My ROSE family continues to elude me even though DNA testing connects me to the Dutch ROOSA family that settled in Ulster County New York in 1660. I have yet to connect this family to my gg gf who died in the Civil War. Conflicting records have him born in NY and OH.

the 1860 regular census guy below, is a sugar planter, not sure if you knew who yours married or any of the kids, but info pretty much matched, the last child is unbaptized at the time of the census.

You have no clues about this guy that might help make sure this is him??

Both listings are in ward 9, Assumption parish, LA so pretty sure it's the same guy.

At 12:06am on June 4, 2010, Lisa A. (Thamm) Spegal said…: oops, guess i missed that part, will have to re-look at that other one too to see if he was as well, didn't think he was, but now I wonder..... sorry about that.
