This profile is project-protected due to the history of this woman being conflated with another woman of very similar name.

Project-protection should not deter any qualified member from making profile improvements.

I am certain this is at least a conflation. It is not even certain that Stephen's wife was a Roosa. It's been speculated that she was the daughter of Johannes Rau - a surveyor.

According to the Winchell Genealogy, after the death of Stephen Winchell (bef 1786), Mary married a man named "Smith." Her grandson "Smith Winchell" was his name sake. (I'm still trying to track down this Mr. Smith.) In any case, she would have been ancient by the time of her third marriage if this was the same Mary Roosa.

I really think this is wrong.

Has anyone checked "Settlers of the Beekman Patent" for the analysis there?

Following up: I checked that source, and didn't find much. I did find a reference to Mary Rouse and Stephen Winchell as parents.

posted by Ellen Smith
I am thinking there is probably a conflation going on in source trees between two different Mary Roosas.

Geni's profile of Mary Roosa gives her parents as different, the brother Jan of Arien Alderts. And even with the 1705 birth on that profile, the 1805 death is extremely late.

So I think mostly likely the Mary who married Winchell must be from a later generation instead.

Agreed that that they appear to be the same person but she seems to be a little old to be the mother of the Winchell children?

Roosa-63 and Roosa-33 appear to represent the same person because: This is the same woman with her soured christening and first of two husbands who died young. No tree conflicts. Add nickname Marytjen. LNAB is resolved at bottom of NNS PPP profile. Thanks!
