Hello All. Im searching for the Rosson line that my GGmother married into. It starts with William Rosson b. 1690 - Joseph b. 1720 - John b. 1772 VA (he married Nancy Connell) - James b. 1823 Robertson Co, TN (married Lucretia Van Hook) - James L. (called Buck; married Maggie Givens) - Clarence b. 1888 Robertson Co TN -(married my ggm, Minnie Blackburn White). Clarence and Minnie then moved to East St. Louis Illinois and are found there in 1920. I lose track of them after 1920.

I am new to researching my family tree. So I will probably need all the help I can get. I am from Boaz, AL. My father was James Edward Rosson actually born in Douglas, AL along with 9 brothers and sisters. His father was Huey Columbus Rosson. Huey's father was Charles Rosson and his grandfather was John Thomas Rosson. I do have a print out of all children of Charles and John and have all info. on Huey. As far as I can tell they were all born in Etowah Co. Beyond John I am at a loss it branches everywhere and there are so many of the same names. Just wondering if all Rosson's are related in some form or are there many different sets? Any help I would greatly appreciate it. Please email me with any help you can give me jbennett33@bellsouth.net. Thank you very much.

TOm,

I came across the 250+ page claim that D. W. Rosson made to the Southern Claims Commission and found some clues on the origin of the Pocahontas Rossons. I've posted this to the Civil War section of this website. The information indicates that Joseph L Rosson and David Worley Rosson were brothers and that the latter was born in Madison County, Alabama about 1804 and came to Tennessee as a boy.

I sent this originally to one of the members (old fogey) but I thought I would try and post it here. I enjoy reading what people have found out about our history. Good luck to all.

My name is Jay Rosson, I started doing some family history search. I have come to a dead end at my Great Grandfather. His name was John Thomas Rosson 1844-1922. It looks like he lived in Alabam and Georgia and probably fought in the Civial war for the Confederacy in Georgia. He second wife was Panatha Ann Lawson and she is my G GM. He had to be in in mid 60's when he had my grandfather.I have seen some folks family trees that look pretty promising, because of all of the Johns & Thomas's, just prior to my G GF.

Any help would be appreciated, and thanks for your time.

Jay Rosson

I'm sorry I forgot one item. John Thomas Rosson's father was "probably from North Carolina".

Thanks,

Jay
