Jim,

I have listed all the Rowlands found in the DAR Patriot Index with the given names of the sons of Jacob Rowland. Some of the dates do not correspond with the dates you listed. Some of these dates are so far off that they could not possibly be the same, but I thought you might be able to use the data.

I did not find a listing for David, Christian,or Abraham. That does not mean they did not serve in the American Revolution in some capacity. It means no one has used their service records to join DAR. There are a lot of published books on Pennsylvania in the American Revolution and the Pennsylvania Archieves is wonderful.. You might try requesting military service records from them.
