THEIS names in ROWE family Bible
My purpose in posting is to share information found within our ROWE family Bible. It is a Civil War edition Bible and the names recorded within were entered by my husband's great grandmother, Mary Elizabeth (THEIS) WHITE, b. Jan. 5, 1867; d. Nov. 12, 1916. She married Frank A. WHITE, b. 1862; d. Feb. 7, 1926.
Amongst the children of Frank and Mary Elizabeth (THEIS) WHITE was my husband's grandmother, Dora Elizabeth (WHITE) ROWE,b. May 19, 1895; d. Aug. 24, 1979. Dora married Feb. 13, 1913 to Alfred W. ROWE, Sr., b. Feb. 23, 1895; d. May 8, 1953. One of Alfred, Sr. and Dora's children was my husband's father, Alfred W. ROWE, Jr., b. Feb. 14, 1919; d. Aug. 15, 1990. The ROWE family lived in the Pittsburgh, PA area.
The Bible notations indicate the mother of Mary Elizabeth (THEIS) WHITE (born Germany)to be Elizabeth (HEBMEN sp.???) THEIS, born 1835 Hanover, Germany; died 1910. Her husband is listed as George Frederick Carl THEIS, born Germany.
Hope this helps someone.
