Silas Round W M 49 Blacksmith Indiana Maryland Maryland
L D Round W F 46 Wife House Keeper Indiana New York Maryland
W S Round W F 22 Son Rafting Illinois Indiana Indiana
Ina Mabel Adams W F 7 Granddaughter Kansas Arkansas Illinois

The Dixon B. Smith Family History on Ancestry Woirld Tree reports this Illinois birth place for Bert.
ID: I18120
Wilbert S Rownd
Birth ABT 1858 in Illinois
Father Silas Rownd b ABT 1832
Mother: Louisa D. (Unknown) b ABT 1834 in Indiana
In 1900 the family name is registered as Rowen.
1900 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 15 June, Prairie Township, page 144, Hse #181, Fam #183
Rowen, Bert Head W M Feb 1858 42 Married 13 years Illinois Indiana Indiana Blacksmith
Rowen, Francie Wife W F Nov 1870 29 Married 13 years 5 children/4 living AR AL AL
Rowen, Frank Son W M Dec 1888 11
Rowen, Winona Dau W F Feb 1890 10 AR IL AR
Rowen, Earl Son W M Jan 1892 8
Rowen, Orval Son W M Mar 1899 1
Rowen, Loula I Mother W F Jan 1834 66 Widow IN NY Maine
The final entry, Loula I, listed as mother, matches Louisa D, Bert's mother. The date of birth of January 1834 matches other sources putting her birth in 1834. It is a puzzle why the enumerator understood her name as Loula, and the middle initial as I instead of D, which we have from family sources.
Nona's family are living next door to Maggie E McSwain, a older sister of her husband Bennie D McSwain. daughter of Phillip K McSwain, and her husband Banjamin F Rowland. Two doors on the other side of Ben and Maggie are tow houses of Padgetts who also came form North Carolina, so would be cousins of some sort. The Padgetts and McSwains were kin in different ways in North Carolina and some moved to Arkansas together.
Nona's brother Orval married a McSwain also, Iona, a niece of Maggie and Bennie, daughter of Joseph Edward McSwain, a brother of Maggie and Bennie.
