Biography
This profile is part of the Rowland Name Study.
Priscilla Shepherd (some references have last name spelled as Sheppard) was born about 1660 (estimated, needs citation) in England
She married John Rowland prior to 1682
She arrived in the US in October 1682 aboard the Welcome (sailing from Deal, England) with William Penn. She was accompanied by her husband John Rowland and his brother Thomas Rowland. [1]
From THE WELCOME CLAIMANTS, PROVED, DISPROVED AND DOUBTFUL , by the Welcome Soc.
- "Thomas Rowland was buried at Middletown, Bucks Co 17 3rd mo 1690; Priscilla Rowland died between 12 1stmo 1704-5 and 3 Dec 1715, and John Rowland died between 3 Dec 1715 and 3 March 1715-16 - all three died without children. (the above are John Rowland, Priscilla Shepherd Rowland, his wife, and Thomas Rowland, his brother.)
From Tepper's "New World Immigrants: A Consolidation of Ship Passenger Lists and Associated Data from Periodical Literature - Volume 1" [2]
- "It is clear that the three Rowlands of the Welcome died without any surviving issue, as did their possible kinsman Ralph Smith and his sister Susanna Pike."
Priscilla was born about 1630.
27 Oct 1682: Arrived at Delaware by the Welcome: John Rowland (61), wife Priscilla of Warminghurst (62), brother Thomas (63), farmers and members of the Shipley Meeting in Sussex. Registry of Arrivals Bucks Co.[3]

William Finley and "Gen." Samuel Finley served in Captain Sheppard's Co. 2nd NJ Batt. of Salem County; William was wounded at Hancock's Bridge, 21 March 1778. This is probably a descendent of the same Shepard as Priscilla, based on family associations. This record is located at: History of Gloucester and Salem Counties, New Jersey.
