Nancy Rowe

I am reasonably confident that my 2d g-grandmother Nancy Bird Rowe (c. 1808-c. 1861) was a daughter of James "Wilson: Rowe 1787-1868 (b. VA, d. Hancock Co. GA) and Frances Pamela Casey (1789-1855) My confidence is based on having combed through the Hancock Co. GA census, I think it was the one for 1820, and finding no one but James with a daughter in Nancy's age cohort. We do know that Nancy Bird married Stephen Hiram Rowe in Hancock Co. in 1824. We know of 6 children, the eldest born I think in 1836. Since Nancy was sufficieintly fertile to have 6 kids from and after age 28 (approx.) I fear earlier children may have perished in a fire, flood, Indian raid, or some such. Family was in Arkansas in 1840 census, Gadsden Co., Fl in 1850, and neighboring Jackson Co., FL in 1860. Most of the daughters got married close to the start of the war. The one son, John Henry Rowe 1846-1922, joined the Confederate Army and was later a "Confederado" exile in Brazil. I have had contact (in my scant Portuguese) with descendants of his. John's sister Mary Elizabeth Rowe 1841-1882, wife of William Samuel Pope, was my great-grandmother.
