Well Rita...I just found em in the 1850 Stewart Co. census too...Just about didn't because it is spelled "Rosymant" (LOL!!! Same census spells ggg grandpap Fitzhugh as Fitchen! <vbg>) Anyhoooooo.....here is what it has. Household 448 Albert Rosymant (with editor's note that it is now Rougemont) 27, farmer, born Switzerland; Rebecca 27 born Tenn., Idell 4 months, born Tn. Now dates being what they are, I suspect this may be the father of the Albert (Frank, Francis) Rougemont who married Nancy Sis Bell and had Myrtie.... but you will have to dig out some more than this to prove. jan ----- Original Message ----- From: j <unicorn@sun-spot.com> To: <DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 1999 1:30 AM Subject: Rougemont > WEll yup.
