  • Notes 
    • Tentative son of William. Naming pattern of children suggests such a
      connection, but he could also be the son of Thomas. Salome Martin stated
      John, Henry and Mark were brothers.

      It should be noted that Rev. Reg Rowsell did not list John as a son of William in his extensive research of this family.

      Arthur Rowsell's diary mentions John Rowsell's 80th birthday on August 31, 1903. If this is his uncle, he did not call him such. This seems to be the proof that this John Rowsell was not Mark's brother.
