I need proof of the names of the parents of WILLIAM RILEY ROSCOE and the exact dates of his birth and death. He first appears in the censuses of Chesterfield County in the 1850 census as follows: page # 115, dwelling 271, family # 271. Riley Roscow 20 M W Laborer SC Julia Roscow 25 F W SC Sarah Roscow 06 F W SC Isabella Roscow 04 F W SC Isabella Cook 22 F W SC John Cook 03 M W SC It is unkown what the relationship is between the Cook and Roscow family. Julia is Riley's wife. Her maiden sur-name was Cross. The 1860 census of Chesterfield County shows the household as follows: Cheraw P.O., page 114, dwelling 288, family 288 William Rascow 25 M W Farmer $200 $60 SC Isabel Rascow 15 F W SC Sarah Rascow 14 F W SC William Rascow 09 M W SC Thomas Rascow 06 M W SC Anna Rascow 05 F W SC Harriet Rascow 01 F W SC The birth order of Isabel and Sarah has reversed since the 1850 census and wife Julia has apparently died following the birth of Harriet. The 1870 census of Chesterfield County shows the household as follows: Cole Hill, written page 8, printed page 282, dwelling and family # 93 William Rasco 38 M W Farmer $150 $50 SC Isabella Rasco 29 F W SC W. R. Rasco 19 M W SC T. H. Rasco 16 M W SC A. E. Rasco 15 F W SC Believe W. R. is William Riley Rasco (Roscoe) jr; T. H. is Thomas H. Rasco (Roscoe); and A.E. is Anna Emoline Rasco (Roscoe). Appears Harriet has died. The 1880 census of Chesterfield County list the household as follows: Cole Hill, Dwelling and family # 191 Riley Ruscoe W M 50 Head married SC SC SC Isabella Ruscoe W F 37 wife married SC SC SC Emoline Ruscoe W F 13 dau SC SC SC Laura Ruscoe W F 10 dau SC SC SC Manda Ruscoe W F 07 dau SC SC SC John Ruscoe W M 06 son SC SC SC The 1900 census of Chesterfield County list the household as follows: Courthouse twp., sheet # 7, dwelling # 132, family # 136 William R. Rasco H W M - 30 70 m 40 SC SC SC Farmer Isabella Rasco W W F 11 47 52 m 40 6 3 SC SC SC Laura Rasco D W F - 73 27 s SC SC SC According to Isabella Roscoe's death Certificate # 6308, she was born November 18, 1844 in Cole Hill Township of Chesterfield County. At the time of her death she was a widow. Her husband had apparently died before her. Her father is not listed on her death certificate but her mother was given as a Cross. She was buried in the Bethesda Cemetery. Informant was J. S. Campbell. Thomas H. Roscoe, the son of Riley Roscoe, death certificate states that his father was Riley Roscoe and his mother was Julia Cross. Thomas H. Roscoe married Annie Roscoe the daughter of Oliver Roscoe. The 1880 census list them as cousins. Since these death certificate comfirm that Isabella's mother was a Cross and her brother's mother was Julia Cross, and it appears that Isabella ( the daughter) always lived in William Riley Roscoe household, Is Isabella (the daughter) and Isabella (the 2nd wife and mother of William Riley Roscoe's younger children) one and the same persons?????????
