I don't see a connection at this point. Rose is certainly not a sibling of Melinda's - we have Melinda's father, Theophilus, being born about 1829 in Canada. So he is of the generation of Rose. Unfortunately, his past has proven quite difficult to follow, having learned his approximate age and place of birth from census records, we know nothing of his parents or siblings. Thanks for the good luck wishes and your help. It is always a help to get a reply, if not for "connecting" information, at least for the process of elimination. I should also mention that I have seen their name spelled both ways that are listed, but most often as "Gosline".
