William was born in Farnworth England and was known as William Burton because his parents were not married when he was born. He was baptized as William Rowlance in 1856 but continued to use the surname "Burton". His children from his first marriage to Betty Halliday all took the surname Burton.
When he immigrated to the US, he started using the surname Rowlance. No record of a marriage to Maggie Boyer has been found but he had a second family here in the US with her.
Although he used 1844 and 1848 as his year of birth in the US, his birth record in England confirms his YOB as 1850. The year and month are consistent.
No record of his death has been found other than his gravestone.
