Notes for Solomon Row:

Solomon's marriage is not recorded in Gloucester VRs, and so the name of his wife is not clear.  His children appear in the VRs as baptisms, naming only him as a parent.  Two possible individuals are possible as his wife:

Deborah, who died "wife of Solomon” was buried on 6 February 1837, aged 80 years (Methodist Church records).

Elizabeth (or Betsy), widow who died on 25 July 1843 at Pigeon Hill in Rockport.

Since Solomon was associated his whole life with the First Parish Church, it is more likely that his wife was Deborah.  However, the name of his second child, Betsy, suggests the latter individual.

Notes for Daniel Rowe:

Pool writes that Daniel was the son of Daniel and Mary Rowe and grandson of Thomas and Rebecca Rowe, born about 1779. 

 Daniel and Mary's recorded children leave a gap of 20 months between their marriage and the birth of Sally, plenty of time for another child.  Also, Daniel would have been a namesake child, traditional as the first born son.  The error in his stated age at the time of his death is common at this time, and a two year error is not at all unusual.

Daniel's daughter Lucy Ober Rowe was named after her aunt Judith (Rowe) Ober, Daniel's sister.

Daniel is listed as a Private in Captain D. Elwell's Company, Col. Appleton's Regiment (the same company as his future son-in-law's brother, Thomas Wainwright).  This company was cited for action during the War of 1812, "In battle September 19 with barges of the enemy".

In his death record, Daniel is listed as a fisherman,  aged 61.  He died on the same day and at the same age as his wife Polly.  Careful examination of the source records reveals that they died on the same day.  The notations of their deaths are bracketed together on the page.  One age is shown. However, Daniel is indicated as 18 days older than Polly. 

Pool writes that Daniel and his wife died within a few hours of each other, Daniel a few hours after Polly. They are buried together in the west corner of the Old Cemetery in Rockport.  Pool references a single gravestone in the west corner of the old Burial Ground¹¹¹⁴.  Because of the emphasis placed on the similarities in age of Daniel and Polly, and because of the date of marriage of his parents Daniel and Mary Brown, I believe that Daniel's date of birth is more likely 1781.
