"Isaac and Fredereick Rowe, twins, accompanied by their mother Philippa (Perry) Rowe, came to Humphreysville with Gen. David Humphreys in 1811, and entered into his employ where they remained until the death of the genereal, in 1814, after which Isaac went south in the interest of a drug firm of New York, which business he followed for a year or two when he returned to Humphreysville and entered into partnership with his brother Frederick and commenced the manufacturing of cloth at Quaker Farms. Isaac, later sold his interest in the mill to his brother Frederick, and went west for the purpose of locating, and after selecting a place he started to return for his family. (The place selected was situated near where the city of Detroit no stands.) While crossing Lake St. Clair the vessel in which he had embarked was wrecked and he was drowned Dec. 15, 1830. In the spring his body was found by some fishermen and buried on the Canadian side of the lake."
