Henry Rowley migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1620-1640).
Disputed Origins
There is no current proof that he was the son of Peter Rowley and Mary Barett. Until there is, they have been detached as his parents.
The most recent research names him HENRY (not John), and points out that his origins (including parents) are unknown.[1] Unsourced family trees (including LDS IGI) are insufficient evidence.
Biography
Henry was born about 1604 (based on estimated first marriage date) in England. Origins unknown.
He emigrated to Massachusetts in 1632, settling initially in Scituate, then settling in Barnstable by 1640.
It is possible that he was one of the company that came over from Leyden to Plymouth in 1630. It has also been conjectured that he came with Mr. Hatherly in 1632. I [who?] have found nothing by which either conjecture can be verified. It is probable that he was married when he came over, and that his three children were born before that time. It has been declared that his first wife was Sarah, daughter of William Palmer, Senior, of Duxbury. The latter came over in the Fortune in 1621, and his wife Frances came in the Anne in 1623.[citation needed]
Henry Rowley was an early planter at Plymouth, Mass., where he was taxed in 1632.
He was part of John Lothrops church.[2]
"Goodman Rowly and his wife" were founding members of the Scituate church, 8 January 1634/5[3]
In the list of 7 March 1636/7 Records of the Colony of New Plymouth in [4]
In the 1639 list of freemen, Henry Rowley appears under Scituate (lined out) and under Barnstable. [5]
He served as Barnstable constable, 2 March 1640/1, 1 June 1641.[6]He served as Deputy for Barnstable to General Court, 29 August 1643.[7]
He held many other positions.
In his will, dated 1637, William Palmer names " Moyses Rowley (son of Henry1), whom I love," and provides for his bringing up, but does not state what relation Moses was to himself. Henry Rowley m. (2) Oct. 17, 1633, Anne, widow of Dea. Thomas Blossom, who embarked in the Speedwell at Leyden in 1620, but being obliged to return to Leyden, came over to Plymouth in 1629, where he d. previous to March 1632-3. Henry and Anne Rowley removed to Scituate in 1634, the year he was elected freeman. Both were members of Rev. John Lothrop's church on Jan. 8, 1634-5, and removed with him to Barnstable in 1638. He was a deputy from Barnstable to the General Court of Plymouth at least once.
Thomas and Peter Blossom came to Barnstable with their mother, Mrs. Rowley, and were probably members of the family of their father-in-law. In 1650 Henry Rowley removed, with his son-in-law, Peter Blossom, to West Barnstable, and later to Fal- mouth. Henry Rowley d. in 1673. Inventory of the estate of " Henery Rowley of Saconessett," exhibited in Court, July, 1673, on oath of Moses Rowley. "Item: a debt of twenty-nine pounds due from Jonathan Hatch upon the repurchase of a parsell of land which the said Hatch sold to said Henery Rowley with that limitation provided." [8]

"_____ Rowly" was assessed 9s. in the Plymouth tax list of 25 March 1633, and 18s. in the list of 27 March 1634 [15]
"Goodman Rowlye" had built a house by the time of Rev. John Lothrop's arrival in Scituate in September 1634; he later acquired a house built by Henry Cobb, and built a second house on his own lot [16]
On 1 January 1637/8 Henry Rowley was one of the freemen of Scituate who complained that their proportions of land were too small to subsist upon and with the others received upland, neck, and meadow between the North & South Rivers [17]
He was an original grantee of Seppekann, 22 January 1638/9 [18]
Estate
The inventory of the estate of "Henery Rowley of Saconeesett deceased" was exhibited at Plymouth court in July 1673, on the oath of Moses Rowley, and consisted of a debt of £29 due from Jonathan Hatch "upon the repurchase of a parcel of land which the said Hatch sold to the said Henery Rowley with that limitation provided."[19][20]
Family
He married first by 1630 (in England) probably Sarah, daughter of William Palmer.[21] She died by October 1633.
NOTE: Anderson does not name her Sarah, but Unknown, although he does concur that she was probably an unnamed daughter of William Palmer.
He married second Ann Elsdon (widow of Thomas Blossom) 17 Oct 1633 in Plymouth, Massachusetts.[22]
All by first wife:
SARAH, b. say 1630; m. Barnstable 11 April 1646 Jonathan Hatch.[23]
MOSES, b. say 1632; m. Barnstable 22 April 1652 Elizabeth Fuller.[24] daughter of Matthew Fuller.[25]
Was there a third child Joseph?
"In 1906 Homer W. Brainard published a lengthy account of Henry Rowley and his descendants.[26] More recently, Paul Prindle prepared a briefer study of the immigrant and a line of descent through his son Moses [ 392-404]. Both of these authors include a third child for Henry, a son Joseph "living at Barnstable, 1655," and "said to have gone to Barbados", but neither provides documentation for this statement. Perhaps a record for Moses has been misread as for a Joseph who did not exist.[27]

Previously Cuthbert Elsden-7 was assigned as father and Margaret Elseden mother. He died in 1582 and Anne Elsdon-1 was born June 15, 1583. Others claim her parents were John William Heilson and Margaret Elseden. However, they were too young to be her parents: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:STQ9-Y1H So there is confusion on who her parents are.
Disputed Vitals
Did she die in 1637, 1671 or 1691? Many profiles say 1691, but she would have been over 100!
Biography
Ann Heilson was baptized 23 Jun 1583 in Soham, Cambridgeshire, England.
She married first at St. Clements, Cambridge, England on 10 Nov 1605 to Thomas Blossom; probably the son of Peter and Annabel (_____) Blossom of Great Shelford, Cambridgeshire.Their children were:[1]
a child who was buried at Pieterskerke, Leiden on April 12, 1617
s son who by 1620 accompanied his father on the Speedwell, returned to Leiden where he died by December 15, 1625.
Elizabeth, born about 1620 and married Edward FitzRandolf at Scituate on May 10, 1637. Married (2nd) to Capt. John Pike at Piscataway, New Jersey.
Thomas, born about 1623 and married Sarah Ewer at Barnstable on June 18, 1645.
Peter, born after 1627 and married Sarah Bodfish at Barnstable on June 21, 1663.
Anderson in "Great Migration Begins" makes the case that Blossom (and family, including Anne) first set out on the Speedwell with the Mayflower but was part of the group who had to be left behind and that they came over later in 1629.[1]Stratton in "Plymouth Colony..." says, Thomas Blossom, Sr., Ann Blossom, son Thomas Blossom, Jr., and daughter Elizabeth Blossom sailed from the United Provinces of the Netherlands to Plymouth Colony probably on the second ship to be called the "Mayflower."[2] [3]
Ann's husband, Thomas Blossom, died in Plymouth before March 25, 1633 when Ann is called "Widow Blossom" and was listed on the Plymouth Colony tax toll being required to pay 9 shillings in taxes. [2], citing pages 427 - 428.[4][1]
Ann married (2nd) to Henry Rowley (his 1st wife died by 1633[5])at Plymouth on October 17, 1633[1]as "Anna, the late wife of Tho: Blossome."[5][2], citing pages 246 & 346.[6]
Henry and Anne Rowley removed to Scituate in 1634, the year he was elected freeman. Both were members of Rev. John Lothrop's church on January 8, 1634/35. [7]
In 1639 Ann Blossom Rowley, Henry Rowley, Thomas Blossom Jr., and Peter Blossom moved from Scituate, Plymouth Colony to Barnstable, Plymouth Colony. [8] In 1650 Henry Rowley and his wife removed, with her son Peter Blossom, to West Barnstable.[7]
Ann died in 1671 or 1691 in Plymouth, Plymouth, Mass.[citation needed]

.Kenneth Kinman(1) There is no evidence that Cuthbert Elsden died in 1582. Note that his profile says he died "after 1582", probably because his youngest child Ann was born in 1583. Cuthbert's daughter Ann is a definite candidate to be the Ann who married Thomas Blossom in 1605, because she is the right age and also because her birthplace (Soham) is only about 10 miles from Cambridge (where the 1605 marriage took place). Of course, that could be a coincidence, so it certainly doesn't prove Cuthbert's daughter Ann was the one who married in 1605.
(2) The only other clue we have is the 1597 will of Christopher Helsdone who was buried in January 1597/98 at St. Clements (which is where Ann was married in 1605). Christopher is almost certainly related to her, but why Coddington thinks Christopher was her grandfather is not clear to me. Christopher is often shown as a brother to Cuthbert, so he could be an uncle to Cuthbert's daughter Ann. I merely adopted the profile of Christopher Elsden, so not sure what the birth year (about 1552) is based on: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Elsden-10 More information on Christopher Helsdone/Elsden is needed. Also, information on Cuthbert's older children might be helpful.
posted Sep 08, 2020 by Kenneth Kinman Cheryl (Aldrich) SkordahlThere is a DBE on this profile regarding father/child. Cuthbert Elsden-7 d in 1582. Anne Elsdon-1 was born June 15, 1583.
According to opening paragraph of the biography, there seems to be confusion on parentage. I recommend detaching parents, leaving notes of the 3 profiles. Other ideas? comments?
posted Sep 07, 2020 by Cheryl (Aldrich) Skordahl Darryl SaylorI removed her parentage until this can eventually be sorted out and figure out all of her correct information. Thanks for the message.

Born by about 1605 based on estimated date of marriage. Came to Plymouth Colony in 1632. Resettled first in Scituate & finally in Barnstable. Died between 29 May 1670 [ PCR 5:277] and July 1673 (presentation of inventory).
Married: (1) By about 1630 _____ _____, probably daughter of WILLIAM PALMER of Plymouth, but see COMMENTS below]; she died by 1633.
COMMENTS: Florence Barclay, in her article on WILLIAM PALMER of Plymouth, supplied the evidence in favor of the position that the mother of Moses Rowley was a daughter of William Palmer; she thought that Sarah Rowley who married Jonathan Hatch was a daughter of Henry Rowley, but not necessarily with the Palmer wife (which would imply yet another wife before the presumed _____ Palmer). There are many unresolved problems with this identification. Moses Rowley, who was certainly a son of Henry, married in 1652, which should place his birth no later than 1632, and probably somewhat earlier. Was Moses Rowley born in England or at Plymouth? If he was born at Plymouth, then Henry Rowley must have arrived before 1632, the earliest date which we may assume from surviving records. Since Rowley was not in Plymouth in 1627, he could have come in 1629 or 1630 when additions were made to the Plymouth population; but if this were the case he would have had to marry William Palmer's daughter immediately after getting off the boat, and even this just barely leaves enough time for Moses to be born by 1630, say, and it makes it almost impossible for Sarah Rowley also to have been born in Plymouth as a child of the Palmer wife. On the other hand, Rowley may have married _____ Palmer in England, in which case both Moses and Sarah could be children of this wife, born in England. The terms of William Palmer's will make it clear that he had at least two other children who are never seen in New England, Henry and Bridget. There are other possibilities.
