It all happened in Ireland...
Ongoing research will probably identify the county in Ireland where the Rowan family were settled. I recall my mom mentioning both a County Mayo and a County Corke. Can anyone provide help here?

Ellen Rowan's parents were Honor and John Rowan. Commentary by Joan Hayes: So it seems that Great Grandpappy may have been a rebel and married a non-Irish gal... Honor Lynski?

***New Information*** about Ellen Rowan...
Grandma Ellen was NOT an only child!

The following information was researched and recorded by Joan Hayes. I am not sure of the year of research and I believe most of the information came to her through (uncle) William Byron.
To clarify some of the information, additional research is necessary.
