Hi! Alfedena,
Thank you for giving so much of your time to catalog the graves in the old cemeteries.
You are saving valiable information for us all.
I have Henry K. ROWE & his wife, Mary (PETERS) buried in Silver City.
Another lister has kindly photographed the graves for me.
Mary PETERS is one of my g. grandfather's sisters.
She was born about 1840 in Gwennap/Ponsanooth area of Cornwall.
Following Mary ROWE's death in June 1885 & Henry K. ROWE's death in Oct. 1886,
their 3 US born children ended up in Breage, Cornwall where they were raised by their
mother's sister, Eliz. PETERS. Mary's brother, Walter PETERS, was staying with
the family at the time of the 1880 census.
From the State Historic office I have copies of the obits.
Are
there any records for the Virginia Miners' Union or IOOF membership for that time
period that might shed more light on Henry K. ROWE's place of birth?
Thank you so very much for all you are doing,
Heather
