Research and source notes: Deborah Sweet -
1)There is a Third Mayflower connection (others are through ALDEN &
MULLINS via SOUTHWORTH), through the FULLERline, (said FULLER line also
connecting with the ROWLEY line). More work needs to be done to verify -
ie, documentation. It is on various ROWLEY & FULLERonline sites, showing
her ancestry as given in this report.
Edward FULLER>Samuel Fuller m. Jane (Lathrop)>John Fuller m. Mehitable
(ROWLEY, sis of Moseswho m. Mary Fletcher and was the Gr.Gfthr of
Ithamar Rowley, Dimmis's Husband)>John Fuller m. Mary Cornwall>Esther
Fuller m. Stephen GATES>Dimmis Gates m. Ithamar Rowley
This line makes Dimmis & Ithamar 2nd cousins, ie., their Gr.Grandparents
were brother and sister.
2) DOD - a. not later than 12/20/1825 -based on her Husband,
Ithamar Rowley's Will/Estate papers (see his notes forcomplete
transcription), being the date the will was written. No mention ismade
of wife, or former wife, or deceased wife Dimmis in any of the papers
relating to the 'will of real estate of Ithamar Rowley'. b. CEMETERY
VISIT, 7/7/01 - She is buried next to Ithamar, her stone is so badly
deteriorated, and had been poorly repaired at one time, that the dates
are almost impossible to make out. It reads as follows:
Sacred to the memory of Dimmis consortof Ithamar Rowley, Deceased
?September, October?, day is illegible, 182--(covered by badly rusting
iron strap), Aged 71 years, 10 months, --day(s?).
From the "Aged" given, I extrapolated the DOD to have been in either
Septemberor October of 1824, based on her verified DOB, even though the
stone COULD say April 11, but this is impossible to say with certainty. A
check of the cemetery records needs to be made. The 1824 date does fit in
with the above reasoning that she must have died before Ithamar made his
will in 1825.
c. DAR appl. of Dorothy Rowley (op cit, see Esther
Fuller notes) give DOD of 1/31/1829- I believe that the year was misread
off the stone, and that the 1829 should be 1824, again, because Ithamar's
1825 will does not name her at all. The 1/31 may be correct. It is to be
noted, however, that all other dates pertaining to Ithamar and Dimmis are
correct on the application.
3) The births of all of the children are in the Barbour Collection
for Chatham, Vol. 6, p. 137

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
will.
- The 12/11/1852 dod is taken from Gertrude King

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
