Notes

  • Edward was born sometime before 1 February, 1915.  He is reported as 5 years old as of that census date in 1920.  Thus he was born sometime after 1 February 1914.  This helps us date his father's death between 1 February 1914 and 1 February 1920.

    Rowland line from McSwain

    When I sent you info on these people, I did not have the date of death.  Just came from the cemetery and am sending these dates of death:

    Maggie McSwain Rowland Porter....1952 (no month or day on tombstone) [She later determined this is wrong.  From records, the actual date is 17 Nov 1951]
    Myrtle Rowland Allsup....2/25/1972
    Sarah Elizabeth (Lizzie) Rowland Jones...9/22/1975
    Edward Rowland....8/15/1970

    They are all buried at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Ethel, Arkansas.
