The following information is from Founders Day Jubilee 1875-1975 of
Falkville, Alabama:
The ROWE Family. At the end of the Rowe write-up, there is an entry "BUSH
RECORD OF THE ROWE FAMILY"."Herod Bush, brother of Rebecca, lived in Wetumpka. Also two sisters:
Martha who married a Wesson and Lizzie who married a Shultz. Jasper Bush,
brother, lived in Talladega Territory and married Sally Wallace. After the
war, Rebecca and three sons moved from Wetumpka to Talladega to live on a
farm with her brother Jasper and family".Ellis Rowe Morris also states, "Rebecca filed for a Civil War Widow's
Pension 5 times before it was finally approved about a year before she
died. Rebecca and sons moved to Falkville in 1900 from Harpersville,
Shelby Co., ALA, shortly after her sons John P. and Benjamin had moved
there. J. P. Rowe is my g-grandfather. Rebecca died shortly after
arriving in Falkville and is buried in the Falkville Cemetery with one of
J. P. Rowe's infant children".Elizabeth: From: Ray Isbell ([email protected]), 1998. 1880 Elmore Co.
