!NOTES:I don't know for certain that William Rowan is George's child, but it seems very likely. He was born in Yancey Co., NC (and George was the only Rowan in that area as far as I know), and he later went to Graham (then Cherokee) Co., NC where other members of the Rowan and Davis family went also.;

!NOTES:Catherine's maiden name is Brown per her 1845 marriage record. Widow Catherine Welch (1780) is with her in 1860. I believe Catherine Welch is her grandmother. Thomas Brown married Elizabeth Welch in 1822 and those are probably Catherine Brown's parents, though I don't have direct proof of that yet, but if not them, some other daughter of Catherine Welch is her mother.;
