General Notes: Husband - William Rowland

---

He was a boy when he accompanied his parents to Mahoning Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, where the family home remained for some years. He was there reared to maturity and later moved to Pulaski Township, where he engaged in farming. About 1857, he moved to another farm in the same township, near New Bedford, which then became known as the Rowland home place. He was an important figure in the early affairs of that community. He was a Republican in politics, during his later days, and served at different times as school director, overseer of the poor, and as road supervisor.

Prior to the Civil War he was very active as an Abolitionist. His father also was an Abolitionist, and worked with the promoters of what was known as the Underground Railroad.
