Dear Steve,
It does seem that there would be a connection, but I really don't know how.
Ithamer couldn't have moved to Indiana until after 1830 (this date is certain,
although I'm not certain Ithamer went there, All I know is that his son Amos went
there, but I don't know when) Info on Amos's descent from DAR appl. of Dorothy H.
Rowley, National #427334. I have nfr on any siblings of Amos, but Levi would NOT seem to
have been among them, as you give his birth as 1816 in Indiana.
Possibly Levi could have been a son of one of Ithamer's brothers, but I don't
know that either. Are you certain Levi was born in Indiana? Could he possibly have been
born in New York?
There are a couple of sites you can try - just type into your browser, and should come
up with your first hits:
Delaware Co. NY History & Genealogy (this is a genwebsite - and an excellent one. Has
records of other counties in area too)
Ted Rowley's website (this is BIG - but only goes so far down)
Otsego Co. NY Genweb and Schoharie Co. Genweb - both are excellent sites too.
Wish I could give you a BINGO! but I'll keep my eye out for you. Would love to be
able to fill in more Rowley info. Please let me know if you find anything too. Good Luck!
Deborah
