      David,
      It was nice to get your phone call this morning. I will try to attach some of my data for the Swindell/Swindle family of White Co TN. I will also mail you a package with my grandson's ancestor charts and a number of family group sheets for his direct lines. This will give you an idea of my current progress and let you know the families that I am working on.

      I am going to list the children that I have identified as likely belonging to Benjamin Rowland (ca 1775-1857). This line up is from the census and marriage records of Warren Co TN:

      1. Lod Rowland (1804-1888) m. Mary Elizabeth Webb (1807-1862), both buried in Mt. Vernon Cem White Co TN. I assume that this is your line.
      2. James Rowland (ca 1805-1876) m. Permelia ? (ca 1807-1896), both died in Warren Co TN, burial location not identified.
      3. Unidentified Female b. ca 1809
      4. Unidentified Male b. ca 1811
      5. Malinda Rowland (1813-1900) m. James T. Clenny; buried Long Cemetery in Warren Co TN.
      6. Jud Rowland (1815-1888) m. Jossie Dean; moved to TX in 1851.
      7. Samuel Rowland (ca 1816- ? ) m. Susan ?
      8. Nancy Rowland (1817-1865) m. James Purser in 1838 in Warren Co TN. Buried in Concord Cemetery in Warren Co TN.
      9. Unidentified Female b. ca 1823.
      10. Unidentified Male b. ca 1826.
      11. Benjamin Rowland Jr. (ca 1828-1872) m. ca 1850 to Phila Ann Bright (ca 1835-aft 1880). Burial location unknown.

      Do you agree/disagree with this line-up of the children? Again, thanks for the phone call. I will get a package in the mail for your information.

      Dear Rowland Researchers,

      I very recently came across the data that we had all been seeking. That is a confirmation of all of the children of Benjmin Rowland (1775-1857) of Warren County TN.

      It was in a publication that I had not seen until a few days ago; "Tennessee Tidbits 1778-1914" which is a three volume set of abstracted records from across Tennessee.

      Volume III contained data from Warren County TN. I am attaching to this e-mail a copy of the Benjamin Rowland data which identifies his heirs. I still have some problem with some of the daughters, but this is still very good information.

      I hope to return to McMinnville, TN in the near future with a goal of getting copies of the original records at the court house.
