I am the descendant of James Rowe. My family is from St. Elizabeth, Jamaica. I found a great deal of information on Mr. James Rowe, William Rowe and a few other Rowe's. My James Rowe came from a place called Great Torrington. When I googled the name it showed that it is in Devon, UK. That's when I realized that a lot of people in this forum are looking for the same Rowe's that I was. I have a lot more info. The Rowe family moved to Jamaica. They were lawyers and some were Judges. They owned plantations and a numerous amount of slaves. Here is some of the info I found:
