BUCHANAN and ROSSON
Posted by: Gerald Buchanan (ID *****5691) Date: October 04, 2006 at 07:31:12

Nancy ROSSON was born in AL about 1824. In the 1850 census for Prairie Co., AR, she is listed as the head of household with daughters Mary A. (born c1840 MS) and Arena F. (born c1844 MS). Also in the household is Flora BUCHANAN (born c1825 AL). Nancy is presumed to be the widow of James F. Rosson who died of cholera in AR along with daughters Jane, Margaret Ann, and Susan (see the 1850 Mortality Schedule for Prairie Co., AR). Also listed in Rosson household in 1850 is Daniel Rosson, age 38, mulatto.

In the same county but the Caroline Township, is the household headed by Effia BUCHANAN, apparently Flora's mother, since Flora is listed in Effie's household in Union Parish, LA, in 1860. Were Flora Buchanan and Nancy Rosson sisters?

Where are Nancy, Mary A., and Arena F. Rosson in 1860 (I've been unable to locate them so far in any likely census}? Are there any marriage records in Prairie Co., AR for these Rosson women? I'll be grateful for any help.
