I do see her in many census records but nothing about her birth family. Except for the 1880 census, which says Rosa's father had been born in Maine, all the other census entries for Rosa & George (1900-1930) say that Rosa's father had been born, like Rosa, in New York and her mother in England. Rosa most likely died in California sometime between 1930 and 1940. She was there (in Chico, Butte Co., CA) in the 1930 census, living with daughter Hattie Phippin Whitcomb (Mrs. Reuben Edw. Whitcomb). And Rosa is not in the California death records for 1940 onward, so presumably she died between those years. Rosa (Rosey) and George sure moved around a lot, didn't they! 1880 in Fond du Lac; 1900 in Bristol, Fillmore Co., MN; 1910 in Fannin Co., TX; 1920 in Oak Dale, Howard Co., IA; and then Rosey with Hattie in Chico, CA in 1930 when Rosey was a widow. I'm guessing that George died in Iowa in the 1920's before Rosey moved on to CA. The following entry in the Iowa Cemetery Records could, I suppose, be his: George A. Phippin b. 1853 d. 1924 buried Burr Oak Cemetery (records of Winneshiek County) Wish I'd found more for you, Brianna, about your Rosa's family. Perhaps one of the other Abbotts who married in Fond du Lac county (WI) around the time that Rosey did would be a sibling or other relative of hers. Wisc.

Naturally, the FDL and Brown Co. RW message boards & mailing lists would enjoy any photos you might post a link to, also any description of your hunt for the ROY ancestors so many of us share. The ROY family is interesting to explore. Besides being a direct descendant of 2 of the approximately 17 children of Pierre ROY & Catherine Ducharme, Tom found he has lines back to England & Scotland via a "foster daughter" in the ROY household. [Elizabeth CORSE, captured & marched to Canada following the 1703 Deerfield Massacre, ransomed by Pierre ROY. She liked life in Laprairie so much, she married 2 different French Canadians and refused to return to MA.] The ROYs were in New France a century before 1776, and the extensive French-Canadian records are so much fun to research.
