I'm looking for the parents and family of Rosanna RICH who was born about 1785, perhaps in NY state, died 29 Aug 1825 at age 40 in Elba Twp, Genesee Co. NY. Rosanna married Lemuel Lee CLARK, the son of Samuel CLARK and Mary LEE, in 1800. The marriage may have taken place in the vicinity of Fort Ann, Washington Co., NY, as Lemuel's youngest brother was born there in 1798. At least one researcher has suggested that Rosanna was the daughter of Capt. David RICH who left his first family in Charlotte, VT, and moved to Caroline, Tompkins Co., NY with another woman. A generous individual sent me copies of several articles from KINFOLK published in the 1980's that concerned Capt. David RICH, but the research at that time concentrated mainly on his life in NY and was uncertain on whether he left more children in Vermont from the first family than the two sons who later appeared in Caroline and had him brought up on charges of bigamy. There is no mention of a daughter Rosanna, however the similar names Roxanna, Roxa, & Rosannah are used in subsequent generations of David's descendants. If this ever proves out, I believe the line would be David(4), David(3), David(2), Nicholas(1). Another possiblity might be that on the Washington County GenWeb site, a James RICH is listed among the electors of Fort Ann in 1795. I haven't been able to find much on this family yet to determine if Rosanna was perhaps a daughter, but the records do show that there was a RICH family in the same area as the CLARKs at about the time Lemuel & Rosanna married. Any information or leads to Rosanna's family would be greatly appreciated. I can provide information on the CLARK descendants. Thank you. Jane Devlin Lake Orion, MI
