Joseph D Rowan was an oculist. He traveled in his buggy, around Nashville, making eyeglasses.
Joseph's death certificate and his gravestone record his date of birth as 19 Oct 1864. The 1900 Census says b. Oct 1864. But the Birth Register of Dunkineely, Ireland recorded his birth 16 Sept 1865. He was baptized on 17 Sep 1865, which makes sense if he was born the day before, but would be highly unusual if born Oct 1864.
