Suzanna, I've gone back and reviewed my comment to you about looking for a record of William Long in his parents records. I don't know where I got the idea that Williams parents could acquire his benefits. That idea is incorrect based on my own research experience. Ignore the recommendation. I'm still wide-eyed about his young age at death. Is that correct according to some record? Or is it family tradition? Had he been married? Why do you need much more info about him if he had no descendants? ----------- Aaron Fenton Burson Rose was the youngest child of John Rose and Margaret Berry. I have bits and pieces of information about AFB, his wives, and his descendants. My GGGrandmother, Elizabeth Rose Hall, AFB's oldest sister, died in AFB's home in Carrollton, Carroll Co, MO, in 1909. I tried to track some of AFB's descendants when in Salt Lake City several trips back. I wasn't too successful. As I recall, without digging through my notes, some went to Wisconsin, others to Indiana and Missouri. Christine Rose may have more descendant information that she has not included in her report on the David Rose and Hannah Par family. These are AFB's Great Grandparents. Are you a descendant of AFB Rose? I have been searching for a direct descendant of AFB for many years. A family history written in the 1880's in Indiana by Judge James Rose attributes the particulars in that report to Burson Rose of Hancock Co, OH. As far as I can determine, there was no other "Burson" Rose in the area at the time. I am assuming that AFB somehow acquired the family bible willed to his uncle, James Rose, by James Rose, Sr. I can find no other source that would have the details mentioned in the Judge Rose manuscript. I'd like to find that bible. Do you know of it's whereabouts? ----- Original Message ----- From: Suzanna Wells <wellses@ohio.tds.net> To: Gerald S.
