We start with a section which breaks our rules. It does not connect to another family in the database, although it looks as though it will do in due course. It is provided to show that there was a Row(e) family which was in Kent in the 14th century before moving to Devon. This is of interest not least because on RoweXX we show a family that was in Kent.
