He listed his occupation in multiple census records as commercial traveler. (Traveling salesman ?) His last census record for the State New York was in 1925, he is listed as a roomer, boarding with a family in Rochester, Ward 3 Monroe New York.
He married Sarah Elizabeth aka "Bessie" or "Libbie" Davies** and they had 6 children: Emma Elizabeth (1875 - 1953) married William L Weed (1866 - 1921), Mabel Lenore Rowe (1877 - 1969) never married, a son, Jessie Rowe (1879 1881), Irene Rowe (1882 - 1952), never married, Bessie H. Rowe (1884 - 1964), married Mostlyn Lloyd Jones (1880 - 1954), and Harry John Rowe (1887 - 1970) , married Edith Mae Schueler {1890 - 1961).
** Sarah Elizabeth Davies parents were Richard and Elizabeth Davies they had 7 children. They named TWO of their daughters Elisabeth moreover, both were called Libbie or Bessie.
When researching the family Davies, John C. Rowe Jr's wife is often confused with her older sister, Elizabeth (1856 - 1883) in census records due to the fact that they both were listed as Libbie or Bessie. But Mrs. Rowe's elder sister never married and died of Consumption at the age of 23. I have yet to find a Find A Grave memorial for John C. Rowe Jr's wife.
