Notes for WILLIAM ROWLAND: The following information was obtained from Jack Lloyd Wallace during an interview October 31,1997 at his home in Bayview, below Bath: " William Rowland was given a land grant of about 50,000 acres on Rowland Creek, which is north of Bath about five miles, and he came with his son, John, and his wife to farm the land and clear it, most of it was wood land and they built a house there and in the process, he brought the William Wallace family, including their daughter Nancy, to help keep his house. So Nancy came to clean the house, and keep it---and John Rowland got involved with her-- and children started to show--four boys and three girls, --and when William Rowland died, the farm went to John Rowland,-- and the William Rowland family would not let John marry Nancy. John tried to marry Nancy, but she wouldn't marry him, and he was an alcoholic, and he would sell ten acres of land, stay drunk for a month, until he finally lost practically all of the land, with the exception of a little farm, and a farm that he gave to the Wallace boys and girls, and he also built a home for Nancy Wallace, and that's how they grew up---but they never married, and he died and the land went to the family of... daddy....Thad Wallace, Will Wallace, Joiner Wallace, Mame Wallace, I can't name them all...The children of Nancy Wallace, and my daddy Will Wallace married my mother , Delia Woolard".
