The children and grandchildren of Amy Miller and Robert Rowland

While not technically Todd descendants, I feel the Rowland children were very much a part of the family as they were all very young when Jacob married their mother. Also, there is scarcely any information on them anywhere, except a little bit on Ezekiel. I feel I owe it to my great-great-grandmother to remember her other children.

Amy Miller m. Robert Perry Rowland
Robert was the son of Needham Rowland and Louisa Carter. They had three children before Robert was killed in the Civil War.

Charlton County Herald extract, courtesy of Okefenokee Press.
July 25, 1924 MOTHER, MRS. LEWIS FLOYD AND DAUGHTER, MARY DIED. The mother, Mrs. Lewis Floyd, age 73 (sic), died at her home near Uptonville Wednesday of heart trouble after a lingering illness. The daughter, Miss Mary, aged 20 years, died just before noon on the operating table in Dr. Williams' office where she was brought for treatment of diphtheria. She had been ailing a week and the disease had secured too firm a foothold to yield to treatment. This sad double death removed all females of the family, leaving to mourn the loss of the mother and daughter, Mr. Floyd, and six sons. The Herald extends its deepest sympathy to the family in its great loss. The double funeral took place Thursday and interment was at the Sardis Cemetery.
