Henry Rowswell (1658 - 1719)

St. Michael's Church, Shepton Beauchamp

Henry Rowswell was born on April 7, 1658, in Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset.

He was the son of Henry Rowswell (1603 - ) and Margerie Gould (1639 - ), both of Shepton Beauchamp.

Henry married Dorothy England (1665-), also of Shepton Beauchamp. They had 5 children:

Henry Rowswell (Jan 7 1687-1756)
John Rowswell (Oct 8 1689 - )
Edward Rowswell (Jan 1 1691 - Aug 12 1717)
William Rowswell (May 19 1694 - Aug 22 1738)
Elizabeth Rowswell (Aug 9 1697 - )

Henry died on November 18, 1719 in Shepton Beauchamp. Given their age disparity, it seems likely that he pre-deceased Dorothy by several years.
