During my research of the ROWLEY family, I discovered this information regarding Peter S. BONESTEEL that I wanted to share and see if I could obtain additional information/stories about Peter and Jireh ROWLEY.
Would you mind emailing me directly as well as adding info to this board? I am at annehamp@bellsouth.net.
1. History of Ontario Co., New York, 1788-1876, published by Everts, Ensign & Everts, Philadelphia, p. 201:
"Captain Jirah ROWLEY, son of Joseph ROWLEY, was an extensive canal contractor in district No. 7, and built the great embankment at Irondequoit. He served in the war of 1812, and was captain of a company that went from Victor. He moved upon the farm of Peter S. BONESTEEL, cleared up the fields, built a mill, and erected a hotel. He rented the premises to Philip Bonesteel, who later purchased the property, now the heritage of his son,Peter S. BONESTEEL."
