Notes:
From Judy Smith in Evelyn Rhodes Mikula’s Rowe genealogy: “Joseph R. Row was born December 10, 1827 in Washington, Md. Sometime in 1849 he married Nancy Duffy. Joseph Row did not fight in the Civil War, but paid a substitute a bounty of $300.00 to go in his place. When again he was called for war duty, this time the bounty being $500.00, he left Maryland, moving his family to near Mount Morris, IL. Nancy died in 1870 leaving him with eight children. In 1871 Joseph remarried, this time to Lydia Slifer. In 1872, Joseph and family moved again to near Dallas Center, IA. There he farmed on a farm east of town and always drove a pair of mules. He died 8 July 1910.”
