Descendants of Henry Rowley:
NOTE: Ascendency of Demmis - if infoin the notes sections of her
ascendants are marked RRW, It means they are from the above website
source. I do this to keep from having to type the same thing over and
over again.
3) AKA - Dimonis per RRW - Her name is, however, Demmis - as
confirmed by her Father's estate papers which bear her signature,and her
record of marriage in the Barbour Collection for Chatham.
4) DOD - Living in Sharon, Schoharie Co., NY as w/o Osias [sic] on
4/10/1830 per signature on papers relating to her father Ithamar Rowley's

1) From RRW:
AKA - Clara - this isalso the birth name which appears in the
Barbour Collection for Chatham, although the entry for her 1st marriage
gives Clarissa
Need to Confirm - dod;
2nd spouse- dob,dod - Asa
2 children - Amanda & Clarissa
Ackley?
2) Per her Father Ithamar Rowley's will - They apparently tried
unsuccessfully to find Clarissa, as there is a copy of the publication
notice which ran for 6 wks inthe newspaper, Albany Argus. Publication
beginning 3/19/1830 and sworn to 4/23/1830. She was last known to be
married to Asa Ackley and living in Brooklyn, Cuyahoga Co., OHIO (on the
outskirts of Cleveland). She had not been found as of 5/3/1830 when
Demmon Rowley, co-executor of the estate, signed off on the services done
for all other heirs.

Research and source notes: Deborah Sweet -
1) Name - RRW has name Lynda; also, RRW had AKA Melinda. Lynda is
the way it appears in her Father's will, butthe cert. birth record
(below) has her born as LINDA.
2) DOD - extrapolatedfrom Father Ithamar Rowley's will, in which
she is stated to be deceased andher husband George Gates signs
Guardianship papers to represent the 4 minor (of a total of 8) children.
I cannot ascertain from the papers, where they were living, other than
that it may have been in the area, as George signed several papers as
Guardian, and all of the dates are close to the dates of the signatures
of other heirs known to be living in and near Schoharie Co.
3) I have yet to search for her death/burial records, but am
assuming it was in thesame area, Schoharie/Otsego Counties, NY
