Joshua Rouse Family  

Seeking Joshua ROUSE

Susan Burgess-Hoffman - rhoffman@widomaker.com

I am looking for a Joshua Rouse who married Susan Caswell, Dallam and Catherine Caswell's daughter, Richard's granddaughter. I still have no concrete evidence to who his family was. Their son, Marcellous Wooten Rouse is also a mystery. Why did they name him Wooten? Was that a good friend or part of Joshua's family connection?

Have seen a Joshua in several places in and just noticed a John Rouse on the Greene Co 1816 Tax list in Greene.

From what Sarah said, the transaction between Joshua and Noah must have been at least mid 1800's. The 1816 Greene Co tax list was posted on the Greene County Archives Tax site. You will note John Rouse on the list. Then later a Joshua shows up on various documents in Greene - can't remember which ones. Just because John was on the Tax List does not mean he lived there but by Joshua being on deeds it would indicate maybe John did live in Greene and at least for awhile so did Joshua. Census records might enlighten. In any event, they are the only two Rouses I have seen in Greene which indicates it is possible that Joshua was the son of John whichever John he was. Sarah said that Noah was the son of Joseph. There is right much age difference between Noah and Joshua, but maybe it is possible they were brothers with maybe different mothers. Actually there is enough age difference that Noah could have been the father of Joshua but it would be a little unusual for a son to be selling land to a father. Maybe the Rouse Collection will shed some light on the subject.
