--------------------------------------------------------------
E. MORRIS met a CLYDE ROUSER at Mt. Hope Kansas in 1962 and she wrote:
"He said his grandfather was THOMAS ROUSER B 1841, Jackson Co., Ohio,
and he always wondered who UNCLE BILLY STILWELL was!
Said the name used to be spelled 'ROUZER'. In fact THOS ROUSER birth
record in the old Bible I copied was spelled that way. THOMAS ROUSERS
lived in Buchanan Co., MO, and his third and last child was b. Nemaha Co.,
Kansas in 1875. He moved to Mt. Hope in 1881 and d. that year."
"My census records don't quite agree with the record of age in the Bible,
but this THOMAS ROUSER even named his oldest son JESSE."
"The ROUSERS (CLYDE-probably) have an old letter that says:
'AUNT VINA (MELVINA STILWELL TILZ) says UNCLE BILLY (STILWELL) is
moving to Hutchinson.
1855 Probably moved to Kans with bro JOHN HAYS.
WHAT HAPPENED TO JESSE ROUSER?
MARY ANN HAYS ROWZERmarried G.W. STILWELL. (look at census
to determine when...and ages of her children.--1997 to do!)
At least 6 children named STILWELL and perhaps two named
ROUSES or ROUZES or ROWZER.
