WHISPERED
ROMANCE IN LEWES
CAESAR
RODNEY AND SARAH ROWLAND
Remember
that Sarah Rowland, daughter of the Lewestown postmaster, was
supposed to have made Caesar Rodney a bit late to the signing of the
Declaration of Independence.
In
September 1938 the family of Francis D. Brinton of Oermead Estates,
West Chester, Pennsylvania, in preparation of writing the genealogy
of Mrs. Brinton's family were seeking data of the Rowland, Parker and
Fisher families of Lewes.
Sarah
Rowland was the grandmother of of Mrs Brinton, but information on
this branch are missing and local historians of 1938 Lewes deny that
her ancestor blocked the path of the the patriots duty.
