MOSES ROWLEY was born in Swanton, Vt., in 1796. He married 
Miss Lydia Barrell in Hartford, N. Y., in 1819. In a small 
pamphlet published by him he stated that he entered the 
ministry at Evans, N. Y., in 1830; "Baptized about 400 
willing converts;" "Preached in six states about 6,000 
sermons;" "My average salary per year less than $200." He 
came to Wisconsin in 1846, and for the next eleven years 
preached in various places. He and his wife came to 
Mazomanie in 1856, and he at once began the movement for 
the Haskall University. Before his death December 7, 1882, 
he had voted for ten presidents.
