Descendants of George Linn by Evangeline Linn Halleck, published 1941. A copy can be found at the Sutro Branch of the California State Library, San Francisco, California,CS 71, L 758.
According to the Linn Family History starting on page 127,Solomon Eastman married Elizabeth Roe on 29 Oct 1859 at Montfort, Grant, Wisconsin. She was born in Liverpool, England, 9 Sept 1837 and came to America when 4 years old. She died at Fennimore, Wisconsin on 20 Jan 1934 over 96 years of age. She was then the widow of Mr. Stimpson.
"Elizabeth Roe Eastman loved her flower garden, good food and friends and in her old age was 'voted' the 'most popular' old lady in Fennimore, Wisconsin which pleased her greatly. She lived in her own home to the last and did not want anyone to live with her. She gave away her extra bed so when her visitors came she entertained them royally, but told them she 'was sorry but Grandma had no extra bed', so they could make their visit short and snappy. She never ate a snack from her kitchen table, but always set the dining table with a white cloth and ate in style, day after day, though all alone. A very proud old lady, British to the core."
Her father "Mr. Roe came to America ahead of his family and sent for them later.They arrived in 1842 and settled on a farm in Lapeere County, Michigan. The five children were: William Roe, John who died early, Elizabeth, Addie who married Mr. Armfield and lived at Preston, Wisconsin (son name Charles), Adaline twin to Addie, lived in Des Moines, Iowa."
I believe his family joined him sometime around 1840 based on the ship manifest found on New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 at ancestry.com. Elizabeth aged 2, her mother Ann Rowe aged 23, and brother John aged 1 yr/2 mo were listed on the ship Lenobia out of Liverpool, England arriving in New York on 3 Oct 1840. John is listed as dying at sea in September. The family moved to Wingville Township, Wisconsin sometime around 1842.
"Burke, Encyclopaedia of Heraldry, 1814 describes one of the most ancient of the coats of arms of the English family of Roe as follows: Arms--'Gules, a quatrefoil' or 'Crest--A buck's head erased gules'."
From a letter from the late Lyle E. Strahan, Attorney At Law, Madison, Wisconsin dated 28 Mar 1994; "The Rowes, formerly known as Raws, and the Dolphins all came from the same village of Grinton (Swaledale, York, England). Referred to the book Dales in the Mississippi as a resource on the Caygills, Hugills, Rowes, and Dolphins. The people of this area were of Viking vintage.
