BMDB data

Joseph Rowe was born cir. Jan 1749 Bere Ferrers, Par. of Bere Ferrers, DEV, ENG

.² He was christened on 30 Jan 1748/49 Bere Ferrers, Par. of Bere Ferrers, DEV

; entry shows Joseph as son of "Joseph Row & Hannah his wife" (under 1748 OS, so 1749 ns.)^3,2
Joseph Rowe married Elizabeth Cross on 14 Jul 1769 Buckland Monachorum, DEV, ENG

, entry #60 reads: Banns of marriage between: Joseph Rowe and Elizabeth Coss (it really doesn't look like Cross) were published on ye eleventh eighteenth and twenty fifth days of Jun in ye year 1769 and [something I couldn't decipher]. Both were "of this Parish" married in the church by banns 14th day of July by me Vicar. X the mark of both, in presence of James Wood and Sampson Dote.^4,5,6
Joseph Rowe died cir. Oct 1811 ?Hele, Par. of Bickleigh, DEV, ENG; corroboration that this might be the correct Joseph Rowe death is the circumstantial evidence from the Conventionary Rentals 1811-1820 in the Roborough Estate papers which show Elizabeth Rowe as owing and paying rent on a tenement in Bickleigh from Sep 1811 thru 1820 (the only book checked so far.)^1,7 He was buried on 29 Oct 1811 Ch of St Andrews, Bere Ferrers, Par. of Bere Ferrers, DEV, ENG

, assumes correct id from the Bere Ferrers burial index, but is highly likely, albeit a tad later than the 29 Sep 1811 when Bickford's Tenement rental was in Elizabeth's name.^1,7 Others say that Joseph Rowe died in 1820 Hele Barton, Par. of Bickleigh, DEV, ENG

, but I have not found any confirmation of this.⁵

Cir. 1780 Joseph Rowe was living Looseleigh Farm, Tamerton Foliot, DEV, ENG, which he rented. The 1851 census shows this as being at Plympton St Mary, Tamerton Foliott, with a Alford family in residence, farm being 128 acres and Payne family in Looseleigh House.^5,8
