Father

Joseph Rowe (say 1700 - Apr 1757); link not proven, not found in Parish records, but the Bickleigh Rowe family do hail from Bere Ferrers, and this family is the most likely contender^2,3

Relationship

5th great-grandfather of Lorna Henderson

BMDB data

     Joseph Rowe was born bet. 1721 - 1725 ?Bere Ferrers, Par. of Bere Ferrers, DEV, ENG, dates being derived from marriage of assumed parents, and his own assumed marriage although neither his baptism nor marriage have yet been found.⁴
     Joseph Rowe married Hannah UnknownSurname ?Harris cir. 1744 ?Bere Ferrers, Par. of Bere Ferrers, DEV, not in Bere Ferrers, although at least 8 children were baptised there.^5,6
     Joseph Rowe died in May 1763 Bere Ferrers, Par. of Bere Ferrers, DEV, ENG

.¹ He was buried on 4 May 1763 Bere Ferrers, Par. of Bere Ferrers, DEV

, assumes correct id of burial, there are baptisms for two Josephs, (1695 to Thomas and Maria; and 1749 to Joseph and Hannah) and children being born to Joseph and Hannah 1749 to 1762, so it could be any of these. There's also a Joseph buried 8 Apr 1757, which obviously isn't this one, but I've assumed is his father.^7,4,8
