Rowden Messages

I guess I don't know where to start, I'm trying to figure out where I come from! I am the only daughter of Eric David Rowden, who is the son of Barbara Rowden and Charles Rowden. Never met any of my Rowden side nor do I know anything because Charles left when my father was two from California and went back to Oklahoma from what my grandmother knew. Barbara's maiden name was Collier and we were from Pryor Oklahoma and we lived very close to Main Street in pryor. If anybody knows us or has any information I would love to connect

My father's name was Billy Rowden, born in Iberia, MO. His father's name was Redus Rowden who married Ruth (Groves) Rowden. They had 2 children, Billy Rowden and Coleen Graves. I would love to know more about the Rowden's. I have researched and cannot find much at all.

Trying to find information on my great grandmothers family. As far as I can tell my great grandmothers name is Lizzie (possible Elizzie) Crawford, she also went by Lizzie Rowden. Her father was Colman Crawford and her mother Mary Rowden. I do not know if Mary was a first or middle name. I believe she was born in Tedas or Tennessee around 1882 but that is it that I can find. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello... Looking for information on my 2x Great Grandmother or any other Rowdens living in or born in Kentish Town around the same time. SARAH JANE ROWDEN b.abt.1851 in Kentish Town, London, England. d.bef.1901 in West Ham, London, England. She appears on the 1891 Census as Sarah Jane Ramsey married to a William H Ramsey. Also listed is a number of children and 3 step-children including my Great Grandfather George William Tucker. (He later adopted the Ramsey surname, which was passed onto me.) I have found their marriage certificate from 1881, which lists her name as Sarah Jane Tucker. Also she appear on the 1881 Census with the 3 children as Sarah Jane Tucker (Widow). GW Tucker's birth certificate lists Sarah Jane Tucker (Formerly Rowden), and William Tucker as the father. Later children of WH Ramsey and Sarah Jane also list Rowden as the maiden name. Sarah Jane Rowden and William Tucker are a complete dead-end for me. I cannot find marriage information, etc. So any help gratefully received. P.S. There are a Sarah Jane and William Tucker on the 1871 Census, with William from Stratton, Wilts. But I have followed this line and it does not match.

I am a descendant of the pilgrim John Howland through Thomas Rowdon. Look up the first US postage stamp engravers and you will find my Rowdon ancestors. Bosworth is the link from Hannah Howland.

Might Lorraine Rowden (Maiden Name) been in Penn. Dec.1949?

Hello, I am trying to find the name of the ship that sank in the Atlantic that Capt. John Rowden was aboard in about 1738. Thank you :)

Initially Philip Rowden’s family lived in Newark, NJ where is older brother George Rowden later became a prominent citizen of Newark and a partner in the engraving business Dickenson and Rowden. Philip Rowden married in Livingston, NJ in 1856 and had a son (William H. Rowden) born in 1857. By 1860 he and his 1st wife, Sarah Amanda Dickerson (Dickenson) ? , were living in Edwardsburg, Cass County, Michigan. Sarah died on 20 Jan 1861, and she is buried in SILVERBROOK CEM. - OLD, NILE TWP., BERRIEN CO., MICHIGAN. By 1862 Philip Rowden was a Baptist minister and he remarried on 14 May 1862 in nearby Elkhart, Elkhart County, Indiana, to Mary Knapp, born in Pennsylvania about 1835. Records show they were married by Rev. Loyal A. Alford, the uncle of Mary Knapp. By 1863 Philip Rowden was living across the Michigan border where he registered for the draft in Burr Oak, MI in July 1863 and was commissioned in the US Army's 1st Michigan Infantry as a Chaplain in Aug. 1863. He mustered out on 29 Sep 1864 at Weldon Railroad, VA.

I continue to research the family of Reverend Dr. Philip Rowden, (born abt 1929 in England). He immigrated as a child with his family to United States in 1834. My wife's Rowden family is descended from Philip Rowden and his youngest child Frederick Rowden and wife Bessie Emeline Clark. Philip went from Newark, NJ to Elkhart,IN > Bronson, MI > Miami County, IN > Rochester, Indiana.

Avis, you will find our family tree under Bow 2. If you look in the church records in Chumleigh, Devonshire you should be able to trace to James Edward Rowdon, our great-grand father. Let me know if there is more I can fill you in about. Lesley

Hi I'd like to see the Rowdon tree and gain more info on my mother's family. Her name is Eiizabeth Jane Rowdon and was born in 1916 Norwood, PA. She was the youngest child and her parents died before I was born. My mother moved to Allentown, PA so I never met all her brothers and her one sister. There was Mary, Ernest, Mathew, James. I'd like to know more about the family. I do know that a family member has many updates on the family as a tree. Now that I am in the UK for extended stays again I can look up the Rowdon person they wanted me to look up a long time ago.

Hi, I'm looking for my older siblings that would be half brother/sisters. My father was Delmar Eugene Rowden. He passed away in 1982.I believe two siblings names were Lynn and Connie... Please contact me if you think you maybe related.

Hey Rowdens I am doing a school project about my family tree but i cant figure out anything past my grandfather his Name was Ted Wayne Rowden And I need some advice.

I am not a biological Rowdon - However, my husband is Terence McCullough Rowdon. Born to Joan M. ( Hetue ) and Frank C Rowdon. I don't know Frank's mother's name - I do know that his father's name was Clarence. My husband and I have been estranged for the last 6 years . We have a child together whom will soon be 8 ( Terence Mitchel Rowdon ). He's wanting to know more about his dad's family and since we know not where he is .... if anyone knows that they're related to these particular Rowdons...it would help me out just a little. Also... my husband has 1 brother - Scott A Rowdon . I know that Frank has at least 1 sister ... but I can't remember her name as I never met her .

Hello I have been trying to track my fathers side of the family but I don't now very much about that side of the family. Any suggestions?

Hi all Rowdens! My name is Maria and my gg grandfather was Elijah A. Rowden b. 1791 Henry C. VA, through Roane Co. TN, then on to Cedar Co. MO where he is buried. He was married to Celia Hughes. I did learn that there a many variations of Rowden today! Then I found this page, WOW!!!! just looking for the missing pieces of the puzzle.

I am amazed at all the information about ''ROWDEN'' I dont know much about my name but my fathers name was William Rowden and I believe his fathers name was 'LEE'' and they were from Norman OK. Through-out the years Ive heard that the Rowdens originially migrated to Virginia in the late 1600's or early 1700's which corraberrated some of the information I found on this amazing website. If anyone has any knowledge of the Norman OK Rowdens please share. Most of my known family is actually in Oregon (Southern) and some in the North in Salem/Portland area. My name is actually Gary Lee Rowden 08/29/65 and I had a son about 3yrs ago and his name is William August Rowden. My grandmothers name was Myrtle (married to Lee Rowden). I live in Mesa Az and was actually contacted by a person with the Rowden last name which I had thougt was a pretty rare name until I venture onto this website. Now my curiosity is awakened with glee and wonder. Look forward to hearing from people. Thank you.

I just joined this site, but have been trying to find any information on a William Henry Rowden that immigrated from England(don't know exactly which part) and settled in the Brooklyn, NY area. He married Sarah Louise Butman and had a child Mary Rowden, b. 4 Aug 1845 in NYC, who married Albert Baxter King on 16 Sep 1868 in NYC. If anyone has any information about William Henry Rowden or Sarah L. Butman(Rowden) I would so greatly appreciate any leads/info available. Thanks much! Bruce Rowden King

My great grandmother was Cordie Rowden, born 1880 in Texas.

My mother's maiden name is Rowden and I was just curious about it as I research our family tree.

My grandmother was a Rowden. I have followed my genealogy back to John Rowden born 1700, and died in the Atlantic Ocean in a shipwreck. He was a member of the British Merchant Marines. How can I locate him in England? I believe his son, John Rowden Jr. was born in Kent in 1737. He then brought his family to Virginia. Are there Marine logs that would contain information about the shipwreck, or at least about John Rowden Sr. participation in the the Merchant Marines?

SWEET!

My great, great, grandfather was Elisha E. Rowden, and is directly related to John Rowden, born 1700, from Kent, England. John was a sea captain and married a woman surnamed Johnson. Together they had a son, John Rowden (about 1730. I would appreciate information.

Daughter of Leslie G Rowden of Picher, OK

I married a Rowden. My father-in-law has an Association called the International Rowden Family Association and he held some reunions back in the 80's and 90's. Our branch of the family came from Yorkshire and the family crest has a rooster atop it. Do you know anything about these Rowdens that you could share with us?

Hello from FLorida where we are waiting for Hurricane Frances to pass over the entire state.

My name is wayne couch, and my grandmothers maiden name was Rowden. My Uncle, Wilfred Couch, has done quite a bit of geneology onour famil, and pointed me to this website. I am getting married in a couple of weeks, and are planning on visiting Euorpe next year and would like to see where my family is from. I attached my Uncles e-mail below. "You asked about ancestral England: The Couch family goes back a long way in Cornwall centered in and around Camelford on the Camel River... a legendary home of King Author ... there is a "slaughter bridge" at the alleged site of Author's battle with Modred. Tintagel the location of the castle is near by. The ruins are still there and can be toured. Your ggrandmother's family, the Tinneys were from Tintagel. Paula and I stay across the bay in Port Isaac when we were there 4 years ago. (Don't know if I ever told you - I had my 75th birthday dinner in the Eiffel Tower - I have a e-mail corespondent that we visited with Thomas John Couch(same name as your great grandfather) Tom and his wife Jo - jocouch85@hotmail.com you might email them and stop for tea. they live in Launceston ( remember the name is pronounced cooch not cowch). Remember if you rent a car you must drive on the left. Get an automatic shift because there is enough confusion with out having to shift with the wrong (right)hand. Cornwall has a great history really a heritage to be proud of, get a book and discover one of the oldest of the Celtic nations. It's history is much greater than the Scotch or the Irish. As far as your maternal grand mother's family the Rowdens refer to www.rowdensurname.org Let me know if you need more." I definitely like your website, and look forward to visiting it often. Wayne Couch

Gavin I know you don't carry we second cousins anymore but thought I would update your data base anyhow. You website continues to far exceed any family site I have ever found.Thanks for continuing a great service.

Looking for Rowdens in the Des Moines,Ia area. My Grandfather was Leo Clay Rowden he had several brothers (Donald, I cant recall the rest) and a sister.

I accidently stumbled across the Descendant Pedigree for William Rowden. I actually entered Irma Beltz to search the internet and the Pedigree site came up. After scrolling through the names of Rowden, I found my father, Thomas Orrin Rowden. Then I went to your website, how neat! I would like to note that Irma Beltz was not my mother, she was my grandmother on my mother's side. My mother was Irma (Calhoun) Rowden. My sister's are listed properly, however my sister Lynda spells her name Lynda (not Linda). Also, my name is spelled Shelley not Shelly. My dad lives in Tucson, Arizona and did some research years ago on our family history. I have this information and will dig it out to compare to the information you have. My dad would have loved this website, unfortunately he had Alzheimer's. My mother passed away on September 14, 2001 (I believe the stress of 9/11 killed her). I would love to add some pictures of my family to your website, if possible. Please let me know how I would go about doing this, along with making any corrections. Thank you for having this site. I have really enjoyed this. Take care and stay well, Shelley (Rowden) Lockwood

To further what i wrote earlier, mainly the Rowden family i have started out in Virginia. My John Jr Rowden b. either 1735 or 1738(Kent, England) married Sara Echols who was from Virginia. John's father was also born in Kent, he was born about 1700. He was a sea captain. 1- Was a Captain in the British Merchant Marine, on a voyage to the colonies he brought his wife (last name of Johnson) and his young son John Jr. born about 1738. To make a home in Virginia with the intention of returning his ship was lost at sea in the Atlantic Ocean. From Virginia my direct line came north to Missouri where some of the family settled. My direct line continued onwards to Illinois, and from there finally settled in Iowa around 1880. Am looking of course for more information on John Sr and truly wish to find his family. I know he married Elizabeth Johnson who most likely was from the Kent area as well?

My Grandmother is a Rowden, her ancestors originated from Kent, other than that i know little of where he or his son was born, nor do i have his exact date of birth. I know he was born in about 1700. Given what we did know about him, about how old he was when coming to America and when he died at sea, we can only generalize the 1700. His name was John, so not easily looked for, especially with me an entire ocean away. But running across sites like yours helps to inspire me to look further, to search harder and to not give up! I so enjoyed your site, and i have yet to look at it all! Thank you for sharing with the world!

I had no clue that there were so many rowden's in Canada, hell yes. All of my kin come from the south, Alabama and Georgia. If you know of some Southern Rowdens send me an email.

Hello Rowdens! My father is Donald Roy Rowden, born in Oklahoma and later from California. He's a retired Navy officer,75 years old and has been married to my mom, Ruth, for 49 years. My wife and I are avid frisbee golfers-it's fun! Great to see all these Rowdens-2001 Florida State Disc Golf Champion

I just found this sight and hope that I can find some relatives that may get me started on finding out where I came from. My father was Lloyd E. Rowden, son of Earnest Rowden of Pontiac, Mich. My mother is Katherine Rowden, daughter of Frank and Theresa Leonhardt.

Father was Allen Leon Rowden Born in California.Grandfather John Cecil Rowden, I believe born in Oklahoma. I am told that the family had Cherokee roots in OK. Just trying to follow up on that connection. If anyone has any info, please Email me. Thank you.

i was born in knoxville, tn. but now live in texas.e-mail me any time.

I am very pleased to find out about our name...Thanks

Born May 13, 1933 Skiatook, Oklahoma,Fathers name Allcy Amos Rowden

I am not sure where my descendents are from, my grandfather was Gilbert Rowden.

We had always heard that our family was from the Yorkshire area of the UK, and that originally, the Rowdens' weren't from England, but rather were from the Germanic states. My father had traced the family back to 1066, the Battle of Hastings, when there were Rowdens' that rode in with William the Conquerer.

My fathers name is Ronald Gene Rowden and is a twin to Donald Rowden, he has many sisters: Florence, Cathrine, Charlot, Louise and Leola Fee. brothers: Chester, Donnie, Benjermin jr. Their fathers name was Benjermin H. Rowden and his fater was William h. rowden. If anyone knows these people, please email me.

I am interested in finding out my family geneology. Please let me know any more information you might have. Thank you, michele

My wife is a Rowden descendant of Jersey County, Illinois; has some info on family.

As a follow-up to my initial entry, my father had two sisters, Estelle and Vivian, and three brothers, Manzie (or MM), Clifford, and Quincy. I know that Quincy has been dead for over eighty years. All of the males were in WW1. My father was the youngest of the family. There were two step brothers living over 50 years ago in the Washington, DC area and they may have spelled their names as Rouden. Again, if anyone hav more details about the names, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, Cliff

Hi all, my father was born in Orlando, FL. in 1902. His name was Wyette. Any one know about him? Cliff

I am the daughter of Clarence McCullough Rowdon son of Sarah McCullough and Elmer Rowdon of Chester, Delaware, PA. I have just started tracing dad's family.

I am the granddaughter of Frank Elmer Rowdon, Sr. son of John Rowdon. I have been working on the family tree on this side of the ocean. Anyone who would like to see what I have accomplished can go to PNMeek.home.att.net. Hope to be hearing from family members.

I have grown up as a Rowden my whole life, but am only now getting to know this side of my family by beginning a relationship with my father. I know very little about who my family is and would really like to learn more. I know my father (Douglas K. Rowden)is from California, Los Angeles area, and I know that his father (name unknown) died about 20 years ago. That is all I know... if anyone has any knowlege that might help me out or any insight I would really appreciate contact! Thanks so much... I had no idea there were so many of us out there!

I AM TRYING TO LOCATE SEAN PATRICK MCKENNA. PLEASE RESPOND.

Great site. It was a strange feeling to finally learn the etymology of my last name. I always heard that it was probably German or French. My family even spent some years in England (Bury St. Edmunds) and we never knew how close we were to a town that bore our name. Crazy. Thanks again. I should probably add that my father, Juel Rowden, grew up in and around Jacksonville, Il in case anyone is checking for roots in the Midwest.

my last name is rowden cool web site

im, proud to be a roudon this is the first time i found a site other than cabinet roudon french site ? glad your all here have a great day.

MY MAIDEN NAME IS ROWDEN,MY FATHERS NAME WAS CHARLES FRANCIS ROWDEN. HIS FATHER'S NAME WAS FRANCIS PATRICK ROWDEN

I am very scarce on any details of my heritage. I would love to learn more but really don't know much about any of it. I know that I have deceased relatives such as nona and erwin rowden but that's about it. And I was told that Rowden was English. If anyone would like to contact me I would greatly appreciate any detail at all. thanx.

I am searching for information on Ezekial Roden and Felix Grundy Roden. Their last name could be spelled any of the numerous Roden ways. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Very interesting website!

My maiden name is spelt Rodan and this is the closet site I got to getting info on my family. My great grandfather Francisco Rodan Capt of a pirate ship arrived in Fiji from Spain in the 1800's. My father's name is John Rodan and grandfather Lazaro Rodan. I have family in Fiji, and New Zealand where I have just moved from. Hope I get lucky from this site.

I'm looking for relatives of Albert P. Rowden (1859-1936) California from Cass county, Missouri some time during the civil war. Family tales say that his father owned a horse ranch in Missouri and that a northern army came and took all of the horses. When his father joined up to fight the north,(and ended up dying in a northern prison,) Albert and the family packed up and came to California. --Or so the story goes-- If any one can help me find Albert's parents or siblings (I know of one named Jane) I'd much appreciate it.

I love your web-site - thanks for sharing! In the 1901 Census from Devon/Devonport(looks like "Keyham" ward) there is an Abraham Rowden,age 59;wife,Elizabeth,age 57,children,Ernest,George,and Herbert. Also Abraham's sister, Mary Martyn, widow age 71. I am interested in Mary as I think she may be the mother of William H. Martyn,born abt 1857 in Crediton,Devon. If I could find out more about her it may be the key to unlock my efforts to find my husband's ancestors. Thanks for any help offered!!Cheryl

I am trying to locate one of my high school classmates, Betty Ann Eichelberger Brady. She is an RN and the last contact I had from her was several years ago and she was living in Tampa, FL. I would like to know how to find her now or have her contact me. I am a member of Classmates and have tried to contact her through that. To date, she has not sent an e-mail. Thank you very much. Marianne H. Vance(1963 Eastwood HS Syracuse, NY.)

Just had a friend show me this site and enjoyed it very much, as I am the daughter of Winifred Joan Rowden that married Mason Warren Jr. Thank you, will past it on to my brother also…

I am trying to find my family roots, I know that my great grandfather was Frank Elmer Rowdon Sr. I do not know where the family name came from, or when and where we arrived in the United States. I also am looking for the link between the "Rowdens" and the "Rowdons". If anyone has any information I would greatly appricate it.

I was looking into my family history.

Just curious

Really enjoyed the site. Thank you.

There are a few of us Rowdens in Kansas too!

What a remarkable site you have put together. I had no idea my heritage ran so deep. My mormon brother has traced our lineage to a James Rowden who immigrated to the U.S.about late 1700's. As far as notables my father J.R.Jake Rowden was a 2 time all american football player and coached major college football and was highly revered and respected by the many young men he coached over the many years. Great site ! Thank you

Hello my name is brandon i didnt think there was that many rowdens well there is and i want to see if i am related to any of them i want to meet my day charley rowden i have never met him my mom left him before i was born i think he lives in missouri

Great website: I am proud to be a Rowden. My Mother use to tell me that all Rowdens are related. I wonder if she even had an idea how many of us there are. I am just getting started on a genealogy study but have no records to go on. My father was Harley Rowden son of William D. Rowden step son of Arleigh R. Rowden all from the mining areas of Joplin,Mo. Picher, Ok. Ouapaw, Ok. I could really use some help. I don't think my family ever recorded any event except in a Bible which I do not have access to. Thanks for the website; thanks for any help I can get.

my maternal grandmother was Dorothy Rowden, married into the matthews family in England and came back to America with her husband, Wilbur Matthews. If you have more information on her, please contact me.

I have been researching the SHARLAND family for many years & hiked into Sandford, Devon to find where my greatx3 grandmother, Sarah (nee Sharland) Rowden is buried. Her husband remarried & brought the 4 yr. old daughter, Emma Sharland Rowden to New York. Later they moved west to Lancaster, Wisconsin, where they are all now buried. Until I came across your Rowden website (which came up on google.com under Sharland), I hadn't thought to research the Rowden connection. Samuel Rowden's decenden are still living in the Lancaster, WI area. I also have photos of Emma Sharland Rowden (Walker), and her daughter, Nellie Sharland Walker (Barnette)from the 1850's and onto 1934 when Nellie died. Sharland Huffaker

Hi, I am trying to research MARY ANN SAVANNAH ROUTON/ROWDEN, b on Indian Reservation in Indian Territory

I was born on April 26, 2002.

as long as ive had my computer it never donned to me to look for other rowdens on the internet.......dewey

Interestingly I had no idea there were this many Rowdens. It is great to see so many people whom I share a name. Maybe someday, I will meet one or two of you. I have been under the impression the name originated from a small clan in the hills of Scotland or England. There are not many Rowdens back in Vermont, only my family that I know of. I think at sometime an ancestor came down from Canada because of the lack of the surname in my area. However, on a boat from the UK is also possible. If anyone has any ideas for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Both of my grand parents (Scott Rowden, my father named me after him.) died while I was still very young, so I have not been able to gather much information. I do know that my father was born in New Hampshire, which is about it. Thanks!

Great website. I was originally born in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Looking for information and background information about my grandfather--Robert Moore Rowdon who lived in Philadelphia. He passed away in the 40's or 50's. He was married to Edith Mae Curfman. My grandmother did not even mark his grave. Where did he come from? Why did he settle in Philadelphia? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm Looking for information on my great-great grandfather who lived in Dunville Quebec, his name:Schuyler Moore.

Looking for info on Wilma Lorene Rowden (maiden name). She had a child in June, 1950 in Laclede county, MO and gave him up for adoption. If you have any info about her please let me know.

Still looking!! ********************* Kirk McVittie Date: Jul 15, 1998 19:21 Address: Farmington MI US Email: parolepop@aol.com I am currently on vacation and have, along with my 5 year old son, begun in earnest to track down my family roots. Today, at the Grand Lawn Cemetery in Detroit, MI, I located the grave of Lena Rowden (2/5/1873 - 3/16/1957), my paternal grandmothers mother. The Rowdens', I believe, still have a number of folks in the Lapeer, Michigan area. Would be greatly interested in contacting those of this branch of the family

Just stumbled across information that I'm related to Rowdens of Maries/Osage County, Missouri. I have a couple of generations but I'm looking for more info. I'm willing to share info with others on this branch. William Edward "Med" Rowden married Alpharetta Berry. They had seven children: Clarence Ovid, Minnie Ellen, William Claude, Nettie May, Almon Earl, Agnes Irene and Ralph. I know that the family lived next to Asa Rowden in Missouri. But I've not been able to prove a connection to Asa yet. If anyone else is researching this line/area please contact me. You Brits really have your act together when it comes to websites. I have a cousin on my mom's side (Garbett) who I've worked with and our www site is set up similar but not as extensive. Maybe I'll have to have Pete come check out this site for more ideas, especially when we start uploading our family tree. Cheers, Laura

Beautifully planned and executed, your site is one of the easiest genealogical venues to navigate that I have had the pleasure of visiting. Rotan is my mother's family (I don't really hyphenate my name!) most likely from the Wrotens of South Carolina and, like many sound-alikes in the Old South, is thought to wander back through Ezekiah Raughton/Rawton of Jamestown to the Dorset Roughtons, et al. Considering the volatile nature of early orthography, I suspect a Rowden or two has ended up in a Roughton tree and vice-versa. The Rowdens would certainly be welcome in mine! With every good wish, Raydon (a village in Essex,

Just wanted to say that I"m happy to be a Rowden and not a darnell and thank you aunt Janice for putting up with me love you and happy mothers day

I was in Exeter in 1998 doing research and kept on running into strange time/date information re my ggrandfather. I finally figured out that there were 2 Thomas Eggbeers born in Ashburton. Devon in about 1840. They each also married an Elizabeth. I finally sorted it out to my Thomas being born in 1843 and married to Elizabeth Butchers of Woodland, Devon. Your Thomas was born in 1834 and married Elizabeth Satterly. It took some headscratching and scratch paper to sort it out. CHeers, Phil

Hi, i just came across this site. I had no idea there was this many Rowden's. My fathers name is Chester A Rowden, and all i know about him is that he lives somewhere near Stillwater, Ok.

very interesting page i never knew that there were so many rowdens

Hi again. I've posted here before. I just came across some more Rowden information, and if any of you can help me find out more about my Rowden ancestors, I'd appreciate it. You see, I am one of three children of Gary Ray Rowden (b. 1948) and Suellyn McDowell Rowden. I am 22. Dad is 1 of 7 children born to Charlie Mack Rowden (b. 1917) and Amy Mildred Cripps Rowden. They are living in Murphysboro as well. Charlie Mack Rowden was born (and spent some childhood) in Roane County, Tennessee. His parents were James Shadrack Rowden and Annie Francis Palmer Rowden. This is where the tree ends for me. So, please, if anyone has more information about this line and James Shadrack Rowden's ancestors, please e-mail me! Thanks! :)

Hello! I had no idea the name Rowden was so common. I have been trying to find out the origin of this name i.e., whether it's English, German, Irish, etc. My maiden name is Rowden and I was raised in Boerne, Texas. My father was Berry Jefferson Rowden who was born and raised in the Llano/Marble Falls, Texas area in November of 1923 and he passed away in Boerne, Texas in 1970. His parents were Raymond Frank Rowden and Katie Haile Rowden. I'm not absolutely certain but I believe some of my family originally came from MO. This is a great site that I will bookmark and return to often. If anyone does know the origin of this name, I'd be interested to know...and if anyone cares to e-mail me with comments or more info, please feel free...Thanks

I am just starting to look up my family tree. My father was George Rowden son of george & Leffie Rowden.

Hi there. Just checking this cool site out again after a long time away. I wish I knew more about my branch of the Rowden family roots. I am originally from Southern Illinois, Jackson County in fact, and my father is Gary Rowden. His father is Charles Rowden, and Charles (Grandpa) has several brothers and sisters, including Cecil, Johnny and Margaret. I think that my grandpa's parents originally lived in Tennessee. Beyond that, I don't know too much about our history, but if there is anyone out there who can help, I'd greatly appreciate it if you would email me. I really don't know when we came to the United States, and where from exactly, although probably from England somewhere. Please let me know if you can be of some help to me as I trace my family tree.

I forgot to mention that my grandpa, Charles Rowden, was born Dec. 14, 1917, if that would help anyone out there who might know something about my branch of the Rowden tree. My dad was born in 1948 in Murphysboro, IL. Hope someone can help! :)

Thanks

My Parents grew up in Kansas,USA

I lived in the London area for about two years ago from `1965 to 1967 and did some researchk on my name. I traced the family to Wiltshire, England. I found three graves in back of a church, and the oldest of them lived around 1780 or so.

If anyone knows of Rowdens in west Texas, please let me know. to east Texas from Brownfield, Texas. If anyone knows of Rowdens in west Texas, please let me know.

My name is one of many other ways to spell Rawden. It used to be the old way to spell it but the families decided to change the surnames. One of my kinfloks has made a 3 inch book about our family history. he has it traced back to the 11th Century A.D. If you have any info about my family or have any questions about it, write me at my email adress.

I have kin that has traced my family roots all the way to the first for of Roden and etc. The first original name was Rawden. There is a place in England that still stands named Rawden Castle. You might know where that is. Our different families diverged and formed many different families with Roden, Rowden, Rhoden, and many others as their surnames. This is only part of a 3 inch book on my families history.

My great-grandmother was Melinda Caroline Rowden. Her married name was Slavens. I am not sure where she was born but died in either Empire or Galena, Kansas. She may have been from Indiana or Ohio. She was Native American (Cherokee). I'm am just beginning to trace the Native American part of my family. I've always been told that John Davenport is where this heritage began. My grandmother remembered visiting him on a reservation. I do not know if he is Melinda's father or grandfather. There are alot of Rowdens here in the southwestern part of Missouri. If anyone has any information please e-mail. Thanks so much.

My Grandfather & Grandmother were both from Wales and entered the states through Toronto- Detroit.

I am looking for the parents of my grandpa, Paul Emerson Rowden. I know that Great grandpa was a preacher in Walnut Grove, MO. His children were Eva, Jewell, Dean, Earl and my grandfather Paul, nearly all of whom lived in the Kansas City, Kansas area. My grandparents Paul and Dannie Dillie Link Rowden were married around Rome, MO in 1920. Any long lost cousins out there?

I have never really gotten on the net before and I wanted to see if there might be Rowdens in the world other than my little "clan". I was so overwelmed to find so many and want to learn so much more on my family. I'm hoping that maybe I can find information on my beloved, dearly missed grandfather's family. Alfred Daniel Rowden (my "granddad" and "A.D." to friends and family) was a most respected and loved man who finally "went home" in May of 1994. He once told me that he thought the Rowden name might be Irish but wasn't sure. I can't wait to find out more so I can pass the Rowden traditions on to my children and grandchildren. Thank you so much for this website and I will be doing deeper research now that I know where I can find my history. Tammie Rowden McCrory (I love you Granddad!!!! Rest In Peace!!!)

Hello my father Raymond A. Rowden has researched the history of the Rowden family here in America,tracing it back to England 1638

My father was a Rowden, unfortunately I do not have access to him and therefore I do not know much about my "roots". I was told that my paternal grandfather lived in Oklahoma and that we have native American (possibly Cherokee) in our blood. If anyone has any information on Native American Rowdens', please contact me via Email. Thanks so much!

My Father was born on Rowden Road in Ellenwood, Henry County, Georgia. Ellenwood is a small "suburd" south of Atlanta.

I was wondering if the other Rowden families were in the fishing business. The Rowdens from Brixham, Devon had alot of sailors-fisherman, ship captains, and many of their descendants went to the sea as sailors too.(including myself) Keep up the good work Gavin!

Great site, I like to see that there are a lot of Rowden's out there in this big world of ours.
