!NOTES:I have no absolute proof that Elihu is a son of Thomas, but they were neighbors in two (perhaps three) counties, and Elihu was bondsman for the marriage of Thomas's proven child Elizabeth in 1836, end Elihu and Elizabeth were both born in Burke;

!NOTES:I don't know for certain that Mary is a child of Joseph Rowland, but it seems likely. Her 1880 census entry shows her father was born in "Ma" which could stand for Maryland which is where Joseph was born. Joseph does seem to be the only choice for her father;
