Mr. Roscoe, As you know I keep my eyes peeled for Roscoes, Rascoes, etc. and in looking at the 1850 census for Richmond County, NC I found the following household (#394) in Wolf Pit District. Aquiller Rashco, 56, male, farmer, SC [b. about 1794] Nancy Rasco, 45, female, NC Henry Cole, 21, male, farmer, NC Jane Cole, 13, female, NC You may have already seen this but the spelling is a bit different so I thought I'd send it along. Do you think this Aquilla Rashco could be your kinfolk? Also, I found some ROSCOEs in two cemeteries on the Richmond County web site, though the burials are roughly in the late 1800s, perhaps too late to be your line.
