William Alexander
Rowe born abt 1860 was my Great Grandfather. I don't know if he is the same one as you. I,too, am having a lot of trouble finding any information about the
Rowe family tree. I have come to a dead end after David
Rowe born abt 1787 and his wife Jemima L
Huffman. What I do know, is that Alexander or Albert was born in
North Carolina and married Matilda
Wiseman abt 1894 in
Spruce Pine North Carolina. They had two children, Leroy
Rowe and Minnie Lou
Rowe. Matilda died when Minnie was 3 or 4yrs old, which makes it about 1906. Not wanting to raise two small children on his own he married Emma
Corbin Drummond. This was her second marriage as well. Her first husbands last name was
Drummond. It was the name that appeared on my grandparents marriage certificate For some reason she kept
Drummond as her maiden name. She had no children with he first marriage and none with Alexander. My Aunt told me that him and Emma owned and ran Hotels. I believe they started one in
Ohio and ended up in
Michigan. My Grandmother used to tell me about her father being a dentist and he would travel by horse to people that needed him. I have some of his instruments. I don't think he was able to make a living at it because he did run a hotel at the same time. One other thing on my grandparents marriage certificate
Rowe was spelled two different ways,
Rowe and
Roe??? Hopefully this can help you. If this is the same
Rowe maybe we can help each other
