Thanks for the tip. SARAH - time to run down and see the kids and check this out in the Southern Historical Collection. Tomorrow would not be too soon. I would think if there was a Bible there some of the Rouse researchers would have heard about it, but then, maybe not. THere appears to have been a number of ROuse/Mozingo marriages - probably more than we even have a hint of. THere are a lot of Rouse and Mozingo researchers on the Lenoir and Greene lists and don't think you are on the list so you might want to join us. BTW, how do you know that you descend from Susan daughter of Pierce? That information might help some of the other researchers. There are several Rouse families of various spellings in Va but I have not checked out these particular counties. Thanks for the suggestion. If the Bible indeed exists and is at UNC, it will be copied and posted soon as Sarah or some of the rest of us can get to Chapel Hill because it might break open an entire Rouse line - as well as a Mozingo line.
