Isabella Rowswell (1510-1591)


St Michael's Church, Shepton Beauchamp

We understand that Isabella was born in 1510 in Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset, in the South Petherton hundred. Her unmarried name, and the identity of her parents, are unknown.

The identity of her husband (presumably a Rowswell) is also unknown.

She and her husband had at least 4 sons, all born in Shepton Beauchamp:

Johanes Rowswell
Christopher Rowswell (1538 - 1588)
Peter Rowswell (1540 - 1603)
Patrick Rowswell (1535 - 1609)

An entry of death places her death or burial at September 1, 1591 in Shepton Beauchamp.

Isabella is presently the earliest direct ancestor of this Rowsell family.



The above information is taken from undocumented secondary sources online, and has not yet been independently verified with reliable primary records.
