Cheryl,

Most of the Rowlands you listed are my relatives. The only ones I can't identify at this time is Cora and Walter. I assume they are buried in the Pleasant Hope Cemetery since I know where all the others are buried.

The remainder of this note may not be of interest to most of you, so will make it as brief as possible.

Buried in Union Grove Cemetery are John S. Rowland, my gr-gr-grandfather, and Miriam Rowland his daughter-in-law, wife of William Rowland, my gr-grandparents. John's birth date is a puzzlement. His stone says Apr.10, 1824 as does a newspaper notice of his death. Therefore I have accepted that date as the date his children considered as accurate. However at least 2 census records and a History of Chester Co. Tn. write up on his family indicate 1827 as his birth date. This family history also gives James' birth date as 1829 which corresponds to his age on the 1850 census. So I am still not sure date to believe. I have received verbal reports that Eliza (Case?) Rowland was buried in the Union Grove Cemt. but no record can be found to support this information.

Buried in Rock Prairie:

William, son of John, and his second wife Susan Barham Rowland

J. Wesley Rowland, son of Wm., and his wife Rosa, also their son Claude. Also since the book you quoted their other 2 sons Lester and Alva Lee.

Lettie, first wife of Troy who is the son of Wm. and Susan.

Sarah, first wife of Edgar son of Wm and Miriam.

Dorothy Fern, infant dau. of Edgar

I am very familiar with the Rock Prairie Cemetery as my grandmother Lillie Rowland Cobb, dau. of Wm. and Miriam, as well as her 4 children are all buried there. This of course includes my parents. This cemetery is located only about 3-4 miles south of the Case Cemetery which we have written about before.

Have a nice day.

Harold
