When you learn to read between the political lines of the Evangelical Neo-Confederate Redneck Party, you get a clear picture of the Jesus they expect to come save them – and the Red State South!

1. He’s got to be a singer in a Country Western band.
2. He’s got to be able to play ‘Somehwere Over The Rainbow’ – on a saw.
3. He’s got to be able to do a mean Hambone.
4. He is born of real Patrtiots, Confederate Veterans, and Arkansas Moonshiners.
5. His sisters are named Lillie Mae, and Arizona Zoe.
6. Ancestors must be Texas born.
7. Must be able to deliver a bone-chilling Rebel Yell.

Well, if the shoe fits……! However, I do have an older brother who is a racist woman hater, who refused to pay Income Tax.

Hello Rhonda. I only have two Blacks listed. The first is Arthur Black who married Nannie Sarah Rosamond. I have no information on Arthur Black, but Nannie Sarah Rosamond Black was born 1884, died 1947. She was the daughter of Thomas Newton Rosamond and Nancy L. Bowie. They had one daughter that I know of named Sarah Mae Black, born in 1925 and died in 1950 at age 25.

I don’t know how much data this site will allow to be posted, but I will try to paste below a register report for the ancestry of Jane Rosamond Liddell. Here goes.

First Generation
-, that Thomas was really his father-in-law, Thomas Wilson. John arrived in Annapolis aboard the ship ‘Forward’ in December 1725. He was tried in Berkshire, England, Oxford Circuit Court. The ship was owned by Johathon Forward who was a contractor transporting prisoners for England to their colonies. Ruth Menhel, another of our current researchers, shows him located in Prince George’s County Maryland as a Corporal in some sort of military organization.

John apparently relocated to Virginia where he married Sarah Wilson. Barbara Morgan located ship records showing that Sarah arrived in Virginia with her Mother and sisters in 1740. This could be where WSR erroneously picked up that year for Thomas’ arrival in the colonies. Thomas Wilson was Sarah’s father, and had been in Virginia since 1737. John and Sarah relocated their family to the Abbeville District of South Carolina no later than 1765.

The first instance of John being in Virginia is from Chalkley’s Chronicles showing hin in Augusta County in 1747. Then in 1765, there is a record in Chalkley’s that says the property he and Sarah owned was sold to them by a man who didn’t own the property himself. This apparently caused a problem, because the final record in Chalkley’s shows them selling the land to someone else with the courts permission. The next record of him is a land grant dated 1767 in Abbeville District, SC. That dates their move to SC between 1765 and 1767.

John was in the militia in Prince Georges County, MD in the 1730s (1734-37) as a private serving under a CPT Beall.

John was a master shoemaker in Augusta County, VA in the 1750s. This is documented in Chalkleys.

3. Samuel Null Rosamond, R255, M. Born ca 1751 in Augusta County, Virginia. Samuel Null died in Anderson District, SC on 8 Nov 1814, he was 63. Buried in Williamston, SC. Occupation: Farmer, Soldier.

Again there is some controversy regarding Captain Samuel Rosamond. William Sam Rosamond shows him as being born in County Leitrim, Ireland arouund 1738. This is based on the supposistion that his father John came to the US in 1740. If we accept that John arrived in 1725, and Samuel’s mother, Sarah Wilson, didn’t come to Virginia until 1740, Samuel would have to have been born after 1740. Barbara Morgan estimates that he was born sometime between 1745 and 1755. If we assume that John and Sarah were married ca. 1749, 1750 would be an approximate date for his birth.

After that things are a little clearer. WE know that Samuel grew up in the Abbeville District, SC. He may have been married more than once as his will mentions a daughter Polly (Mary) that was not the daughter of his wife Sarah Hodges.His wife Sarah was from a neighboring plantation and she was 10-15 years younger than Samuel.

Samuel enlisted in the militia around 1776-77 and served as a Lieutenant under Captain Adam Crain Jones and Colonel Robert Anderson (for whom Anderson County, SC was named.) In 1782 he was appointed Captain and served at the Siege of Ninety-Six and the Battle of Kettle Creek in Wilkes County, GA on Feb. 14, 1779 during the Revolutionary War. This battle enabled the revolutionists to halt the British advance in Georgia after the capture of Savannah. According to Samuel’s great-grandson James Oliver Rosamond, Samuel served as a scout and spy under the direction of Colonel Francis Mariion, the “Swamp Fox”.

A copy of Samuel’s will is contained in another web page on this site at http://rosamond.ourfamily.com/samswill.htm.

Several women have joined the DAR based on the Revolutionary War record of Capt. Samuel Rosamond: Mrs. Josie Dean Rosamond HILBUN (275253); Miss Nannie SULLIVANT; Mrs. Molly Rosamond SULLIVANT; Mrs. Mary Rosamond RHYNE (251829); Mrs. Allison Sullivant GUYTON (254893) – – – From 1965 DAR book.

In Feb 1785 when Samuel Null was 34, he married Sarah (Salley) Hodges, H322, F, daughter of Richard Hodges, M & Elizabeth (Betty) Jones, F, in South Carolina. Born ca 1765 in South Carolina. Sarah (Salley) died in SC or MS on 24 Apr 1844, she was 79.

Ruth Menhekl noted that Sarah’s father, whose name is unknown, also served in the Revolutionary War. It is uncertain whether Sarah died in SC, or if she traveled to Missisiippi with the family when they migrated in the early 1800s.

They had the following children:
       12       i.       Margaret “Peggy”, F (1786-1872)
       13       ii.       Elizabeth, F (ca1786-)
       14       iii.       John Hodges, M (1789-)
       15       iv.       Sarah, F (>1790-)
       16       v.       Richard, M (1795-1856)
       17       vi.       Addison, M (1803-1873)
       18       vii.       James, M (ca1807-)
       19       viii.       Mary, F
       20       ix.       Lucinda Jane, F
       21       x.       Jane, F

4. James Rosamond[6],[7],[8],[9],[10], R255, M. Born ca 1754 in Augusta County, Virginia. James died in Abbeville District, SC bef 10 Jul 1806, he was 52. Occupation: Farmer.

[11]James served in the Revolutionary War in the Ninety-Six District before and after the fall of Charleston. The Siege of Charleston occurrend in 1790 by the British Army led by Sir Henry Clinton. James furnished 150 lbs. of pork to the militia in 1782. He obtained land grants as a result of his service in the war. An abstract of his service in the Revolutionary War is on file at the Historical Commission in South Carolina.

James may have been married to a Dorothy/Norah Hodges (daughter or John Hodges and Elizabeth ?) prior to marrying Mary Daugherty. No one has been able to fine any record of this. Barbara Morgan lists a Lettice Jones as a possibility for James’ first wife. Much depends on when his first wife died, and the date he married Mary.

In the first national census in 1790, James, his brother Samuel, and his mother Sarah were the only Rosamond Heads of Household listed in South Carolina.

From info received from Ruth: “The census listing shows him as living in the Ninety-Six District 1 male & 1 female age 40-50, 2 males under 16 years and 9 slaves.” This can’t be the 1790 census data as that census didn’t break down the ages except the males, and that only younger and older than 16. Also, there is no 40-50 age group for the 1800 census. This breakdown didn’t occur until at least 1830, so where did this data come from?

A transcripted copy of his will is located in the SC Archives in Columbia, SC. A copy also appears on a separate page within this web site. James’ will was recorded in Abbeville County, 10 July 1806.

He and his brother Samuel are mentioned in their sister Jean Rosamond’s will.

From “Mississippi Ancestors”
“ROSAMOND, James, Soldier, S.C., b.

ca 1778 when James was 24, he first married Lettice ?, F. Born ca 1757. Lettice died ca 1793, she was 36.

The big question is who was James’ first wife???? One record shows her as Lettice, others speculate that she was Dorothy Hodges, sister to Sarah and Richard Hodges who married Samuel and Sarah F. Rosamond respectively, and some still believe it could be Mary Doherty (Daugherty), although that now seems very unlikely. If her name was Lettice, she might have been a Jones.

Alternate spellings for Lettice – Letice, Letitia, Lettitia, Leticia, Letticia, …

They had the following children:
              i.       Mary, R255, F. Born ca 1780.

1820 Census of Abbeville County shows a Mary Rosamond over 45 years old as a Head of Household with no one else living with her. This is probably her as she is right next door to James’ sons Samuel and Benajmin, and only 11 houses away from Nathaniel Jones Rosamond.

Fourth Generation
————————————————–

27. Robert Lewis Keown, K500, M. Born on 13 May 1817 in Georgia. Robert Lewis died in Hinds County, Mississippi on 14 Feb 1886, he was 68.

Robert Lewis married Margaret Flowers, F462, F. Born on 1 Feb 1828. Margaret died in Hinds County, Mississippi on 20 Sep 1885, she was 57.

Wife of Robert Lewis Keown was previously shown as Margaret Magee. Per email from Ann Boyer 04 April 2001, her name was actually Margaret Flowers. Ann has extensively researched this line.

They had one child:
              i.       Martha Ann, F (1859-1946)

28. James Madison Weems, W520, M. Born on 8 Oct 1809 in South Carolina. James Madison died in Holmes County, Mississippi on 3 Dec 1873, he was 64. Buried in Mississippi.

On 20 Jan 1831 when James Madison was 21, he married Jane C. Speer, S160, F, in Pendleton District, South Carolina. Born on 16 Mar 1813 in South Carolina.

They had the following children:
              i.       James Madison, M (1841-1916)

              vii.       Eliza J., F (1851-1905)

29. Amy Powell, P400, F. Born in Laurens County, South Carolina. Amy died in 1855 in Northport, Alabama.

Family group sheet from LDS Archives shows Amy's father's nane as William Powell and mother as Nancy Bobo. Her date of birth shown on this sheet would make her age inconsistent being the daughter of Ezekial Powell and Margaret Rosamond.

A short biography of William Capers Rosamond, written before 1904, says that his mother, i.e. Amy Powell was born in Kentucky. This again contradicts Ezekiel and Margaret being Amy's parents.

Another mystery here.

Amy married Nathaniel Jones Rosamond (22) , R255, M, son of James Rosamond (4), M & Lettice ?, F. Born ca 1784 in Abbeville District, SC. Nathaniel Jones died in Abbeville County, SC ca 1840, he was 56. Occupation: Farmer.

[40]Taken from Northern Alabama biographies:
WILLIAM CAPERS ROSAMOND, Druggist. Jasper Alabama, son of Nathaniel J. and Amy (Powell) Rosamond, was born in Lawrence (my note: s/b Laurens Co.) District, S.C. in 1833, worked on a farm until he was eighteen, whe he began the study of medicine at Northport, Ala., and was licensed to practice at Tuscaloosa, this State (my note: Alabama). He came to Walker County in 1856, and soon attained an extensive practice here. In 1862, he joined the Confederate Army, serving as a Private; was appointed Assistant-Surgeon in General Furgeson's brigade, and saw service in Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. He was at Shiloh and Vicksburg, and served under Bragg and Johnston in Tennessee.

In 1866, Dr. Rosamond returned to Jasper, and practiced medicine until 1878, when he retired from practice on account of his health. He was soon afterward elected to the State Senate from Walker, Jefferson, and Shelby Counties. Since that time he has been engaged in merchandising, and is now a druggist.

Dr. Rosamond was first married in 1856 to Miss Medorah F., daughter of Rev. Jas. H. Freeman, a popular Methodist preacher then living at Tuscaloosa.

There were six children born to this union. viz.: Edward P., Willie L., Ethbert C., Franklin K., Hester May and Amy Lee.

Mrs. Rosamond died November 15, 1882, and the doctor contracted his second marriage December 6, 1883 with Miss Henrietta, daughter of David F. Dinsmore of Lauderville. Mr. Dinsmore was a prominent citizen and held several county offices in Lawrence County. ((my note: ?? was this in Laurens Co, SC ??))

Nathaniel J. Rosamond, Dr. Rosamond's father, was of French Huguenot origin. His ancestors came to Virginia about the time of the Edict of Nantes (1598). The doctor's mother, Amy Powell, was born in Kentucky, and came to South Carolina with her parents, and was married there.

Dr. Rosamond is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South and of the Masonic fraternity.

On 6 Nov 1866 when William Capers was 33, he first married Medora "Martha" Frances Freeman, F655, F, daughter of James H. Freeman, M. Born in Jun 1846 in Alabama. Medora "Martha" Frances died in Alabama on 15 Nov 1882, she was 36.

William and Canzada came to Mississippi sometime between 1847-1849. Theya re listed on the 1850 census as living near William's father Benjamin Rosamond and his uncle Samuel Rosamond. In 1860 they are listed in the Choctaw County, MS census. William served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War (1861-1865). After the war they moved briefly to Arkansas, they went on to Texas around 1866 according to a letter I (Jimmy D. Rosamond) received from Myrtle Beatrice Rosamond Tanner Hyde in 1995. The story as told in this letter is repeated below. Myrtle is the granddaughter of William and Canzada.

"William A. Rosamond and his wife Canzada (Coleman) Rosamond and their six sons and other members of the Rosamond Family came from Kosciusko, Attala County, Mississippi, where his parents owned a plantation on Big Black River. They came here in covered wagons in 1866 and experienced all the hardships on the way – wild animals and other threats to their lives.

about 23 years old at the tme.

"Dress as well as conduct came to church attention as shown by the April 1834 report. 'Three of our yong members, Thomas Rosamond, M. Henderson and Charles Hodges were seen at an election ground and among the mixed multitude with coats off and sleeves rolled, and in hostile array, a sorowful sight to see Emanuel's soldiers parading in and enemy's camp, they being the case. The three brothers came forward and confessed their sorrow for such conduct, stating that they had no design in being stripped but to get their friends, whom they were afraid would be abused, out of the fray and that they had no intention of fighting, only to save their friends. The moderator arose and gave them a friendly admonition and retained them in full fellowship.'"

The 1850 Abbeville County census lists Thomas, age 39, Merchant, wife Sarah age 25 with the following relatives and family members of Sarah. John Graham age 13; Egbert E. Rankin age 20, Clerk; Larkin Mays age 28; Elizabeth Mays 21; George E. Mays 2; Abner Mays 18; Jane Mays 15; Lucretia Mays 13. Lucretia and Abner Mays can be found in the Attala County, MS census also with Thomas' dad, Benjamin Rosamond and his second wife, Jane. Diane Atkinson determined that Jane's maiden name was Rogers and that she had been married to a Mays.

Thomas and Sarah are foound in the 1870 Coweta County, Georgia census. He is listed as working in a flour mill. Three children listed with them in the census were all born in Georgia. According to the family Bible inherited by Sammy Rosamond of Carrollton, GA, on son was born Jan 1853 in Harris Couonty, GA; three born 1857, 1861 and 1863 in Coweta County, GA; and one born in Terrell County, GA in 1864.

ca 1846 when Thomas Henry was 34, he married Sarah Mays, M200, F, daughter of Matthew Mays, M & Lucretia Rogers, F. Born on 3 Apr 1825 in Abbeville District, SC.

CB Mays' records shows Sarah married twice. Her other husband was Elihu Campbell who died before 1845. According to CB Mays, Elihu Campbell married leaving no children.

They had the following children:
              i.       Jefferson, M (1847-<1850)
              ii.       Isabel M., F (1851-)
              iii.       Ebeann Ellart Lucretia, F (1857-)
              iv.       William Arthur, M (1861-)

              vi.       James Thomas, M (1863-1864)
              vii.       Benjamin Augustus, M (1864-1935)

49. Benjamin Rosamond Jr., R255, M. Born ca 1814 in South Carolina. Occupation: Farmer.

According to the birth dates of the children, Benjamin and Elizabeth probably came to Mississippi between 1837 and 1839. In 1850 they were living next door to Richard and Mary Hodges. Ruth Menhel speculates that Elizabeth was a Hodges.

In 1850 census they are listed in Choctaw County, MS. In 1860 they are shown on the census for Pontotoc County, MS.

Benjamin married Elizabeth ?, F.

Surname could be Hodges. She could also possibly be Mary's sister and we don't know Mary's maiden name.

              ii.       George, M (ca1839-)

50. Samuel Rosamond, R255, M. Born in 1815 in Abbeville District, SC. Occupation: Farmer.
http://genforum.genealogy.com/roseman/messages/98.html

By 1850 Benjamin had sold his South Carolina property whoich was located somewhere near the Mulberry Creek/Saluda River area. He divided the profit with his sons and was living near his brother Samuel in Atalla County, Mississippi. In the same time period his other brother Thomas and all his sons except Thomas and Joseph were also in Mississippi. In 1850 Benjamin was listed in the Mississippi census as owning 9 slaves and being married to Jane. Census Ed. 126, 495/495.

OTHER NOTES ON BENJAMIN'S CHART:
In November 1858, James Rosamond (Benjamin's son James ??) was appointed guardian of Jerusha W. (who is this?) and Tilman J. Rosamond. Then on May 16, 1859, Jane is named as guardian of Tilman J. and Marion F. Rosamond. These are her sons by Benjamin. On this date she gave her annual accounting regarding her sons.

On 12/20/ 1858, William T. Wright, referred to as the guardian of Jantha Rosamond (presumably Jantha Mays who was under guardianship of Benjamin and Jane), gave his final accounting. Jantha at this time was married to John F. Temple.

COLUMBIA — Denne Sweeney, the controversial commander in chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans who was ousted in court last month by a temporary restraining order, was given back his title yesterday during a court hearing.
But not before Chancellor Robert Jones took Sweeney, who lives near Dallas, to issue for taking his title too seriously.
''The evidence suggests that Mr. Sweeney, on occasion, has exceeded his powers at the detriment to the organization,'' the judge said near the conclusion of a seven-hour hearing.
Although Sweeney was renamed to the top post of the 30,000-member organization, the judge noted specifically that the commander in chief does not have the authority to suspend, either permanently or temporarily, any member of the General Executive Council. The GEC, which has members who are elected and appointed, acts as the group's supervising board of directors.
Sweeney will replace C. Anthony Hodges, a Chattanooga doctor who held the post for about a month.
The fight has been brewing for several years as the organization has become divided along ideological lines that pit ''progressives'' against ''traditionalists.''
The traditionalists contend that the SCV should remain non-political and should serve as a tool for living history exhibits for schoolchildren and continue to promote events such as Confederate Memorial Day. The traditionalists contend the lawsuit was needed to keep the organization from being unduly influenced by radicals who are in favor of Southern ''re-secession'' from the remainder of the country.
The progressive wing is more confrontational, vocal and political, believing the group should speak out when issues such as the Confederate flag and Southern heritage are raised. They call the other group, the ''old guard,'' stuck in their ways.
Tom Hardin, a Columbia lawyer representing several members of the ''old guard'' in a lawsuit against the commander in chief, told Jones that Sweeney suspended five GEC members at a meeting of the group last December.
''He did that to allow his supporters to have a quorum so that a number of items that he wanted passed could be voted on,'' Hardin said.
''We would not be here if Mr. Sweeney had not engaged in suspending people. Mr. Sweeney forgot that he works for the board of directors and took powers that he did not have.''
Ironically, the defense fired back a similar argument, alleging that three members of the GEC, who opposed Sweeney, organized a teleconference meeting Feb. 16 and ousted the commander in chief from office.

Following the Feb. 17 court action, Commander-in-chief Hodges, in a statement posted on the Internet, sought to assure the organization's 30,000 to 35,000 members that the ouster was "mandatory," and that "the GEC acted in the best interests of the SCV."
"Never before have we faced such an atmosphere of intimidation in the SCV, in which members, officers and GEC members have been suspended or threatened with suspension or expulsion for little or no reason," Hodges wrote. "Our pride in history has become, for a few, a faÁade masking anger, resentment and an apparent desire to browbeat the SCV into a new direction, one with [a] politically ideological path determined by a select few."
Hodges listed eight allegations against Sweeney, including suspensions and threatened suspensions of board members, conducting "harassing investigations" against opponents on the board, and "creating and maintaining a hostile work environment."
Hodges closed by warning members, "Be very skeptical of the shrill voices of contentiousness." He asked for members' "prayers, support and patience" in the board's efforts "to return the SCV to an organization committed to reasonable conduct, a precious heritage and the rule of law."
However, Sweeney predicted victory at the March 9 hearing, saying the other side "misrepresented a lot of things to the court."
Sweeney added, "Close to 90 percent of the members are not happy about this. They're not happy about a democratically elected board being overthrown." Hodges and his supporters "have become like a little monarchy. Some people describe it as a house of lords." Sweeney said he was getting 200 to 300 e-mails of support a day from members.
Sweeney's appointees removed from the board by the Feb. 17 temporary restraining order included Adjutant-in-Chief Jim Dark, Chaplain-in-Chief Ron Rumberg, Editor-in-Chief (of SCV's Confederate Veteran magazine) Frank Powell, Judge Advocate-in-Chief Sam Currin, and Chief of Staff Ron Casteel. The board also removed Trans-Mississippi Department council member Chuck Norred, who had been appointed by Sweeney to fill a vacancy.

Eleven years ago, when the NAACP pushed to remove the Confederate battle flag from statehouses and other government buildings across the South, then-Lt. Gov. Perry opposed the effort. Texas had a pair of bronze plaques with symbols of the Confederacy displayed in the state Supreme Court building. Perry, contending that Texans “should never forget our history,” said they should not be removed.
In a March 2000 letter to the SCV, obtained by the Associated Press under a public information request, he wrote: “Although this is an emotional issue, I want you to know that I oppose efforts to remove Confederate monuments, plaques and memorials from public property.”
State Sen. John Carona, R-Dallas, who described himself in a recent letter to the governor as “a friend of Governor Perry, fellow conservative and former chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee,” sees the issue differently. He urged the governor to instruct his appointees to reject the Confederate plate proposal.
“No one wishes to deny our history as a state,” Carona wrote. “But we as leaders should take every opportunity to support that which unites our citizenry. Reminding those among us of their painful past has no place in celebrating our great state.”
Perry has not commented.
“This is a matter for the board,” said Lucy Nashed, a spokeswoman for the governor’s office.
