My connection to the Rowat family is via Christian Rowat, 1782-1846, daughter of James Rowat and Janet Stirling of Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire, Scotland. She married Abraham Ferrier I, and they arrived in Canada in 1815, and helped to carve the community of the Scotch Line, near Perth, Ontario, from the forests in 1816.
