Excellent! Do you know which Rowley child you’re descended from? Mum and I have just finished doing some interesting research about John Rowley (although we’re descended from Eliza Rowley, who…erm… wasn’t a Rowley actually). Also we wrote a legal paper for the Australian Law Journal on a legal case the Rowleys got involved in - could send you that.
Captain Thomas Rowley is my 5th great grandfather :).

Thanks Katy, so entertaining! Sounds like he had a way with language too!
I just did a search to see if I could find any information about him and it came up here ... all quite interesting.
What a marvellous forebear to have! He would indeed have been proud of you.
