George Rowland was born ca 1805/06 in Ashe Co, NC, a son of Joseph Rowland and Elizabeth Fouts. I'm not sure Mrs. Rowland was also a Fouts, but if so, that would probably make George and his wife Mary Fouts first cousins.

I was unable to locate George and Mary on the 1830 census. They did not appear to be in Ashe County or Macon County that year. I also could not find his parents in 1830.

By 1834 the Rowlands and Fouts and other Ashe County families moved to Macon County, North Carolina.

George Rowland was listed on the 1840 census just a few houses from his parents.
