Hi Kevin,

You're welcome!! Ancestry shows no birth/death/marriage for them. I did find this on a Family Tree:

This is a transcription of names in Col. John Levering's book Levering Family History published 1897 and the extension by Alice Levering Harker published 1971. The numbers after each name are NOT dates. These are the numbers assigned in the two books.

ID: I5886
Name: Alonzo De O. Rossiter 1740s
Surname: Rossiter
Given Name: Alonzo De O.
Suffix: 1740s
Sex: M
_UID: 9F52DB56EFBBD6118917444553540001846B
Change Date: 30 Aug 2002 at 08:56:48
THE TREE DOES NOT SHOW HIS PARENTS.

Marriage 1: Clara Parkins Levering 1740 b: 25 May 1848
Married: 10 Apr 1875
Father: Nathan Levering 633 b: 31 Aug 1804 in Roxborough, Pennsylvania
Mother: Elizabeth Rawlings 633s b: ABT 1807

Horace Levering Rossiter 3802 b: 1875 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
William Apsley Rossiter 3803 b: Mar 1881 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Frank Fisher Rossiter 3804 b: Sep 1887 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Helen Burk Rossiter 3805 b: Dec 1890 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I do not believe that Horace was born in PA. Census records are consistent with his birthplace as NJ.
