John Frederick Rowbotham (1859-1926?)
My grandfather wrote a number of books, including a 'History of Music'. Details can be found in the Library of Congress Records, which can be accessed online. Surprisingly, some of his books are still in many University Libraries in the UK and the US (such as Harvard, and even Arizona!). I am sure that there are family connections with other names posted here, but I haven't as yet followed that up.
