NANCY ELIZABETH ROWLAND (pdf page 162)

Born: 1835 (Boone Co.,Mo.)

Died:

Married: William J. Wade - 27 July 1854 (Boone Co., Mo.) Born: @ 1833 (Mo.)

William, a farmer, and his family resided in Boone County, Missouri, where they were highly respected. They were all members of the Cumberland Presbyterian

Church. I have found 4 of their children listed below, but, an article from the "Columbia Missouri Statesman" in 1878 states there were 7 children in the family.

Of interest...In 1878 William and his brother-in-law, George W. Rowland, had a severe confrontation at the church, which met at the Union Church in Bourbon

Township. They both met at the church (with other members) to see if the dispute between them could be amicably ended. The meeting resulted in William Wade shooting George Rowland in the back. The lead ball was never recovered from George's back, which caused him pain for the rest of his life. William disappeared. (See newspaper article at back of this family section for all the details).
