DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Thomas by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Thomas:
The fact that 'Green' appears on the headstone of Elizabeth (Green) Rowland 1809-1857, does NOT make it obvious that Ann Elizabeth (maiden name in question) Rowland 1795-1869 did not have a maiden name of Green.
It is not clear whether or not you are making an argument that Lewis is not the middle name of Thomas Rowland 1787-1868.
Do you have any sources for the maiden name of Ann Elizabeth being Kendall?
**see that you are a member of the Rowland one name study. I sent you a personal letter as everything seems to come down to the answer to these two questions.
1)Then who (which Mr. Rowland) did Elizabeth KENDALL marry and in 1828 was living in Carroll County, Tennessee???? Has the one name study come up with a possibility????
2) Did TWO DIFFERENT Thomas Rowlands marry TWO DIFFERENT Elizabeth Greens?
Note: The Greens, Kendalls and probably Rowlands all came from Montgomery County, North Carolina to Carroll County, Tennessee. Did they know each other there?
Yes the deed that Bethany (Calloway) Kendall made in 1828 listed all her children and listed her daughter, ELIZABETH KENDALL as living in Carrroll County Tennessee and used the name Elizabeth ROWLAND.
1828 -From Henry County Tennessee Deeds Vol. 3 by Laura Willis, page 92 and 93 Deed Book C, Page 13
Deed from Bethany Kendall to children I, Bethany Kendall, of Henry county, for and in consideration of the love and good will and affection which I have for my loving children, namely, Nancy Palmer, Sarah High, Neddy Elams Kendall, Bethany Moody, William Barnett Kendall, and Lurany Kendall, all of Henry county, and Elizabeth Rowland of Carroll county, and John B. Kendall and Lucy Parker of Montgomery county, North Carolina, have given to them, all my legacy that will be coming to me in North Carolina of my fathers's estate, at my mother's death, to be equally divided among my children. Witness my hand and seal this 3rd day of March 1828. Test: John Davidson William Palmer Henry (X) Moody Bethany Kendall Deed was proven in open court at the March term of 1828, and registered on the 7th day of November, 1828. James Hicks, Clerk

Any theory as to why they would name their first son Green?
