Biography

Claimed by some as the wife of Daniel Winchester.

Controversy surrounds Roseanna's maiden name with some claiming MATTHEWS (a sister to Daniel's brother, Douglas', wife, Sarah Matthews). However, in Roseanna's case for her late husband's pension, a witness stated that "her name before she married Daniel was Ashley",[1]

It has also been claimed that Daniel was married twice, with his first wife being Roseanna Matthews, and his second wife, his survivor, Roseanna Ashley. No proof or source information for these claims have yet to be found.

It is believed that Daniel Winchester's wife's maiden name was, in fact, Rosanna Ashley. See: Rosanna Ashley

In the Pension Application, in Martha Gurley's statement, the phrase; "The name of the clerk was Peggy." should read, "the name of the eldest was Peggy." The clerk's name is Jesse Taylor.

Ashley-2164 and Matthews-229 appear to represent the same person because: Each were married to the same WINCHESTER, and have the same Dates of Birth. There are known conflicting views on the maiden names of ASHLEY/MATTHEWS
