Research Notes

Unknown Origins

Unsourced online trees and Find A Grave show her parents as Paulser Rouse Sr (1740–1810)^[3] and Mary (Weddle) Rouse (1738–1815),^[2] however more research/evidence is needed to connect her to these parents. These parents were detached and her LNAB was changed to Unknown, as there is no evidence for her LNAB of Rouse.
