Research Notes

Rosannah was originally added as having a birth date of 1748 born in Virginia. With parents William Humphrey and Sarah Woods.

They were then removed - her birth date was changed to 1867 but her birth date was not removed. Her date of death matches with Rosannah Humphries Weber that was born in 1748 Virginia and died on 19 Sep 1811 in South Carolina.

Changing her information back and adding sources.

Research Note March 2019

Ancestry.com has introduced a feature called "Thrulines," which analyses autosomal DNA, per the AncestryDNA test. It suggests that various descendants of Rosannah, wife of Casper Webber, are related to several men named Humphries: Daniel Humphries, John Sadler Humphries, William Humphries, and Samuel Harrison Humphries -- and that Rosannah and the four men may have been children of William Humphries and Sarah Woods. Therefore I have tentatively added this couple as the parents of Rosannah. William was in early Stafford County, Virginia, in the northern part of the state. So his family could have been related to the Webbers, who were also from northern Virginia. ^[3]
