 membered us, for hadst thou scattered us and had there been no 
 Church here and our candlestick been wholly removed what 
 could thy handmaid have said but acknowledge that it was just 
 in thee, but this has not been the way that thou has taken with 
 us, but when we have looked for judgments thou hast granted 
 to us mercies, when weak and feeble as a church thou didst put 
 compassion into the heart of one of thy faithful servants to 
 come and labour with us and as thou hast saw fit to send for 
 him and take him to thyself, thou hast been gracious still and 
 hast priveleged us with another of thy servants to stand in the 
 
Prayers of Lydia S. Rowlee. 25 
 
 gap and to cry spare thy people, oh Lord, and give not thy 
 heritage to reproach. And now, oh Lord, as giving doth not 
 impoverish the nor withholding enrich the, let thy blessing here 
 be manifested in the salvation of souls and let this little church 
 no longer be little as it respects numbers but let those who com- 
 pose it ever feel their own littleness and live putting their whole 
 trust and dependance on an Almighty and cry unto thee day and 
 night untill thy name shall be praised by this people and thy 
 name hallooed and thy sabbaths regarded and thy command- 
 ments kept by all from the Least to the greatest. Amen.

 How easily are our hopes blasted and how short are our com- 
 forts and enjoyments here in this vale of tears for truly it is a 
 vale of tears to me for at one time I am made to rejoice in view 
 of what God has done, at another to mourn in what he has done, 
 for I do realize that he has a right to do what he pleaseth and I 
 do often say thy will be done on earth as it is in heavin, yet how 
 prone to murmur at the hand that has strewed my way with 
 mercies innumerable and blessings with out number and oh that 
 thou woulds teach me to number my days that I may apply my 
 heart to true wisdom and that I may not place my affections on 
 eny thing below the sun but that I may be prepared for every 
 event that availeth me with the composiire that the blessed Jesus 
 gave his back to the smiters but, alas, my wicked heart is as in- 
 constant as the wind and my heart is apt to be drawn after other 
 lovers and how can a god of spotles purity look on such a vile 
 mortal who has nothing but a heart polluted with sin to recom- 
 mend her to his face and favour.

 Oh thou Father of all flesh how soon are our hopes as a 
 Church blasted as it respects outward circumstances, at one 
 time made to rejoice in gosple priveleges, at another to mourn 
 our destitute situation. Thy hand dealings to us as a church is 
 mysterious, but, oh God, thou canst see all things from the be- 
 ginning and had it been most for thy glory thou couldst longe 
 before this time have caused thy spirit to decend on this place 
 
26 Heman Rowlee and his Descendants. 
 
 and raised up a people here to honour the in walking in the 
 commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless and to 
 erect a house to worship the in and thy gospel might statedly 
 been preached to this people but this is not the case with us for 
 we are now without the means that is calculated to bring Sinners 
 to repentance and have not we as a people reason to lift up our 
 cries to thee that thou wouldst search us and try us and show us 
 the evil that hinders thy blessing from this people and if it be in 
 the midst of thy people may it be found out and if it be in the 
 people at large let it be discovered, oh Lord, and let oh let thy 
 spiritual Jerusalem here flourish oh let her arise in thy strength 
 and put on her butiful garments and prepare the wey in this 
 place for the preaching of thy word. Oh send some one to this 
 place that maj^ prove like a Nehemiah in reparing the waste 
 places of Zion and who may comfort thy people and stand in the 
 gap that the enymy may not enter.

 The Lords day has again returned but no gosple priveleges for 
 thy handmaid but to sit in silence and there learn thy will and 
 may I not venture to ask the, oh thou most high, why it is that 
 one who has taken so much delight in gospel priveleges should 
 so much of her time be deprived of them as it respecth those 
 privaleges in which my soul delights. My life has been a 
 checkuered scan sometimes rejoicing that God has cast my lot 
 here and at another mourning that I am no better situated and 
 that I must spend my Sabbath at home when many can go up to 
 the house of God to keep holy day and unite their hearts and 
 voices together in singing praises to him who gave his back to 
 the smiters and withheld not his face from spitting to purchase 
 those blessings for us for he went through till he could say it is 
 finished. Oh what heart so hard that it could not rejoice at 
 those blessed words it is finished the salvation of man is com- 
 pleted and all are invited to come. Oh what cause have I for 
 grattitude that the way has been made open to me and as I hope 
 I have been enabled to partake of the fatness of Christs house 
 but still murmur that I live without the Preached word. Great 
 God give thy handmaid true resignation to thy will but do not 
 forgit thy heritage here and quickly may this dry and barren 
 
Prayers of Lydia S. Rowlee. 27 
 
 wilderness become a fruitful field as it were, the garden of the 
 Lord and bud and blossom as the rose that thy people may no 
 longer hang their harps upon the willows but may they arise in 
 thy strength and go forth to meet the blessed Jesus while he is 
 yet in the way and while he is inviting sinners to come to him 
 and may thy children lay hold of thy promises and plead them 
 in all their length and breadth and with that faith that takes no 
 denial. Oh that thou woulds put such a heart into thy people 
 here and unite the hearts of all together in one bundle of love.

 March 13th, 1831. 
 I find that in the are blessings still and that thou art found of 
 those that seek the and though we are destitute of the preached 
 word yet we have the privelege of meeting together and mingle- 
 ing our voices together in confessing our sins before the and 
 pleading for thy blessing on a lost and fallen world, and oh when 
 will that blessed day dawn on this little Church that we may en- 
 joy the blessing of a preached Gosple. Oh is not the time now 
 nigh at hand and not far off when Sinners in this place might 
 be constrained to listen to the voice of wisdom and forsake their 
 
 vanity and turn to God.

 May ist, 1831. 
 
 I am astonished when I look over and see that more than a 
 
 Month has passed away without my marking down any of thy 
 
 dealings with me, for I must acknowledge it has been a season 
 
 of more than common interest to me in that thou hast been 
 
 pleased to look upon us in our low estate and hast raised us to 
 
 a more than common engagedness in thy service. Oh what a 
 
 God of mercy have we sinners of the human family to trust in, 
 
 and oh that thou wouldst Give thy handmaid true resignation 
 
 to thy dealings to us as a people and trust the and march for- 
 
 forward in every path of duty looking unto Jesus who is the 
 
 author and finisher of all things.

 Jan. ist, 1832. 
 
 This is the first day of a new year and how does it become me 
 a candidate who is bound to the eternal world to consider how I 
 spent the last year and wherein I have come short of my duty to 
 
28 Heman Rowlee and his Descendants. 
 
 God to try aud reform this 3'ear on which I have now entered. 
 How different has been my circumstances this day to what the 
 commencement of the last was. This day we were all able to go 
 to the house of God and the first of the Last were all constrained 
 to stay at home by reason of sickness. And when I take a view 
 of thy goodness to me an individual I have reason to bles and 
 prais thy great name for thy loving kindness manifested to such 
 a pointed worm of the dust and as thou wast pleased to visit us 
 in a time when destitute of the word preached and as thou hast 
 been pleased to grant to us at the presant this so great a blessing. 
 Oh God, to the I look and to the, cause all of thy Children to 
 look and may this little Church arise as the heart of one man. 
 Lord God to the I look that thou wouldst arouse thy Children 
 and bring them into a state of activity that those who suround 
 thy Children may by their Good works be led to glorify thee our 
 Father who art in heaven and oh that this afternoons discourse 
 may be set home to every impenitent sinner this day so that it 
 may be a means in thy hand of bringing them all to Christ. 
 
 13- 
 
 May 15th, 1832. 
 
 It is now more than twenty three j'ears since I in a publick 
 manner came out and seperated myself from the world declareing 
 myself to be for God and none other and now when I look back 
 and take a view and see how little I have done to honor that God 
 to who I am indebted for every bles that ni)- life has been crowned 
 with, I might forever hide my face in the dust but as I know 
 that to go back is certain death I will with trembling steps march 
 forward and this day would I anew consecrate myself to thee in 
 humble relyance on divine aid as I do know that the most of my 
 time is spent and that I have honered him no more before a 
 dying world. I do now desire to consecrate myself anew to God 
 and do desire to be his and only his forever and, oh thou 
 Almighty God, who kuowest the secrets of all hearts help this 
 thy unworthy dust to live and while she lives to honor her 
 christian profession by a well ordered life and Godly conversasion 
 and help me so to live that my life may be such that I may leave 
 a savour of thy name when I quit the shores of time and enter 
 the world of spirits to join in celebrating the praises of God and 
 the Lamb through Eternity. Oh blessed thought, one that has 
 
Prayers of Lydia S. Rowlee. 29 
 
 done so little to honor my maker, one that so little honored my 
 
 redeemer Can I have so blessed a hope yes methinks I have a 
 
 hope that is like an anchor to the soul both sure and stedfast 
 
 entering to that within the vale whither the forerunner is 
 
 entered. May I live as one who posseses so glorious a hope and 
 
 when this mortal shall be called to put on imortality Death may 
 
 be swallowed up and I with joy enter on an untried state. Oh 
 
 thou blessed Redeemer, thou Lamb of God, how doest thou con- 
 
 desend to take guilty rebbles to thy self and permit them to be 
 
 heirs with the in thy Kingdom.

 August 28th, 1832. 
 
 O Lord, I am yet spared and again to set my pen to paper and 
 it is because thy hand has been stretched out in mere}' or I 
 should now have been in an endless and miserable Eternity, for, 
 oh God, since thou hast taught me my condition that I was in 
 by nature and permitted me to hope in thy mercy, how have I 
 departed from the and it is with shame that I would this night 
 make a confession of my sins and my wanderings from thee and 
 this night would I engrave as in brass that I do desire to return 
 to the with all my heart never more to depart from the for thou 
 only art lovley thou alone deservest the prais of thy people. 
 And, oh God, may I ever give the prais and Glory that is due to 
 thy holy name and keep my proper place at thy feet and though 
 my name should be cast out as evil, oh let me never stray from 
 the path of truth and dut}- but if I am reviled may I remember 
 that the blessed Jesus withheld not his face from spitting and 
 shall not I be patient under reproaches for, oh God, it will be 
 well with me if thou reproach me not for should all earth and 
 hell rise up against me it be well with me if thou art my friend. 
 Oh may I come to the aright and lay my self low before the and 
 the few remaining breaths that I have to breath let me breath 
 them out in prayr to the and let not an idol word pass from my 
 lips and help me to dedicate my house hold to thee in such a 
 manner as that thou wilt except the dedication and look on them 
 in mercy. Thou hast committed to my care two immortal Souls 
 which must exist as longe as god exists and one of them I hope 
 thou hast taught the bitterness of sin and he has made a 
 dedication of himself to the, but Lord thou see'st that unless 
 
30 Heniayi Rowlee and his Descenda7its. 
 
 thou hold he will utterlj' depart from the. Oh God look upon 
 him this night and keep him from sin keep him from the vaneties 
 of this vain and alureing world and may a sence of his departure 
 from the be brought to his view in cullars that he may return to 
 the with all his heart and be a light in thy candlestick. Oh 
 God but I confess that thou hast a perfect right to what thou 
 wilt with thine own I leave him with thee and plead for her who 
 is yet in the broad road to ruin walking heedlesly onwardly to 
 Eternity. Oh God, wilt thou have compassion upon her and 
 send thy Good spirit into her heart and show her her sins in their 
 true cullars that she may no longer rest in sin but return and 
 live to thy Glory and may I be so happy as to say here am I and 
 the Children thou hast given me. Amen.

 This day, again detained from going up with thy people to 
 keep holy day in lonely retirement at home, would I look over 
 and count thy mercies to us as a people in that thou hast 
 crowned us with blessings innumerable thou hast far surpassed 
 my expectations and I am led in the language of the poet to say 
 
 Lord when I count thy mercies ore 
 
 they strike me with surprise 
 Not all the sands that spread the shore 
 
 To equal number rise. 
 
 For thou hast not only granted to us the preached word but 
 thou hast succeeded the effort of thy people in this place in 
 erecting a house in honour of thy name and when we felt our- 
 selves little and could see no way of eskape it was then that 
 thou didst send to our relief. In sending to this little Church a 
 man one on whose labours thou hast been pleased to smile and 
 one whom thou hast been pleased to make instrumental in 
 bringing into this little vine multitudes of the lost sons and 
 daughters of men and hast placed on them thy blessed image 
 and hast made them pillars in the temple of our God and as I 
 hope to go no more out forever. This is the Lord's doings and 
 it is marvelous in our eyes.

 This is the first that I a sinful worm have attempted to pen 
 this year, and oh when I look over thy hand dealings with this 
 little vine I am constrained to say what hath God the great 
 Eternal wrought for us here. Thou art going on in ways of 
 mercy with us and now as we are about to enjoy a privelege 
 under such circumstances as we have never before been per- 
 mitted to enjoy how does it become us to humble ourselves 
 before thee, the Almighty God, that thou mayest lift us up for 
 now, even now, under all the seaming prospects which are be- 
 fore us if thou Lord withhold thy blessing the season which we 
 contemplate will be a barren and unfruitful one to us and thy 
 name will be dishonoured. But as thou hast never disapointed 
 eny who put their trust in the, disapoint not I do pray thee any 
 expectation of thy blessing upon the meeting now in contem- 
 plation and when the house that has been built for thy worship 
 shall be dedicated to thy name and worship, oh will it please 
 the to fill it with a cloud of thy presance.

 Again am I permitted to put my hand to paper and to tell of 
 thy wonders, oh Lord, to us as a people here in this place hast 
 thou been pleased to stand by thy people and bless their attempts 
 to erect a house of worship. Oh what grattitude do I owe to 
 the, for thou hast been with us from the foundation to the top 
 stone ; thou art in very deed thy people's friend and I will still 
 trust the and go forward hoping that thou who hast been with 
 us in all our straits will now take up thine abode with thy peo- 
 ple here and cause that here sons and daughters may be born to 
 thee who shall shine like polished stones in thy temple here and 
 be prepared to shine in the kingdom of immortal glory.

 I am yet in the Land of the living and am permitted to tell 
 of thy goodness and to plead with the to search me and try me 
 for the fealings of my heart are known to thee this day, how do 
 
32 Heman Rowlee ayid his Descendants. 
 
 I feal to mourn over the sins of thy professed children, how is 
 thy cause in this place dishonered by such as profess to be thine 
 in this place. Oh Lord may all in this place who profess to be 
 thine be careful to depart from all eniquity and walk in obedi- 
 ance to thy commands that they ma\- lead them who are yet 
 blinded in sin to the saviour of Sinners. Oh let this be a day of 
 thy power upon the impenitent in this place and may be brought 
 to feal the truth when it is set before them and may satan yet 
 be defeated of his pray and no longer hold the impenitent in his 
 chain but let arrows from thy quiver fly thick this afternoon to 
 the hearts of thy enemies and bring them to bow in submission 
 to thy will. Thou art able and will it not please the to bind the 
 strong man and then spoil his goods enter in, oh thou blessed 
 spirit, this afternoon to many hearts and may the jeneral inquiry 
 be what shall I do to be saved and may the cloud which apears 
 to gather blackness over this place be a cloud of mercy and fill 
 this place with thy glory.

ANCESTRY OF LIEUT. HEMAN ROWLEE 
 
 The following notes on the early generations of the Rowlee 
 (Rowley) family in America are largely taken from Prof. Homer 
 G. Brainard's articles in the New York Gen. and Biog. Record. 
 
 I. Henry Rowley w^as an early planter at Plymouth, Mass. 
 In the first tax rating for the Plymouth Colony in 1632-33, 
 occurs the following entries : 
 
 JL <1 
 
 Henry Rowley_ 00 09 
 
 Gov. Edward Winslow 02 05 
 
 Myles Standish 00 18 
 
 John Alden 01 04 
 
 In the second rating in 1633-34 : 
 
 Henry Rowley 00 18 
 
 Gov. Edward Winslow 02 05 
 
 Myles Standish 00 18 
 
 John Alden 01 04 
 
 It is possible that he was one of the company that came over 
 from Leyden to Plymouth in 1630. It has also been conjectured 
 that he came in the Charles with Mr. Hatherly, in 1632. It is 
 probable that he came from the vicinity of Shrewsbury, Eng- 
 land, since the family name is common in the records there. It 
 is near the Wales border and .some traditions call the family 
 Welch, while others call it English. It is probable that he was 
 married when he came over, and that his children were born 
 before that time. It has been declared that his first wife was 
 Sarah, daughter of William Palmer, Senior, of Duxbury. The 
 latter came over in the Forttnie in 1621, and his wife, Frances,, 
 came in the Anne in 1623. In his will, dated 1637, William 
 Palmer names " Moyses Rowley (son of Henry) whom I love," 
 and provides for his bringing up, but does not state what rela- 
 tion Moses was to himself. Henry Rowley m. (2) Oct. 17, 
 1633, Anne, widow of Deacon Thomas Blossom, who embarked 
 in the Speedivell oX Eeyden in 1620, but being obliged to return 
 to Iveyden, came over to Plymouth in 1629, where he d. pre- 
 vious to March, 1632-3. Henry and Anne Rowley removed to 
 Scituate in 1634, the year he was elected freeman. Both were 
 members of Rev. John Lothrop's church at Scituate in 1634-5, 
 and removed with him to Barnstable in 1638. In the memoran- 
 34 
 
Ancestry of Heman Rozvlee. 35 
 
 dum containing the membership of Lothrop's church occurs 
 the following : "Goodman Rowleyes house a small plain pale- 
 sade House in 1634 ; a new house on his lott in 1636." He was 
 a deputy from Barnstable to the General Court in Plymouth at 
 least once. 
 
 In 1650 Henry Rowley removed, with his step- son, Peter 
 Blossom, to West Barnstable, and later to Falmouth. Henry 
 Rowley d. in 1673. Inventory of the estate of " henery Rowley 
 of Saconesset," exhibited in Court, July, 1673, on oath of Moses 
 Rowley. "Item: a debt of twenty-nine pounds due from 
 Jonathan Hatch upon the repurchase of a parsell of land which 
 the said Hatch sold to said Henery Rowley with that limitation 
 provided." Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. Ill, part 2, p. 93.

 years. He settled in Succonnessett (Falmouth) in 1661. 
 
 2. Moses Rowley (Henry'), b. probably before 1630 in En- 
 gland ; d. 1705, at (East) Haddam, Conn.; m. April 22, 1652, 
 at Barnstable, Elizabeth, dau. of Capt. Matthew Fuller. She 
 survived her husband and d. in (East) Haddam or Colchester 
 after 17 14. The earliest mention of Moses Rowley is found in 
 the will of William Palmer, the elder, of Duxbury, dated Nov. 7, 
 1637, which is recorded in Vol. I, fol. 28, of Plymouth Colony 
 Wills and Inventories, and has been printed. (See Mayflower 
 Descendant for July 1900. p. 147). "I would have myne 
 Execut's as in conscience they are pswaded out of the remaynder 
 of my estate deale wth Rebecca my Grandchild and Moy.ses 
 Rowly whom I love but not so as to put it into their father or 
 mother's hands but preserve it for them till they come to years 
 of discretion .... also I would have yeong Rowly to be 
 placed wth mr. Partridge that hee might be brought up in the 
 feare of God, and to that end if his father suffer it I give mr. 
 Partridge five pounds." March 7, 1653-4, Moses Rowley was 
 allowed a cow out of the estate of William Palmer, deceased, 
 of Plymouth (Records of Plymouth Colony, Vol. Ill, p. 45.) 
 
 In 1657 he took the freeman's oath at Barnstable. In 1681 
 
36 Heman Rowlee and his Descendants. 
 
 he was a constable, and was occupying lands at Succonessett 
 (Falmouth). He was a deputy to the General Court in 1692, 
 under the new charter according to Savage, and yet he must at 
 that time have been thinking of removal, for according to East 
 Haddam Deeds, Vol. I, p. 554, Moses Rowley, Senior, "late of 
 Saquanesset, now of Machimodus in Haddam," bought 60 acres 
 of land of Jonathan Gilbert, originally laid out to John Hender- 
 son of Haddam, deceased. The date of this deed is May 3, 
 1692, and there is another deed dated October 4, 1693, which 
 names Moses Rowley. An agreement of the heirs of James 
 Bates of Haddam, dated Feb. 1691-2, refers to " mony in moses 
 rowlyes and John Ackley's hands, to be reserved to pay debts 
 with." These records indicate that he removed to Haddam as 
 early as 1691. That his wife Elizabeth disapproved of the re- 
 moval is clear, for in 17 14 she made a deed in which she declared 
 that she had been left without support and dependent upon the 
 bounty of her sons, John Fuller and Moses Rowley, and con- 
 veyed to them all her right of dower to lands in Falmouth, 
 which her husband had sold to the Parkers without her consent. 
 His will is dated Aug. 16, 1704, on file at Hartford, Conn., and 
 reads as follows : 
 
 ' ' The Last Will and Testament of Moses Rowley Sen of east 
 Haddam in the county of Hartford in Colleny of Connecticut in 
 new Ingland Wittneseth." 
 
 " In the name of god. Amen. Whereas I Moses Rowlee be- 
 ing weak of body but through gods good hand upon me at this 
 present writing in perfect memory and understanding doe make 
 and ordain this as my last will and testament." 
 
 "Imprimus: I doe give and bequeath my soul unto god in 
 the name, meritts and mediation of the lord Jesus Christ in 
 whose Righteousness I hope to be accepted with the father." 
 
 " And my body to Christian burial as my executors shall .see 
 meet, hoping for a glorious Resurrection at the last and great 
 day." 
 
 " As for the portion of this worlds goods that god (hath) 
 given and continued to me my will is that my Just Debts being 
 paid the Remainder to be disposed of as foUoweth : as for the 
 Rest of my children I have done what hath been with me and

 Elizabeth (Rowley) Fuller was second child of Matthew and 
 grand-daughter of John and Margaret (Balls) Fuller of Reden- 
 hall, Norfolk, Eng. Matthew Fuller was baptized Oct. 16, 1603. 
 He did not come in the Mayflower but remained with friends in 
 England until about 1640, when he came over to Plymouth. At 
 this time he was married and a parent. Of his early history, 
 little is known, but he was doubtless acquiring the knowledge of 
 surgery and military affairs which he afterward put to such good 
 use. In April, 1642, ten acres of land were granted him in 
 Plymouth, and in the same year he was juryman and propounded 
 freeman of the Colony, but was not .sworn and admitted until 
 June 7, 1653. In 1643, he was appointed sergeant in the military 
 company of the Colony, of which Miles Standish was captain. 
 About 1650, he removed to Barnstable. In 1653, he represented 
 that town in the Colony Court, and was already lieutenant of the 
 militia there. June 20, 1654, he was appointed lieutenant under 
 Capt. Standish of the Company of fifty men, the quota of 
 Plymouth Colony, in the proposed expedition against the Dutch 
 at Manhattan. All preparations had been made, when news of 
 peace arrived and further service became unnecessary. Oct. 2, 
 1658, he was elected one of the Council of War, and in 1671 its 
 chairman, and one of the magistrates of the Colonj^ and in the 
 same year lieutenant of the forces to be sent again.st the Saconet 
 Indians. Dec. 17, 1673, he was appointed Surgeon-General of 
 the Colony troops, and also of those of Massachusetts, if that 
 Colony approved. For this service he was allowed 4 shillings a 
 day. In King Phillip's War he was captain of the Plymouth 
 forces. In the Quaker controversy, Capt. Fuller took a noble 
 stand in favor of religious toleration. He lived near neighbor 
 to some of the most prominent of the Quakers, and was con- 
 nected by marriage alliances with some who felt the severity of 
 the laws passed against the sect. He went so far as to censure 
 this law in strong terms in public. For this he was fined by the 
 magistrates. Though indiscreet in speech, the court continued 
 to confer offices of trust and honor upon him, — a most unusual 
 course which shows that his honor and bravery were never 
 doubted. In his public and private life he was a man of sound 
 judgment, of good understanding, faithful in performance of 
 duty, liberal in politics, tolerant in religion. Captain Fuller

 was also the first regular physician who settled in Barnstable, 
 His homestead was in the northwest corner of Barnstable, at 
 Scroton Neck. He also possessed large tracts in Falmouth and 
 Middleboro, granted for the eminent services he had rendered 
 the Colony. His will was dated July 20, 1678, and was proved 
 Oct. 30th following. His estate was appraised at ^^ 667,04,06, a 
 very large amount for those times. Among the items is the 
 following: "Pearls, precious stones, and diamonds, at a guess, 
 .^200."

 Barnstable; d. March 28, 1714, at Colchester, Conn.; m. Cathe- 
 rine, dau. of Thomas Crippen, of Falmouth and East Haddam ; 
 she d. probably at Colchester, after 1719, but the date is not 
 found. She conveyed all her right in her husband's estate to 
 her son-in-law, Edward Fuller, on the promise of support during 
 her life. Shubael Rowley was in (East) Haddam as early as 
 1693, for on Oct. 4 of that year he conveyed land there to " his 
 father Moses Rowley, cordwainer, of Sockanesset in the County 
 of Barnstable and Colony of Plymouth." On Nov. 19, 1700, he 
 sold his Haddam lands to Timothy Fuller, of Machimoodus, and 
 removed to Colchester. The names of his children are from the 
 settlement of his estate (Hartford Probate Rec, Vol. VIII, p. 
 224). The older children were born at Falmouth, the younger 
 probably at (East) Haddam. Children : —

 viii. Jabez, b. about 1702 ; m. Tabitha Harris. 
 
 4. Shubel Rowley (Shubael*, Moses', Henry'), b. about 1686, 
 in Falmouth or Barnstable ; m. May 8, 1709, to Hannah Brown 
 of Colchester, probably daughter of John Brown, who died in 
 1707 at Colchester, leaving wife and six children. Hannah was 
 born in 1688. In 1734 they were living in North Castle, West- 
 chester County, N. Y. 
 
 The records of the town of North Castle reveal the following : 
 
 April 6, 1736, Shubel Rowley was elected As.ses.sor, or as it is 
 recorded (Sessor), and Highway Master. 
 
 Aprils, 1737, Shubel Rowley was elected Fence Viewer and 
 Appraiser (Prisor) of damages for old Poundridge. 
 
 April 4, 1738, Shubel Rowley was elected Fence Viewer and 
 Appraiser of damages for old Poundridge. 
 
 April 3, 1739, Shubel Rowley was elected Appraiser of dam- 
 ages and Fence Viewer for old Poundridge. 
 
 Shubel Rowley used the spelling for his Christian name as 
 here given, and his descendants for three generations apparently 
 did also. Whether his father also used that spelling is uncertain 
 since clerks and compilers have in many ca.ses substituted the 
 spelling Shubael. Whether he and his father u.sed the spelling 
 for the family name as here given (Rowley) or used the spelling 
 Rowlee as did his grandfather in his will and his sons and later 
 generations, must for the present be left unsettled. 
 
 Their first seven children are recorded at Colchester. It 
 
 seems probable that they also had a son Shubel, b. after they 
 
 left Colchester.

 5. Matthew Rowlee, b. Aug. 8, 1720, at Colchester, Couu. ; 
 
 m He was living in the vicinity of Carmel between 
 
 1750 and 1760, for Matthew and Shubel Rowlee signed a call 
 in 1755-6, for Mr. Ebenezer Knibloe as pastor, from the Western 
 Society of Philippi (Carmel). 
 
 The Register of Baptisms in the West. Soc. of Philips Patent 
 has : Shubel Rowlee and his spouse had their daughter Patience 
 baptised April 11, 1756. Matthew Rowlee and his spouse had 
 their son Elijah baptised Jan 2, 1757. 
 
 Marriage Records of Amenia by Rev. Ebenezer Knibloe 
 (iV. Y. Gen. & Biog. Record, XXXIII, 47) : Nathaniel Rowlee 
 m. Kezia Davis, Sept. 11, 1765. Abel Rowlee m. Susannah 
 Connet, April 15, 1773. 
 
 Military Records from Bureau of Pensions, Washington : 
 Daniel Rowlee enlisted at Fredericksburg three successive years, 
 1776, 1777, and 1778. His residence is given at Fredericksburg, 
 Dutchess Co. His date of birth is April 20, 1759. He served 
 the last year in Capt. David Hecock's Co. 
 
 Elijah Rowlee also enlisted from Pawling in Capt. Hecock's 
 Coompany. 
 
 The following connection between the Orange County and 
 Dutchess County families seems most likely : Shubel of the two 
 places is identical. Heman of Orange County is son of Matthew 
 of Dutchess County. Nathaniel, Abel, Daniel and Elijah may 
 also have been sons of Matthew. 
 
 That Heman Rowlee and Shubel Rowlee were of close kin- 
 ship appears evident from the fact that the names of both appear 
 in the same family records, namely Heman's. They might have 
 been brothers but from the dates, and the text of their wills, it 
 seems more probable that Shubel was Heman's uncle. 
 
 The period of migration, i. e., the last half of the eighteenth 
 century, scattered families so that, especially in the pioneer 
 districts, the evidence of genetic connection is scant or lost 
 altogether. 
 
 The family name is spelled differently from the commonly 
 accepted English form. The spelling " Rowlee " is used by the 
 first Moses in signing his will, and his son Matthew signed in 
 the same form, as a witness. During the eighteenth century, 
 the spelling ' ' Rowlee ' ' was used by a considerable number of 
 
42 Hevian Rowlee and his Descenda7its. 
 
 families, some of whom afterward returned to the original "ley." 
 Heman's children and grandchildren were always insistent that 
 " Rowlee " was right. One of the former's grandsons, Charles 
 S. Rowley, wrote as follows in a letter to his aunt, dated Nov. 
 21, 1854: " You will observe that I spell our surname a little 
 different from the old way. After I grew up, I saw some one 
 write it in this way and it took my fancy and I have written it 
 so since some ten or fifteen years." The children of Elijah 
 Rowlee (21) also have adopted the spelling Rowley. 
 
 It seems, therefore, probable that the spelling "Rowlee" has 
 been used by some of his descendants continuously since the 
 time of Moses, sou of Henry the Colonist. It also appears that 
 officials, ministers, justices and clerks, most often used the 
 English spelling "Rowley," although the persons themselves 
 persisted in writing the name " Rowlee." 
 
OTHER ROWLEE FAMILIES OF ORANGE 
 
 COUNTY 
 
 There were other Rowlees or Rowleys contemporaneous with 
 Heman in Orange County. 
 
 Shubel Rowlee. He and his wife, Joanna, mortgaged to 
 David Johnson, of New York City, for ^72, 106^ acres of land 
 in the precinct of Goshen, May 22, 1775. The land was pur- 
 chased of the said David Johnson on May 22, 1775. This mort- 
 gage was paid and discharged in 1786. (Orange County Clerk's 
 Office.) 
 
 Shubel Rowlee. His will dated May 21, 1795, and probated 
 Sept. 21, 1799, alludes to himself as "weak in body," gives to 
 his wife Joanna, and his son Jonathan, as heirs, his farm in the 
 town of Warwick, Orange County. He makes his son Jonathan 
 and Frances Armstrong executors. (Surrogate's Office, Orange 
 County.) 
 
 Jonathan Rowlee. He is recorded in the family records of

 This mortgage was paid Dec. 13, 1775. Heman Rowlee (a

 the will of Heman Rowlee, Jr., in 1866, Joel Curtis of Brooklyn, 
 N. Y., is mentioned. In the final printed citation of this will 
 (see p. 19) his name does not appear, but instead the following,

 b. Jan. 8, 1780, at Warwick, Orange Co., N. Y. He m. about 
 1804, Millicent, dau. of Jonathan and Miriam (Strong) Shep-

 show that Elijah and Millicent Rowlee were admitted to Com- 
 munion by certificate, from Scotchtown, Oct. 30, 1813, and were 
 dismissed May 3, 1817. The Orange Co. records (Lib. K. p. 
 325) show that on the 17th of May, 1808, Elijah Rowlee and 
 Millicent, his wife, and Nathan Rowlee and Doratha, his wife, 
 of the towns of Warwick and Minisink, gave a deed of 70^^ 
 acres of land in the town of Minisink to Charles Wood, consid- 
 eration $1100. They probably migrated in the summer of 1817 
 to Western New York, for their .son, Jonathan Sheppard, was 
 born Feb. 5, 1818, " in the town of Milo, three miles from Penn 
 Yan." They finally .settled near Monterey, town of Orange, 
 Steuben Co., N. Y. He d. about 1864 and was bur. in Genoa 
 Cem., De Kalb Co.. 111. " He cast his la.st vote for Abraham 
 Lincoln for President." (Hake's Landmarks of Steuben Co.,

 fANCESTRY OF Dorothy (Carr) Rowlee. Dorothy Carr, b. Dec. 21, 
 1783 near Pine Island, Orange Co., N. Y., bapt. at Florida Presbyterian 
 church, June 19, 1799, together with brothers and sisters (Dorothy, appar- 
 ently the eldest) John, Hannah, Anna, Nathan, David and Samuel. She 
 m. Nathan Rowlee about 1803. All joined the same church in 1815 and 
 1816, and in addition, Eleanor, who may have been a child born after 1799. 
 She was a daughter of John and Amy (Armstrong) Carr. 
 
 Johyi Carr, was born probably as early as 1750. He was son of William 
 Carr deceased in 1783, who was a Scotch-Irish emigrant. John Carr was a 
 Revolutionary soldier, and served in the Orange Co. Militia, and possibly 
 also in the regular continental army. He had a brother Wm. , Jr. , who 
 
 married Deboriah , and also lived in Orange Co. Records show 
 
 that John Carr was a blacksmith. He married Amy Armstrong about 1782. 
 
 Amy (Armstrong) Carr was daughter of John Armstrong. 
 
 The facts set forth in Eager's account of the Armstrong lineage is 
 apparently erroneous in certain particulars. The following is based upon 
 Dr. Coleman's researches in Orange Co. and upon records collected by J. 
 Whit. Wood and his father, of Phillipsburg, N. J., who are descendants of 
 Mary, the youngest child of Francis Armstrong, the emigrant. Mr. Wood 
 has in his possession the original memoranda book, kept by Francis 
 Armstrong. 
 
 Francis Arjnsfrong was from Ulster County, Ireland. He was no doubt 
 a member of one of the Scotch families of the name who had migrated to 
 Ireland. He was married to Miss Deborah Lattimore, Feb. i, 1721. The 
 family tradition is that she was a descendant of Bishop Lattimore. They 
 with their first born son, William, in arms, came to America in 1723.

 lived in Orange County until about 1817, then migrated to 
 Groton, N. Y. , and from there in 1826, to Fulton, N. Y. He 
 was a stone mason by trade. All but two of their children went 
 to Fulton with them. Dorothy (Carr) Rowlee d. in 1834.

 They left their old home Aug. 6, of that year, and turned their faces west- 
 ward "to Amarach." They sailed from Londonderry Loch on the ship 
 "Main," Sept. 11, 1723, and landed in New York "ye 10 of December 
 following. ' ' 
 
 About 1760, Mrs. Deborah Armstrong died. In 1762 Mr. Armstrong 
 married Mrs. Marj' Ayers, widow of Rev. Enos Ayers, the first pastor of the 
 old and honored church at Blooming Grove, Orange Co. , N. Y. The second 
 Mrs. Armstrong, before marriage was Miss Mary Thompson. It is said she 
 was " esteemed to be remarkably pious." The will of Francis Armstrong 
 mentions wife Martha (?). Francis Armstrong died in 17S5 at the good old 
 age of ninety. The second Mrs. Armstrong survived him twenty years. 
 By the second marriage there were no children. He had the following : — 
 i. William, b. 1722. 
 ii. Archibald, 
 iii. John, b. Nov, 10, 1727. 
 iv. Robert. 
 V. Elsie.

 John Armstrong, third child of Francis and Deborah (Lattimore) b. Nov. 
 10, 1727, on the Armstrong farm, near Florida, Orange Co., N. Y., m. 
 Polly ]\IcWhorter. They settled at Sugar Loaf, Orange Co. , where he died 
 in 1797. His will mentions wife Sarah, (she was his second wife and d. in 
 1807), grandson John, son of James Armstrong, dec'd, Anne, wife of 
 Anthony Vaughan ; Jane, wife of John Hall ; Sarah, wife of Gilbert Saxton ; 
 Amy, wife of John Carr ; Martha, wife of David Owens ; Phoebe, wife of 
 Gersham Wells. 
 
 His executors were his brother Francis Armstrong and Major Henry 
 Bartholf, both of Warwick. 
 
 Witnesses to the will were : Robert McWhorter, James, Hannah, and 
 David Howells. 
 
 There is a family tradition that the name Armstrong originally, was be- 
 stowed upon a Highland Chief for his great courage and physical powers of 
 
^2 Heman Rowlee and his Descendants. 
 
 their gravestones were removed to the Mt. Pleasant Cem. about 
 1870.

 MARY ROWLEE was b. in Warwick, N. Y., April 15, 1785. 
 The " Records of the Dutch Reformed Church," under the cap- 
 tion " Marriages celebrated in the congregation of Warwick, 
 N. Y.," has the following entry: "Sept. 19, 1806, Jno. Blau- 
 velt to Polly Rowley." By the State Census of 1807, John 
 Blauvelt is recorded as renting property of an annual value of 
 ;^2o or over." For some time they lived in Orange Co., he being 
 engaged with his father in buying cattle and horses " up state " 
 and selling them in New York City, where they also lived for 
 
 body, and whose death was in this wise : In some battle or border fray, 
 being clad in armor, he accepted the challenge of the champion of the op- 
 posite clan to single combat, he killed his antagonist. The next day a 
 similar challenge was given by another champion, and again accepted by 
 him — he again killed his antagonist. The next day a challenge was given 
 by another and accepted by him. After the combat had been hotly main- 
 tained for a short time his horse was observed to turn back and come up to 
 the ranks wth his rider dead, still sitting in the saddle. 
 
 Scott knew well the character of the Armstrongs for courage and patri- 
 otism ; for when the chief was about to assemble his clans for some great 
 enterprise, he says to his summoning heralds in the ' ' Lay of the Last 
 
 Minstrel " — 
 
 " Ye need not go to Liddisdale, 
 
 For when they see the blazing bale 
 
 Elliots and Armstrongs never fail."

 Church "on examination" Nov. 13, 1814, and was dismissed 
 Sept. 18, 1820. It was about this latter date that they removed 
 to the lake region of Western New York, for their daughter 
 Mary was born in 1824, at Hector, Schuyler Co., N. Y. Her 
 father, in his will, made in 181 7, bequeathed $50 to the heirs of 
 John Blauvelt. Neither she nor any of her children are men-

 The following lines were composed by the late Elijah C. Rowlee, of

 Georgia, Oct. 29th, 1S64: 
 
 Lord, preserve and bless that dear one. 
 
 Shield her with Thy holy care ; 
 And when Thou art pleased to call her, 
 
 I pray thee, God, unite us there. 
 
 Keep her. Father, from temptation. 
 
 Make her life long and blest ; 
 Holy angels ever guard her. 
 
 Lead her gently to her rest. 
 
 Lord Jesus, in all the dearest love y 
 
 Unite her heart to mine. 
 According to Thy blessed law, 
 
 That we may reign in Thine. 
 
 Let me, oh Lord, share all her sorrows. 
 
 And all the trials of this our life ; 
 Let me to her become a blessing 
 
 Worthy the holy name of husband. 
 Love us, oh Lord, and circle o'er us 
 
 The halo of Thy immortal Son ; 
 And when death at last shall call us. 
 
 In heaven, dear Lord, still make us one. 
 
 Grant, oh Father, that no temptation 
 
 Will vows like ours e'er break or sever, 
 But true to Thee in all things, 
 
 Have a portion in God's blessing, ever. Amen. 
 
 I can think, dear \rife, of no better words than these to convey the feel- 
 ings of my heart at this time. They are precious to me. May God answer 
 this, our prayer for each other.
