Bill Lathrop standing behind his great-great-great
grandparents graves, Mary on left, Rowland on right.
His stone has RP carved into it.

1751 Rowland Powell son of Rowland & Mary (Richardson) Powell.  He married Mary Janes daughter of Jonathan & Irene (Bradford) Janes ca. 1773.  Mary was born in 1753.  They had eleven children, two of whom married Lathrop siblings.  They lived in Hartford, VT and moved to Richford, VT.  Rowland was a soldier in the American Revolution.  Mary died in Richford, VT in 1813 and Rowland died there in 1838.  They are buried in the Troy Street Cemetery in Richford, VT.  

While his tombstone indicates that he is Rowland Powell, Jr. He was in reality the fifth to carry the name Rowland Powell.  This is one of the easier family lines for me to remember!
