There they left their families and, in company with Smith Lapham (who was surveyor) and some others, they started out to hunt for land on which to make themselves homes in-this western wild. They located lots indifferent parts of Washtenaw county, but finally settled in the town of Sharon, which they helped to name. They were afterwards joined by two other brothers, Nicholas and John. The name " Row Settlement" was given to this location, where they all lived many years in great harmony and prosperity. There they raised their families to men and women. Four of the brothers are gone, -and all their wives but one. Their remains lay in the old churchyard near what has been known for many years as Row's Corners. *John Row is still living (over eighty years of age in Jackson county), and also the wife of Gilbert Row in Lansing.
