Mary Isbell

Birth: Jun. 30, 1788 South Carolina, USA Death: Sep. 1, 1858 Jackson County Alabama, USA

Daughter of Samuel Rowan (1764-1837), Revolutionary War soldier. Samuel Rowan, born 1764 in Pennsylvania, died March 18, 1837 in DeKalb County, Alabama (or Jackson County). He married his wife Elizabeth circa 1788 probably in Chester District, South Carolina. She died September 1, 1846 in DeKalb County, Alabama, according to some researchers. If she went to Alabama with her father and lived with him there as researchers have supposed, then she likely died in Jackson County. They lived in Section 13, just about a mile east of the Isbell Cemetery in Jackson County.

Most likely she was buried by her father in Jackson or DeKalb County, Alabama, rather than by her husband who preceded her in death in South Carolina. He was Levingston Isbell, son of Capt. Pendleton Isbell and Sarah Henderson. He and his parents' graves were located in the family (cemetery now under Lake Hartwell) but were disinterred and reburied here at Beaverdam Church Cemetery.

Samuel Rowan went to Jackson County, Alabama from South Carolina and reportedly received bounty land for military service. On an 1823 survey of Jackson County, Samuel Rowan had staked a claim to land (E½ SW of Section 13, T4S R4E) almost adjoining Matthew Summers (who married Elizabeth Isbell) and about a mile east of the Isbell Cemetery. He was also very near John Isbell, Levi Isbell, Miller Isbell, John Summers (who married Jemima Isbell), sons and sons-in-law of William Isbell, second cousin of Levingston Isbell who married Samuel Rowan’s daughter Mary. Also nearby was Samuel Williams Jr. (son of Hannah Isbell, daughter of Zachariah Isbell Sr.). Livingston Isbell was the son of Pendleton Isbell, first cousin of William Isbell's father Zachariah Isbell Jr. and aunt Hannah Isbell Williams.
