Alexander or Ellicksander Rowand reportedly born in or near Paisley, Scotland in 1654 and landed in New Jersey in 1675. These dates may not be correct as his wife's parents weren't married until 1692/3 which would make him nearly old enough to be her Grandfather. Quaker records records his name as Ellicksander while some other records spell it Alexander. Has anyone ever heard of the spelling "Ellicksander". I have never seen that spelling anywhere else. Am in contact with 3 other Rowand families that do not descend from my 5th Gr.Grandfather but do trace their ancestry back to Paisley. Would appreciate contact with any other Rowand descendants. Thank you.
