Samuel Rowland, grandfather of Samuel C. Rowland, and son of William and Sarah (Latham) Rowland, was born February 28, 1780, on the family homestead, near Port Deposit, and rose to be one of the most successful merchants of his time. Engaging in the lumber business as a young man, he accumulated a large fortune and was one of the strongest financiers of his generation. He was also a pioneer in the business im- provements of Port Deposit, aiding in the building of the first wharf for steamboats
...and sailing vessels and owning much valuable property. He was for many years a director in the Marine Bank of Baltimore, and for a long time was private banker for the business men of Port Deposit and its vicinity. About fifty years ago a post-office was established in Octorara which, in compliment to Mr. Rowland, who was appointed postmaster, was called Rowlandville, a name which the village still retains. Through all the changes of the administration at Washington, Mr. Rowland was con- tinued in office until his resignation at the time of his retirement from business.
