David Rowland fought for the confederacy in the Civil War. He enlisted in Bart A. James' Co., 55th Tennessee Infantry [McCoins]. The 55th infantry was later consolidated with the 44th infantry and was called the 44th. After having fought at Kings Mountain and the battle of Murfreesboro, where he was wounded, and having attained the rank of Sargeant on April 1, 1863, David was listed as deserted on December 4, 1863. He had returned home and taken the Oath of Amnesty which the Federal government required. This information came from his Civil War records sent to me by Alan Alsup.

Sec #2.

**********
The children of David Rowland and Marina Sexton from all the above are:
(1) Mary Osena b. 2/15/1872- died as a child- named in family record, not in census or will
(2) Ida Josephine b. 7/4/1874- died as a child- named in family record only
(3) Cordelia b. 1876 by 1880 census, b. May 5, 1876 by family record
(4) Bismark b. 1878 by 1880 census, b. March 10, 1878 by family record and grave marker
(5) Hattie Doke b. Nov 1879 by 1900 census, b. Nov 17, 1879 by family record, b. 1879 by grave marker
(6) Cleo Patra b. Dec 22, 1881 by family record, not in census in her parents' house
(7) Delmah b. June 16, 1884 in family record, June 1885 in 1900 census, 1885 on grave marker
(8) Annie in the 1900 census is Dollie Rowland, b. Dec 1891 by 1900 census
According to the 1900 census of District 1, Alexandria, DeKalb Co., TN, page 111, Marina had 10 children in her lifetime. Two more have died as children. The Maud Rowland on the 1880 census of District 16, Dekalb Co., TN, page 243A is not the correct name of any child of David and Marina. The problem is that there is an impossibility in that Hattie Doak Rowland is consistently shown on several records to have been born November, 1879, and the 1880 census shows Maud born January 1880, just 2 months after Hattie Doak. Hattie Doak lived a long time after that and should have been in that 1880 census at age 6 months. Since Hattie Doak is stated to be a daughter by the 1900 census and by the will, and Maude is stated to be a daughter in the 1880 census, and also since Doak is missing from the 1880 census, then Maud is Hattie Doak. Hattie Doak Rowland never had the name Maud. The census is badly in error both on the name and the birth date.
