  • Notes 
    • Uriah had a granddaughter, Lillian, Born 1920. She may have been his only grandchild. Not clear.

      Quoted from letter written by William A Rowsell of Rattling Brook: My great uncle Uriah helped to build the first race boats used on Quidi Vidi Lake, St. John's. His son, Sidney, who worked at Ayre & Sons died about four years ago. His (Uriah's) grand daughter lives at St. John's now.

      He may have been married to Elizabeth Locke, who died young and childless, before he married Sarah Anne Barnes. -- Lloyd Rowsell
