ROUSE -
I and other Rouse researchers have failed to link our TX Rouses to our VA Rouses over the past 25 years. For us, the key figure is one James M. (Mattison?) ROUSE 1832-1912, who was a VA native but left VA c1850 (age 18), heading for Texas. We have found him documented in 1850 in MS, then in 1855 in TX. He left descendants no records about his ancestors, so the going has been rough.

BIAS, MITCHELL, ROWSEY -
Have been working on my GGGrandfather Seaton B. Rowsey b/ 1825 Rockbridge Co, (school teacher) for over 20 years. My great Uncle told me years ago that we had two of Seaton's, and that the school teacher Seaton married Mary Drusille Mitchell b/ 1825 Nov 20 1843, Amherst Co. I have never found anything on having two of them. But I can't find where he is buried He came to Lincoln Co (WV) and no records of his death, burial has ever been found. Records do show that Drusille married Linsey Bias Feb 21 1861. I am at a real lose on this can you be of any help. If not I thank you for your time.

HAGEDORN, HANK, HANKE, HANKEY, HANKS, HANKY, HENKE -
I am looking for my great grandmothers mom. Her name was Fredericka Hagedorn. She came to the USA from Germany in about 1853. She was on her way to "Whelin" which I take as Wheeling Virginia. She married Henry Hankey I believe and had 2 children in 1854 & 1858. These 2 said they were born in W.Virginia. The other 6 kids were born in Jefferson, County, in Cross Creek or Steubenville Ohio. They must have been married in Wheeling also. I know this is a rambling sort of thing but any help would be appreciated. By the way Hankey, could also be Hank, Hanks, Hanke, Hanky, Henke
