Author: Preston Armand Fortin

Jeremiah Rowe, Jr. was born January 1, 1743, in Brentwood, NH and died on March 20, 1829 in Gilford, Strafford County, NH.  He was the son of Jeremiah and Judith (Prescott) Rowe.  He was married to Sarah Hoyte from November 24, 1765 until her death in 1815.

Before serving in the Revolutionary War, Jeremiah, for some reason, refused to sign the Association Test of 1776.  However, on September 12, 1777 Jeremiah appeared on the muster roll of Regiment Militia commanded by Nicholas Gilman, Esq. as soldiers raided in the state of New Hampshire to reinforce the Northern Continental Army.  Jeremiah appeared again as a private on the payroll of Captain Porter Kimball’s Company in Colonel Stephen Evans Regiment which marched from the state of New Hampshire and joined the Norther Continental Army at Saratoga in September 1777.  Jeremiah served in the Norther Continental Army from September 9, 1777 to his discharge on December 15, 1777.  See new Hampshire State Papers, Rev Rolls, Col SV, page 291.

Jeremiah Rowe, Jr while living in Brentwood, HY held the following town offices:  Tithing man, lumber surveyor, highway surveyor and petit juror.  Sometime in 1794 Jeremiah and Sarah moved to Gilmanton, NH (now Gilford, NH), built a home on the 240 acres he purchased at the foot of Cotton Hill Road in 1776 and began farming and trading.

Jeremiah and Sarah Rowe had seven (7) children all born in Brentwood, NH.  1- Jacob Rowe (1766-1808) 2-Ezekiel (1768-1852) 3-Jeremiah III (1771-1854) 4-Samuel (1773-1858) 5-Richard (1776-1845) 6-Sarah (1778-1945) and 7-Joseph (1780-1820).

 


Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
