  • Name: Rowan, Sarah Jane (née Dawson)
  • Gender: Female
  • Birth Date: 1764
  • Death Date: 1834

On 6 October 1781 Archibald Hamilton Rowan married Sarah Anne Dawson (c.1764–1834) in Paris. Rowan was in prison or exile from 1794-1803. The couple then see Godwin frequently, with there being an independent relationship with Mrs Hamilton, who often appears in company with Mary Jane. The couple had ten children.

Rowan's, Rowans, and Rowan and a number of other Rowans have all been taken to indicate Mrs Rowan's presence. We canot be sure of this but the pattern seems consistent and the calls often involve Mary Jane, who seems to have seen a lot of Mrs Rowan. There are also a number of calls on Mrs Rowan alone by Godwin and Mary Jane.
