ROWLEY.
The surname Rowley is of ancient English origin, derived from some place name at the time of adoption of surnames in England. Many of the family in England as well as America have been distinguished in various walks of life. There are several coats-of-arms borne by Rowley families in the old country. Most of the American colonial families of this name are descended from Henry Rowley, mentioned below.
(I) Henry Rowley, immigrant ancestor, was born in England, and died in Barnstable or Falmouth, Massachusetts, in 1673. He was one of the early planters of Plymouth and was a taxpayer as early as 1630. He was admitted a freeman in 1634, after removing to Scituate, where he and his wife Anne joined the church, January 8, 1634. In 1638 he removed with Rev.

Moses is mentioned in the will of William Palmer as legatee, as "Moses whom I love." The grandfather, Palmer, gives evidence of some unfriendliness towards the father and wishes young Rowley placed with Mr. Partridge, that "he might be brought up in the feare of God & to that end if his father suffer it, I give Mr. Partridge five pounds." Apparently Moses lived with his grandfather, and March 7, 1653-54, the court allowed him a cow from Palmer's estate.
