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.

The Rowdens of southern Oregon are a career criminal family. Nicholas James Rowden is a thief currently wanted for 2 felonies in Josephine County and his equally POS dad is a professional squatter.

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.

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 :)
Kit Crawford   06/04/2016 17:04 , Tennessee, United States.
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.
Kit Crawford   06/04/2016 17:03 , Tennessee, United States.
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
Avis Hardcastle kirwi   28/03/2016 03:19 Pennsylvania, USA.
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.

I am looking tor information on the Abraham Echols Rowden/Rachel Cheek family who moved from Henry Co, VA to Roane Co, TN somewhere around 1800. I can pinpoint that Penina Rowden (daughter) married George Delozier in 1808 in Roane Co, TN. I can't pinpoint when the family left Virginia. If anyone has that information, I would be interested in it.

Kimberly (Schroeder ) Rowdon   27/03/2012 20:24 Temple, Texas, United States.
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 .

GARY ROWDEN   27/11/2011 20:00 MESA, AZ, United States.
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.
Bruce King   02/11/2011 21:15 Northridge, CA, United States.
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 Grandmother was born in Missouri and named Eva Rowden. Her father, Mac Albert Rowden is the descendant of John Rowden, born 1838 in Virginia, and died 16 April 1817 in Roane County, Tennessee. Our thread comes to an end with John, and we, of course, wish we knew his father.

Janet Post   30/12/2006 18:41 Galena, Illinois, U.S.A.
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?

My great-great grandfather was William P. Rowdon of Wisconsin. My great-grandfather was John Rowdon (Sept. 11, 1864-Nov. 14, 1936) from the Lancaster and Fennimore, WI, area. He married Lillie Cora Tuckwood and had five children: Mabel (Mrs. Harry Garthwaite)(my grandmother who is deceased), William Thomas Rowdon (died at age 17), Glen Rowdon of Fennimore, WI (now deceased), Arnold Rowdon (died in infancy), and Maurice Rowdon of Amite, LA (now deceased). My grandmother, Mabel Rowdon Garthwaite, and my grandfather, Harry Lee Garthwaite, had two children, Chester Allen Garthwaite (now deceased), and Ivanelle Garthwaite Manning of Kansas (still living).

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

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?
Jesy Shepard   18/02/2004 19:55 Venice, Florida, USA.
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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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,

Family information suggests that my husband, Charles H. Mason is descended from John Rowden who came to Virginia in the Colonies in the 1730's. Proof and further information is needed.

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 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! :)
Theresa Ann Rowden Gomez   15/10/2000 02:23 San Antonio Texas USA
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

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! :)

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.

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.

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!!!)

I honestly thought it would be practically impossible to find any Rowdens. So here I am on my very first search, and the first page brings up Rowdens. I am a descendant of Albert Rowden of Cass County, Missouri. His horses were confiscated by the Union army, so to get even, he joined Quantrell's Raiders. Spend the majority of the Civil War in a prison camp. Moved to California after the war. His son, Albert, jr. worked for a stagecoach company in the Napa Valley. I think the family was from Ohio prior to Missouri, but I know nothing before that. I'd love to hear from other Rowdens! Thanks for such a great site! I've already learned a lot!

Thank you for providing this web page. My husband believes an ancestor of his came to Virginia in the 1600's but we haven't found any proof. I am just beginning to explore the internet for information.

I am the son of J.R Rowden (born 1925, Blue Ridge, TX). He is the son of William Rowden (born 1897, Oklahoma Territory). He is the son of James Rowden (born 1869, Kansas?). Need information beyond this point. Family legend has it that father of James was William. If you have further information or would like family tree from James forward, please contact us. We have a whole pile of Rowdens out here in Arizona!

Was wondering if you ran across the spelling Rawdon,Rodden. Rawdon England (near York to the west) is where my cousin Paul Rodden researched and was able to write his book. Rawdon Hall still stands. I also was told to search Somerset for more Rodden's. Got any information about any of the above? Thanks Pat

Kirk McVittie   15/07/1998 19:21 Farmington MI US
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

Hello from Oklahoma. I am the 7th of 9 children of Marion Rowden b.13Nov1909 d. 21Dec1984 and Mary Ann Feuerborn b. 15May1918 d.15Sep1988. My grandparents were John Alexander Rowden and Mary Emmaline Swift. I have a lot of scattered genealogy information, and usually try to match the stories up with ones my Daddy told me about. One is "When the Mayflower landed, Rowdens were on the shore ready to greet them." This corresponds to a Salem MA census record of a John Rowden in 1651.

I am a ROWTON researcher. Our name is also mispelled ROUTON and possibly ROWDON? You have a great site. It wonderful that you are helping link so many people. Keep up the good work. If any one has come across anything on ROWTON in their ROWDON searches, I'd sure like to hear about it, since the 2 names are so close in spelling.

I am Garys cousin and my father and I love your site. My father has been tracing his family for years but back then he had to research through the library.Some of the pitcures you see on Garys site were pitcures my father contributed. We are very lucky that we have someone in our family that wants and is able to preserve our heritage. We love him dearly. Ann Bailey Rowden
Curtis E. Roughton   23/03/1998 15:39 Rowlett Dallas, Texas USA

Hey I just found your site. My mother's maiden name was Rowden so I am interested in your information on the Rowden name. The lastest so far that we have traced the name of kin folks is back to Isaac Curry Rowden born in Tennessee in 1817. So I wonder if you had any traces up to his name? If you do please e-mail me. Thanks Jim

Just beginning to geneology research - can trace back to paternal great grand-father, William Benjamin Rowden, born in Terre Haute, IL; died and buried in Searcy, AR I have some good help in learning the 'how to' and 'where to' but am basically a novice. I hope we are related somehow. I am a retired criminal investigator (Houston Arson Bureau) and am now serving in my 10th year as a Substance Control Rep. with the Houston ISD Police Dept.
Mark Allen Rowden   12/11/1997 10:35 Stockbridge Georgia USA
Gavin, I had no idea the Rowden name was so common. It is certainly not here in the U.S. I'm fascinated by this discovery and would love to find out more.

Very good page. I am looking for any information on a John Rowden b. circa 1700. He brought his family to the states around 1738. He was a captian of a ship and was lost at sea. He had a son named John also and married Sarah Echols. I am trying to find both desendents in the states and ancestors farther back in England. If you have any information which may assist I would appreciate hearing back. Thanks Clif Rowden
Robert Martin Rowden   29/10/1997 11:38 San Rafael California USA
Congratulations to Gavin on a most appropriate web site. According to the information available to me, my branch of the family arrived in Virginia during the last decade of the 18th century, then migrated westward. My immediate ancestors are from southern Illinois and there are about 250 Rowden families in Southern Illinois and Missouri, connected to this branch.

Brenda Rowden Morgan   15/10/1997 22:06 Temecula Riverside/CA USA
Hello, Just happened across your page. I am not a true Rowden, my grandfather changed the spelling from Roudon sometime during the depression. Although during my research, I have seen it spelled at least six different ways (Rowdon included), which makes it very difficult. Some say they came from England, others from France. Have not been able to determine that yet. Will bookmark you for future reference. Brenda Morgan
