Researching Evans and Rowland ancestry.

1900 census of Jackson County Ohio includes:
William O Evans, 60, b Mar 1839, Wales, widowed, farmer,
dau, Mary Rowland, 30, b OH, widow, parents Wales/OH, mother of 1 child, 1 living,

son, David Evans, 28, b OH,
dau, Jane Evans, 26, b OH,
son, John Evans, 20, b OH.

Believe the Eleanor Rowland in 1900 census, could be daughter of Thomas Rowland and 2nd wife, Mary LNU.

Mary Evans, 1st wife of Thomas Rowland, died 1891, Jackson County. An infant Rowland died that same year. Two older sons, John and David Rowland, were born to Thomas and Mary Rowland in late 1880's.

Family inputs state that Thomas Rowland remarried and had a daughter, Eleanor, b ~1895.

Additional research indicates that Mary Evans(daughter of William O Evans) may have 2nd wife of Thomas Rowland(not 1st as in earlier posting).
Believe they had daughter, Eleanor Rowland, b ~1893.

Believe that Thomas Rowland, b ~1859/Wales, died in Jackson County 6 Jan 1895. Would like to find record(or obit).
First wife of Thomas Rowland, perhaps given name Mary, died Aug 1891 in Jackson County. Would like to find record(or obit). Believe and infant Rowland died the following day.

1910 census of Jackson County OH includes William O Evans, 71, b Wales, daughter, Mary E, 40, b OH, widow, neice, Eleanor, 15, b OH, parents b OH. Believe listing of Eleanor as niece was error, since other records show her as daughter of Mary Rowland.
