I may be coming in rather than late to the scene but after almost 30 years of researching Rowley and especially Henry Rowley, I have to ask where the breakthrough came through that @John Rowley is really @Henry Rowley's father?

I see no evidence presented to support Henry Rowley, of Falmouth as son of anyone. I disconnected him from parents and locked relationships.

Thank you Howton

Hey Good Morning, Sorry about the delay in getting back to you, my work schedule was too hectic to allow for this until the weekend. You may already be aware of the site notated above. I have been trying to get my head around the logic of these charts, and hoping my perception is correct. I will attempt to find and get you the "link" for the source of the link between these two. I have been looking through this stuff and really interested for over six years and all of the information for what I have amassed has been from free sources. I know they say you get what you pay for but the only failures are the ones where we have not learned anything. So since you have been doing this way longer than me, I am wondering if i can ask you a few questions.
So am I correct that from this standpoint 1- W.H.Rowley, is the father of everyone labeled - "2", and the "3's" are the children of the respective "2's they are under, in the Branch six chart?
Also then does that mean all the "1's" in each of the charts below are brothers or sisters" ?
If So, according to this "1 - William Henry ROWLEY (abt 1762-12 Apr 1850)" is the 3rd Great Grand Father of My Grandmother listed as "6-Tillie WESLEY sp: Paul BELOAT".
Anyway like I mentioned above I will locate where I found the info and get back to you.

How about son Thomas Rowley/Rowell of Windsor, CT? Should Henry be named the father of a son born 1640ish, who married Mary Denslow, daughter of Henry Denslow of Windsor, CT. I only find a book and a bunch of trees supporting this connection.

Should Thomas remain connected to Henry? Thanks!

Thomas Rowley, of Windsor

First let me answer Tammy: There is a whole page on RowleyResearch.org that explains in detail, but her’s a thumbnail: Each branch is a separate lineage leading from a separate immigrant. So Branch 1 has a different head (1-01) than Branch 2 (2-.01) and they are not related to the best of my knowledge. All numbers starting with a 1- are descendent of 1-01 (which is about 85% of the Rowleys in the USA). There are a few exceptions where we have a single head who is not an immigrant, was born in NY, but we have no idea who his parent were. This is Branch 6, and I really like to connect him properly, probably to either Branch 1 or 2. Anyway, a son of Henry is 1-2.01 and a third generation great-grandson would be 1-3.001 or even 1-3.099 (I'm not looking at the numbers, just using examples). The first number is the branch. The 2nd number is the generation (except after 7 generations), and the last number is a unique number identify the specific individual. After 7 generations it gets more confusing because there are so many more descendants, so the 7th generation number is kept in the number and then the generation number is added after and another unique number, for example, William Henry Rowley (1-7-.0013/10.026) is the son of Sylvester Rowley (1-7.0013) and that distinguishes him from William Henry Rowley (1-7.0043/10.0001) son of William (1-7.0045) and Elizabeth (Wolfe) Rowley Does it make more sense now?

To Christine: @Thomas Rowley heads his own Branch as 2-01. He appears in NEHGR 5:247 in the list of Freemen of Windsor, CT, Oct 7, 1669. He also appears in NEHGR 5:361 "Early records of Windsors, CT.; Spencer, Ernst. Rowley Researcher; Barbour Index to CT Vital Records; American Marriage Records before 1799; and Stiles, Henry R, AM, MD. Th History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut Including East Windsor, South Windsor, Bloomfield, Windsor Locks, and Ellington 1635-1891. Hartford, CT: Press of the Case, Lockwood & Brainard Co., 1892 (pgs 667-669). And NO Thomas should NOT be connected to Henry. He is not related, except maybe back in England were we don't have records. That's why DNA is needed. We have three DNAs that match for Henry (or more) on FamilyTreeDNA, do you know a male Rowley from branch we could get tested?

Sorry for my many typos, I hope you can still understand.

Maybe, I should also say that I run the http://www.RowleyResearch.org website that I inherited from Tedd Rowley and Ernst Spencer before they each passed away.

I have contacted over 100 different people that claim to know who the father of Henry Rowley (born about 1598 in England) is.

Not one has ever responded with any documentation. The search continues.
