    3. Here is a Montgomery. Co will that may explain who Abraham Jones' daughter , Roseann, was named for....although it doesn't give a familial relationship. Sandra RHOADS, ROSANNA. Norriton.June 15, 1797. December 31, 1818. 5.102To Rosanna Jones, daughter of Abraham Jones, 10 pds. silver spoons etc. To nephew Issacher Rhoads, 10 pds. To nephew Abraham Rhoads, 5 s. Rem. to nephew Zebedee Rhoads.Exec: Zebedee Rhoads. Wit: Nathan Potts, Priscilla Potts. "........Marcy Unknown, the wife of Abraham Jones and the mother of Hannah Jones Richardson. She was born about 1760, married Abraham Jones about 1777, had seven children (Josiah, 1779; Hannah, 1781; Ann, 1784; Isreal (sic), Jan 1787; John, Nov 1787; Rosannah, 1789; and Margret, 1794), and died in 1794 in Upper Merion, Montgomery County PA. I cannot find her maiden name or birthplace. I thought Marcy might possibly have been her last name and googled for it under the Marcy family. It seems there were a lot of Marcys near Wilkes Barre and Scranton and that one of them was named Rosanna, not a very common name, but one also held by Hannah Jones Richardson's sister. So I have not abandoned this possibility, but do not know where to go next with it." -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
