Rowland was born about 1771 in Hopkinton, King County, Rhode Island. He was the son of Lebbeus Sweet and Catherine Collins. Rowland is thought to have been married to a Peggy Barton, prior to his marriage to Margaret, however based on the census stating that Margaret was the mother of 13 children and the fact that she signed her name as "Peggy" on land record, evidence supports that Rowland had but one wife.
