Biography

Her maiden name is written as Rodgers in the record of her marriage.


Rosanna is known from the birth record for her son Daniel John Griffin in the town of Boston, 1849. Her husband John C. Griffin was listed in this record as a tailor. Later records give his occupation as painter. Both John and Rosanna were born in Ireland.

The year entered here for her date of birth is based on the 1850 Federal Census for Ward 3 of Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. She has two sons recorded as Jms. (age 3) and D.J. (age 1). Note that "D.J." is recorded on the next page of the record after his mother. Marital status was not recorded during this census, but it seems she was a widow by this time. This 1850 Census record was taken on 26 Aug 1850.

Rosanna again appears at 40 years of age as head of household in the 1855 Massachusetts, State Census for the city of Boston. Again, marital status is not reported in this record. In her household are her sons James (age 8) and Daniel J. (age 6). Also in the household is 16-year-old Mary McLaughlin, born in Ireland. It is not known what relationship Mary had to the family. This record was taken in July 1855.

Rosanna's name appears as Rose Rogers on the marriage record of her son Daniel's second marriage on 14 May 1910 to Mary A. Myers (nee Marsh). Daniel's father is named John C. Griffin. This was a second marriage for both Daniel and Mary, both of whom were listed as widowed.
