Biography

Jeremiah Rowe was born 27 Jun 1790 in Belmont, Belknap Co., New Hampshire ^[1] the son of Jacob Rowe and Phebe (Taylor) Rowe.

Jeremiah may have died before 1820 (when his grandfather wrote his will), or as late as 1856?

Research Notes

When his grandfather wrote his will in 1820, Jeremiah's father, Jacob, was already dead. While his grandfather's will makes bequests to Jeremiah's two sisters by name, Jeremiah is not mentioned. ^[2] Whether this is because he was also already dead, or had received his father's property previously is unknown.

There is a Jeremiah Rowe who died in Gilford on 1 Jun 1856 at the age of 66 (making his birth year 1790). ^[3]
