Obituary of The Reverend Theophilus Barton Rowe in the 'Bournemouth Visitors' Directory', dated 21st January 1904:
"He was educated at Woodhouse Grove School for the sons of Methodist ministers, near Leeds, in Yorkshire, then won a scholarship to the Cathedral School in Durham, before going to St John's College, Cambridge. He taught at Uppingham School for 15 years before being appointed Headmaster of Tonbridge School. He took Holy Orders in 1859. In 1861, he married Blanche Buckler. They had 4 children: John Hanbury Rowe, Dorothea Ellen Hanbury Rowe, Hilda Blanche Hanbury Rowe, and Benedicta Jeannette Hanbury Rowe.

According to Jennfier Southorn, even though the obituary above also described Theo Rowe's father as The Reverend Samuel Evans Rowe, that fact is incorrect. Samuel Rowe was his father and Samuel Evans Rowe his brother.3

Biography* Elizabeth, baptized at Ardingly 13 Dec 1584, married there 25 May 1611, to John Whitfield, Esq., of Mortlake, co. Surrey, son and heir of Thomas Whitfield, of Mortlake. She died 23 May, 1624. Their marriage settlement was as follows:
.
Sir Edward Culpeper covenants to pay £1200 as jointure at the Royal Exchange London. Also he will convey to Thomas Whitfield all those marsh lands called Hoe marsh in Sussex which he Sir Edward bought from William Jordan of the yearly value of £50. For seven years after the marriage Sir Edward Culpeper covenants that he will provide and allow unto the said John and Elizabeth and unto one manservant and one maidservant convenient and fit meat and drink and lodging with all necessary according to their several places and degrees, with the said Sir Edward Culpeper or his heirs.
.
Thomas Whitfield on his part doth covenant and grant with the said Sir Edward that he is seized of 100 acres of marsh in Olderton Inning in Brookland, co. Kent. Also of a messuage in All Saints Barking near Tower Hill, London. Also of a messuage and 3 score and ten acres in Staplehurst co. Kent. Also of the ancient manor house of Eastsheen in Mortlake and of the manors of East Sheen and Westhall and of 190 acres of land in Mortlake and of the capital messuage in Mortlake where the said Thomas now dwells. Also of 100 acres in Minster in the Isle of Sheppey.
.
He promises to hand over the marsh land in Brookland and the property in Staplehurst to their use until the marriage is completed. He further covenants that if his son John Whitfield before the feast of St Andrew the Apostle in 1616 shall fitly and worthily for his learning in the common Law of this Realm of England be called and admitted in Lincoln's Inn to be an outer barrister in which house the said John is now a student, that then the said Thomas Whitfield will suffer to discend and come unto the said John such estate in the manor of Whitfield in the county of Northumberland as he the said Thomas shall think fit to the value of £800. Also at his the said Thomas Whitfield's death John is to have furniture to the value of £200 by the Judgment of indifferent men. Mortlake is also to go to John at Thomas' death.

From Nina Powell: Elizabeth Culpepper is buried in the Rowfant Chapel of Worth church, where a plaque aparently describes her as wife of 'John of Rowfant' and lists her surviving children. This is also in the book'Wakehurst Place', listing them as John, Thomas, Robert, Elizabeth, Anne and Mary. As for John, the most intersting thing I have about him so far apart from dates of births etc is how he
died, which I got from the Sussex coroners inquests 1603-1688. He died after a carriage accident when he and his kids were going to church, and the horses went out of control. he told the children to jump out, and when he jumped out he fell awkwardly and died a few
days later.

Biography* Sir William Culpeper, Bart., baptized at Ardingly 4 Jul 1602, was educated at Eton, and afterwards in 1621 at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge; admitted of Lincoln's Inn, Nov 1623; B.A. from Balliol College, Oxford, 22 Jun 1625; married at Bolney 13 Jul 1626, Jane, daughter of Sir Benjamin Pellatt, at whose death the manor of Bolney came to Sir William Culpeper, according to the terms of the marriage settlement dated 10 Apr 1626 (2 Charles I). He was M.A. from Hart Hall, Oxford, 18 Mar 1633/4, and was buried at Ardingly 6 Dec 1678, as an ancient Bart. It is curious that all the Baronetages confuse him with Sir William Culpeper of Aylesford, Bart., who died in 1651, and to explain the difference in age between his death and that of his grandson and successor, Sir William Culpeper, the 2nd Baronet, they create two more Baronets in Sir Benjamin and Sir Edward, sons of Sir William, the 1st Baronet, to fill the vacancy. Neither Sir William Culpeper nor Lady Jane, his wife, appear to have left any will. (Source: "The Sussex Colepepers-II.")
