I was trying to write so fast I messed up the year (Sorry), I am glad you caught it. I have been working so long trying to prove connections between Paschal and Emily with their parents that the dates get jumbled. My big mystery is Henry and other potential siblings, I am hoping that if I can go down the line and eventually find all the siblings of Paschal and Emily I may be able to in turn find out more about their parents Gilbert & Emma (They have been pretty elusive). I have additional information on both Emily, Paschal and Henry (I do not know for sure if Henry is related to them, I just have a gut feeling). Hence why I am checking out all Rouses in Dane Co. Thank you so much for looking! Sincerely, Chi (Rouse) Benedict Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: AislynHaze Surnames: Rouse, Robinson, Wallace Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.wisconsin.counties.dane/5793/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Sorry this message is a bit long but I am looking for any information that will help me break through a brick wall on my Rouse family. I am looking for ANY Rouses that were in Dane County, between 1845-1900). I am trying to find siblings of: My 4th great-grandfather Paschal Peola Rouse (Also known from censuses as Pascal, Paschal P. and P. P. Rouse) b: abt. 1828 in Amherst, NY D: June 1, 1894 in Winona, Minnesota. Buried in Richland Center Cemetery, Richland Center, WI. Paschal, according to census records was in Madison in 1850 & 1855, then Mazomanie in 1860 & 1870. In 1878 he was in Richland Center, Richland Co., WI when his wife Helen died and was still there in 1880. In the 1890 Veteran's census he is living in Winona, Minnesota and was there in 1894 when he died. Paschal's first marriage in 1853 to Helen Hayes does not list his parents. According to his 2nd marriage to Frances was born in Amherst, NY to Gilbert and Emma Rouse. I haven't nailed a yeardate for his birth as we believe it was anywhere from 1819-1828 (We believe closer to 1828 as census' have pointed to this as far as his age goes). Between 1840 and 1850 Paschal moved to Dane Co., WI from NY. Emily A. (Rouse) Foote. Emily is listed as "daughter of Gilbert Rouse, of Williamsville, N. Y." in a biography on her husband William H. Foote; they had a daughter named Emma M. Emily & William were married in Dane County in 1848. They lived in Madison, Dane Co., WI in the 1850 census before moving on to Iowa. There may be another sibling named Henry F. Rouse (B: Abt. 1825 in NY), who lived in both Mazomanie and Madison at around the same times that Paschal did. I also have Paschal & Henry F. Rouse as having served in the same two companies during the Civil War: Paschal enlisted in the Union Army in November 22, 1861 as a Private in Company M of the 3rd Wisconsin Calvary then on September 20, 1864 he enlisted in the Union Army as a 1st Sergent in Company G of the 1st Wisconsin Heavy Artillery. Henry F. Rouse enlisted in the Union Army in October 12, 1861 as a Captain in Company M of the 3rd Wisconsin Calvary then on October 25, 1864 he enlisted in the Union Army as a Captain in Company G of the 1st Wisconsin Heavy Artillery. I have Paschal's Civil War Pension Records but it does not state anything about his family, Henry is mentioned in his records once, but they are hard to read and I cannot tell if a relationship is given. I have yet to get Henry's pension records. In Henry's household in the 1850 census (Madison, WI) is a William Rouse (B: Abt. 1822 in NY) along with an Emily and Mary McInster all living with him. William is most likely a brother to Henry. In the 1855 Wisconsin State Census there are 5 Rouses living in Dane County, WI. They are: C. M. Rouse Casper Rouse Henry F. Rouse (This is the Henry mentioned above) Pascall Rouse (This is my Paschal) Sem. S.* Rouse I do not know who the other Rouses are or anything about them yet. I will take any help I can get unravelling this mystery as I have almost ran out of ideas. I do have additional information on Paschal's children and a little bit more on Henry F. Rouse and Emily A. (Rouse) Foote's descendants if needed. Paschal's children were all born in Madison in the 1850's (Clarence, Ernest, William and Rose), I do not have most of the birth certificates though. I have only been able to prove my 3rd great-grandfather's birth (Clarence). I also have a little extra information on Gilbert that may or may not help. I appreciate your time and any help that can be given. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Chi (Rouse) Benedict Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

The opening paragraph reads: " Among the most vital of Madison's early residents were the farmers who settled the surrounding countryside and supplied the growing city. They included Daniel Williams, whose Prospect Hill farm remained in the family from 1843 to 1991;" Here are the references as they appear: WILLIAMS, DANIEL (JANUARY 15, 1797 - JULY 18, 1876) and MARY GREEN (1802 - February 25, 1881) -SECTION 27. Williams built several locks on the Erie Canal before coming to Wisconsin in the 1840s and settling on Stoner's Prairie. In 1843 he started the Prospect Hill Farm. He was "a kind neighbor, a friend of the poor, and leaves a large circle of friends." WILLIAMS, SYLVESTER B. (JANUARY 9, 1828 - MARCH 8, 1920) and HARRIET E. FRENCH (1836-February 15, 1856) and SARAH A. KENNY (1838 - MARCH 1, 1898) - SECTION 27. Williams was in the lime kiln business, farmed, and bred livestock. He followed his father Daniel to Dane County in 1847, operated a lime kiln from 1853 to 1888, then bred livestock. He was one of the best horsemen in the area. Williams served on the town school board for seven years and was also treasurer of the town board. He belonged to the International Order of Odd Fellows. Harriet married Sylvester in 1855. Sarah and Sylvester married in 1859. Their son James was born in 1860 and their daughter, Laura A. Williams Davenport, was born in 1862. Laura lost a child in 1891; she wrote "Go to thy rest in peace and sweet be thy repose." She was eventually committed to the State Hospital for the Insane, unable to overcome her grief.

Dear Researchers, The University of Wisconsin Digital Collections has recently added new items to Historical County Plat Maps from South Central Wisconsin and Early Madison City Directories : This digital collection of historic plat books, city directories, and atlases provides accessibility to early information about South Central Wisconsin, specifically Columbia, Dane, Portage and Wood counties. A variety of the oldest plat books, atlases and city directories were chosen because of their frequent use and delicate condition. Materials recently added to the collection include several city directories. This project was funded by a 2007 Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant. http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/WI.MadisonLocHist -- Best wishes, Melissa McLimans UW Digital Collections Center Stay up date on our collections.
