Bio:
William was the son of John Rowlett (1735-1799) and Edith E. Jackson (1746-1781). He married Mary Stringer in Chesterfield County on 6 February 1795. They had at least three children: Thomas, Susan and Sarah.
He is buried near Mary, Sarah and Susan in the plot he owned.
"The home and good works of Mr. and Mrs. Wmn. Rowlett are coeval with the century, and while I write this, his good works have just ceased, and he has gone to his reward, after attaining to nearly fourscore and ten years. He was the first to engage in the occupation of ship-broker in Richmond, and pursued it for more than half a century; but his charitable offices were of longer duration." (from Samuel Mordecai, "Virginia, especially Richmond, in by-gone days" (1860).)
