Her name was Anna Bates sometimes refered to as Rose or Roseana, she was born abt. 1847 in Ohio; her parents were Jonathan Bates and Sarah Pentzer (Sarah also married Enoch Thomas) Anna married John F Halsey about 1867 most likely Marseilles, Wyandot, Ohio. The children of this marriage born in Ohio were; Lyndia, William (died before 1880), John, Sarah, and Nellie. In 1880 they moved to Custer Co, Nebraska The children born in Nebraska were; Charles and Maud. Charles Halsey I believe married Ada Gotohall? in Nebraska. Ada was married to a Davidson prior to 1917, he may have been killed in WWI. The sons of Ada and Davidson were Ray E. Davidson b. 1906 in NE and Leroy Davidson b. 1909 in NE. The children of Charles Halsey and Ada were Nellie Halsey b. 1917 in NE and J Edward Halsey b. 1919 in NE There were step-brothers of Anna that moved to Custer Co., Nebraska along with her brother Edward George "Grumley" "Peg Leg" Bates and his wife Eliza Hawkins Bates in 1879-1880. The Thomas step-brothers of Anna and Edward Bates were Morris Thomas and William Thomas. Decendants of Anna Bates Halsey may know her mother Sarah Pentzer Bates Thomas as "Grandmother Thomas".
