Son of Elizabeth Fuller and Samuel Rowley
Thomas Rowley "was one of the very earliest of our versifiers. He was one of the first settlers of Danby; and, on the orgnaization of that town, in 1769, was elected its first Clerk. He was also its first Representative in the General Assembly, being elected from 1778 to 1782. In 1778, he was the Chief Judge of Rutland County Court. He moved north to Shoreham VT around 1786 on the east shore of Lake Champlain where he built a hotel that is still in operation. He joined the Green Mountain Boys and was Ethan Allen's spokesman. He returned to Danby for the Revolution, then moved back to Shoreham.
There he resided till his death at his son Nathan's home. His verses were principally contributed to the Rural Magazine and the Bennington Gazette."
