I recently rediscovered some pages from an old family bible thatdetail the children of Thomas Rowntree. They were very difficult to read and I'm hoping to obtain clearer copies. This is what I was able to decipher, and I think most of it is correct. Maybe helpful to some other Rowntree/Rountree descendants.

Thos. Rowntree son of Richardson Rowntree March 27th Anno Domini 1778
Mary Rowntree Daughter of James Gilbert born May 11th Anno Domini 1787
