        Ruth Davidson, daughter of Minnie Rowan and Daniel Davidson, was born 29 March 1892 in Daviess Co, KY (she was age 8 in 1900, 18 in 1910, and 26 in 1920). Ruth married Clarence Willingham about 1913 and they lived at Owensboro. She worked in a tobacco drying plant in 1920. Ruth died of spinal meningitis on 13 June 1920, just west of Owensboro, and was buried in Pettit Cemetery. Clarence was born 15 July 1889 in KY, son of Silas Willingham and Minnie Winstead (see note following). After Ruth died, Clarence and his children lived with his parents at Owensboro. He and Ruth had three children, all born near Owensboro, KY-
1.     Daniel C. Willingham, b Jun 1914, was named after his maternal grandfather.

3.     Carl L. Willingham, b 12 Jul 1917, grew up in Daviess Co and died at Indianapolis, IN on 1 January 1997. 
Silas Willingham was born in 1865 in KY and died 6 Nov 1930 at Owensboro. He was a son of Frank Willingham and Sarah Cheatham, and was buried at Sorgho just west of Owensboro. Minnie was the middle of five children of Rachael Winstead and probably Thurman Burks, and was born 27 Oct 1862 at Vanover, Daviess Co, and died at Owensboro on 8 Jun 1951. In 1880 Minnie and her youngest sister Lucy and their mother Rachael Winstead lived at Oakford, Daviess Co. In 1870 Minnie and her four siblings lived with their mother at Vanover, but with no father in their home. The children were Rosa, Joseph, Minnie, John, and Lucinda Winstead; Lucinda was age 2, so Rachael’s husband must have died between 1867 and 1870. Minnie’s brother Joseph’s death record (3 Feb 1865 - 4 Feb 1917) stated that his parents were Thurman Burks and Rachael Winstead. A search of Ohio, McLean, and Daviess Counties of 1860 showed the only Burks families in those three counties were in Ohio Co, and none had a Thurman Burks. So apparently Thurman Burks was a Black slave in 1860 (and not named in the census records), and had died soon before 1870. Rachael then reverted to her maiden name. Rachael’s children all used the Winstead family name. Silas Willingham and Minnie were both buried at Sorgho.

        Alice Rowan Douglass, daughter of John Douglass Jr and Sarah Hudson, was born 25 October 1849 in Ohio Co or in McLean Co, KY. She married Dr William F Gillim in McLean Co on 4 March 1875. In 1910 they lived at Owensboro. He was born in KY in 1847. Alice died at Owensboro, Daviess Co, on 14 February 1917 and William moved in with their daughter Elizabeth who was living at Evanston, Cook Co, IL. Alice was buried in Elmwood Cemetery two days later. Alice’s son-in-law Harry Campbell Bean, husband of daughter Elizabeth, supplied the personal information for Alice’s death certificate. She and William had two children still at home in 1910, but had a total of seven with six still alive in 1900 and five alive in 1910-
a.     Mary E.  Gillim, b Feb 1878
b.     Sallie Gillim, b Feb 1880
c.     Abbie Gillim, b May 1881
d.     Parvian D. Gillim, b 14 Feb 1882
e.     Frances Gillim, b Aug 1886
f.     Elizabeth Newsome Gillim, b Apr 1887
g.     Alice D. Gillim, b Dec 1889
NOTE: Over the years this family name was spelled Gillim and Gilliam, but Alice’s death record and the 1920 census (the most accurate census up to then) used the Gillim spelling.

        John Douglass, Jr, son of Alice Rowan and John Douglass, was born 4 March 1812 at No Creek in Ohio Co. He married Amanda Bennett in Ohio Co on 14 November 1837, and married Sarah Hudson about 1843. Amanda was born about 1816 in Ohio Co, daughter of Samuel Bennett and Lucretia Barnett.

John Jr died on 18 June 1882; he is buried in Pleasant Hill Methodist Church Cemetery in McLean Co KY with Sarah. She was born 1 March 1807, and died 9 May 1886. Sarah was a daughter of Thomas Hudson of VA, and was the sister of Patsey Martha Hudson who married Charles S Simmons. Charles was a brother of America Simmons who married John Douglass Jr's first cousin Dr Alexander Rowan. Sarah was a widow of George French before her marriage with John. John had three children-

Rowan Descendants - Part One

The Descendants of
Andrew Rowan
of York County Pennsylvania

This book identifies many individuals from Ohio County, KY. This book was first written in 1981 by 

Eugene Atherton
Leonard Lytle
Michael A Spaulding
Joyce M Tice
Harry D Tinsley
Wanda F Wickliffe
John E Young
And Many Others


The original version of this book was primarily about the Kentucky descendants. John E. Young updated this book in 2008 & the revision was published by Janaway Publishing, Inc. (Second Edition, 2008) and used copies are available for purchase on the internet. This is a scholarly work and those family members that created this book did a wonderful job.

If you want to get a printed version, contact Janaway Genealogy Books. They also have this Rowan book on a CD in PDF format.

Apparently a member of the Rowan family first came to Ohio County in the early 1800's. Harry Rowan, born 1805, was a slave of Dr. Alexander Rowan.  Harry married Catherine and they had seven children. Many members of the descendants of this family stayed in Ohio County and some moved away.  The family has a Rowan Family Reunion annually that first started in 1896. The reunion for 2017 will be held in Louisville in August and will be the 122nd annual event.  This is a wonderful tradition and a truly amazing family. 

I do not have the entire book. I "word-searched" what I have by using the search term "Ohio" and found about 89 individuals that were born in (or otherwise had contact with) Ohio County.  I will list them in this post.  There are many other names in this post, such as spouses, so you might want to "word-search" this post with your family surnames.  This is a treasure trove of information for Ohio County genealogists and we owe many thanks to those that worked so hard to find and compile this information.  The following is in alphabetical order by surname:
