He married Mary Devonport around 1789 and came with her and his first son William sometime between 1790 and 1791 and settled on 200 acres in Sophiasburg, Prince Edward County." from "The Benjamn Rowe Papers" provided to me by John Stephens of Brighton, June 20, 2014.; Principal=Mary Davenport1,2,3
  • Death*: 1844; Sophiasburgh Twp., Prince Edward Co., Ontario; "The pioneer, Benjamin Rowe, died in 1844, in his eightieth year." per "Benjamin Rowe" in ancestry.com.2,3
  • Note: circa 1791; Sophiasburgh Twp., Prince Edward Co., Ontario; "The Benjamin Rowe Family - Benjamin Rowe, the pioneer of the Rowe family in in Prince Edward County, was born in Dutchess County, N.Y., about 1764. The question of his lineage cannot be determined, nor does it appear that he figured in the revolution, but that he favored British connection for the American colonies is evident from the fact that he trod hard on the heels of the Adolphustown party in his migration to Canada, and on his arrival in Prince Edward County was permitted to select two hundred acres on the Bay Shore of the township of Sophiasburgh. Previous to leaving Dutchess County he married Mary Davenport, and William, his first born child, was some two or three years old when he arrived in Canada. He knew all the difficulties and hardships of the earliest settlers, but was not intimidated thereby. He began his labors, in which, as the years came and went, he was joined by his three sons, until honest toil turned out a good investement. He died in 1844, in his eightieth year. None of his children are alive to-day; and of his grandchildren, perhaps six or severn remain. Jay Rowe, a son of James, and one of the grandsons of the Pioneer, lives on the old homestead, now much improved, and yielding returns at once satsifactory and considerable. He is a Liberal in politics. Royal Rowe, a brother of Jay, also lives in Sophiasburgh. There is a considerable number of great-grandchildren, many of whom are married, living in different parts of the country." from pg. 685-686 of "Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte".
    Note: We see from this redition of Benjmain Rowe's history, his oldest son, William, is said to have been born in the US before they came to Upper Canada. Some records show him born in Upper Canada. Birth date is shown as 1792 and there is evidence of Benjamin Rowe in Sophiasburgh in 1791. Looking for more specific documentation for this point.4
