Wife of David Rowland.

A note re. the name of the spelling of Susanah's last name. Her name was actually spelled RoWland. The Roland family (as per family history personally related to me by my father and older uncles who knew both my grandfather Walter and Great Grandfather Andrew) is that all family members through Andrew's progeny were born with the "w." It was Walter Alexander who made the decision upon the advice of his banker to change the spelling. It was during the lifetime of Andrew's children that the last name wavers on documents between birth and death.
As per Susanah, one can refer to her husband, David Rowland and son, Andrew Rowland, to know that the correct spelling of her name was actually RoWland as well and her gravestone is merely an error.



Jacob's parents were were
Peter Lenn Eller
B.— Maryland, USA D. July 29, 1799 — Wilkes County, North Carolina, USA)
and
Elizabeth Dick Eller(B. 1749 — Frederick, Frederick County, Maryland, USA
D. before July 28, 1844 — Ashe County, North Carolina, USA)



Elizabeth Dick Eller's parents were
Conrad Dick B. 1725 — Switzerland
D. 1774 — Wilkes County, North Carolina, USA
Who married Anna Caterina Dick (maiden name unknown)
B 1727 — Frederick, Frederick County, Maryland, USA
D — ?
