When I read in my grandfather’s little book ‘At Martha Healey’s Grave’ that his mother was Ida Louisiana Rose, I wondered if Royal Rosamond was using his Poetic License. Then I found the Marriage certificate of William Rosamond and Ida Rose of Louisiana. Alas, I found Ida Rose’s genealogy. Royal and I descend from John Rosamond-Rosemond who attended the Providence Church in Virginia along with the following;
John Houston, Matthew Houston, Samuel Houston, Joseph Kennedy,
These men came from Ireland and Scotland and I suspect they are kin to John F. Kennedy, and Samuel Houston who made Texas the Lone Star State. The Rosamond family fought in the Revolutionary War. Royal published his poems and stories in Out West magazine.
Our ancestor Sergeant de Rougemont went with William of Orange of Holland to conquer England in the name of the Protestant religion. It is said he was offered Catholic lands, and his offspring took part in the rebellions of the Ulster-Scots. I would like Lara to take part in the Rosamond DNA project.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster_Scots_people
When I first saw photographs of Lara Roozemond, I was all but convinced we are kin. Royal was famous for his pale-blue eyes. When she put her poetry on the internet, I was almost positive, because she struggles with a born gift that may run in the family. But, it is Lara’s mouth, that convinces me – and her cheeks that are filling out as she ages! All the Rosamond women were born with that Rosy Mouth. I had it, and passed it on to my grandson, Tyler Hunt, who looks like my Aunt Bonnie, who is sitting on Royal’s lap.
Royal Rosamond self-published his book and his magazine ‘Bright Stories’. In looking at Lara as my Heir to this Literary Legacy, I see the formation of a International Magazine that will create a Bond, a New Heritage, that promotes the Creative and Poetic Legacies of Europe and America.

The Road Runner
By R. R. R.
Low hangs the mists, and chill the wintry air,
Rain-swept the pines, and sodden everything.
And into these the weary travelers fare
For shelter from the night’s approaching sting.
The woodman’s axe to pitch-wood bark applied—
Then red flames leap and light a circle wide!
A desert waste, white, and hot, and bone strewn!
Here giant cacti eke a living death;
And there beside, a man with face plain-hewn—
No water left to stay his waning breath!
But see! a miner’s pick, in cacti driven,
A fount of life the desert there has given!
Resourceful bird, Road-runner of the South,
Grey as the desert road he runs along.
What chance for food and drink where withering drouth
Holds awful sway and robs all life of song!
There vicious rattlers add their venom-hate
But choya armed the bird has mastered fate.
With instinct given to start a fire in rain,
Instinct to drink were sparkling springs unheard,
And horn of plenty moved beyond the plain,
Give me the wisdom of this desert bird.
Then I can go with right good cheer and will
Where life’s great desert meets the verdant hill.
Rosamond, Roy Reuben. 1911. The Road Runner. Out West (New Series). 3 (March), 234.

William Rosamond and Ida Rose
A Rosamond family researcher has seen letters exchanged between Gottschalk Rosemondt and the great Erasmus with the seal of a dancing wolf upon them. This is a Bosch seal related somehow to the Janskirk church where attended members of the Swan Brethren. The Renaissance artist, Hieronymus Bosch, executed commissions for the Brethren and their church. One such work is titled the Seven Deadly Sins which is the subject matter of Rosemondt’s book ‘Confessionals’.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hieronymus_Bosch
Rosemondt’s good friend, Pope Adrien, has been anointed the Vicar of Christ. Before that he led the Inquisition in Holland. He was the tutor of Charles Quint whose cote of arms in seen next to Rosemondt’s Rose Name, that looks very much like the rose emblem of the Swan Brethren that today, only Hollands royalty can wear, except, this rose is in full bloom. This suggest Rosemondt is the Master Rose Swan.
Rosemond is the Master of Louvian, and the Falcon Art College. He is a Renaissance Art professors and theologian that I found frozen in time, he waiting for almost four hundred years for a gifted ancestor to be born, an artist and thesliagon that could recognise him, a Lily amongst the thorns. Here is he motto on the rose:
2:2. As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
Sicut lilium inter spinas sic amica mea inter filias
The Roesmont cote of arms depicts a dancing wolf and the place of origin, the Bois Le-Duc which means the “forest of the Dukes” the Dukes of Brabant from whom the Counts of Louvain spring.The Roesmonts married into the Roover family who owned Montfoort castle.

In 1925 William Sam Rosamond did a relatively complete genealogy. His research indicated that we were descended from a Huguenot born in France sometime in the mid to late 1600s. He discovered that his earliest traceable ancestor was a “Sergeant” Rosamond who left France following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes on 22nd October 1685. He found that Sergeant Rosamond supposedly travelled to Holland where he joined the army of William III, went to England, and from there went with William’s army to Ireland. He fought in the Battle of the Boyne on 1st July 1690 (by the old calendar – 12th July by the new calendar) and then remained in County Leitrim, Ireland. (There is still a family of Rosamonds in County Leitrim.) He had three sons, two of whom went to the American colonies and settled in the mid-Atlantic region. One of the sons’ names was either John or Thomas Rosamond. Current researchers have not been able to confirm this connection. It appears probable that the American branch of the family are descended from John “The Highwayman” Rosamond who arrived in Annapolis, Maryland in 1725. He was sentenced to be transported into 14 years servitude for robbery from the Oxford Assizes. This John could be the son of Sergeant William Rosamond, and the mix up in names likely stems from the fact that his father-in-law’s name was Thomas Wilson.

In the absence of session records for the first sixty years of the life of New Providence Church, this signed call and the first subscription list are highly significant documents. The 1753 call is not divided by congregation, but the separate lists for New Providence and Timber Ridge for 1754 and 1755 can be compared with the names on the call. There were a total of forty-six names on the New Providence salary list, thirty-four in 1754, all of whom renewed their support the next year, and twelve additional names in 1755. The pledging founders of New Providence Church are William and Thomas Berry, Samuel Buchanan, James Coulter, Robert Culton, James Eaken, Walter Eaken, John Edmiston, William Edmiston, Robert Gamble, John Handly, George Henderson, Thomas Hill, John Houston, Matthew Houston, Samuel Houston, Joseph Kennedy, John Logan, James Lusk, Edward McColgan, McCroskey, Samuel McCutchan, Alexander Miller, John Montgomery, Alexander Moore, James Moore, Patrick Porter, Robert Reagh, William Reagh, James Robinson, Matthew Robinson, John ROSEMAN, Widow Smith, William Smith, Andrew Steele, John Stewart, James Trimble, Alexander Walker, James Walker, John Walker, William Wardlaw, Robert Weir, and Ann Wilson. In addition, there were nine names on the call that did not pledge, but who were closely associated with New Providence. They were Charles Berry, Samuel Dunlap, James Edmiston, Samuel Hay(s), McCrosky, William Reagh, William Robinson, Samuel Steel and John Wardlaw. [Capitalization of John ROSEMAN’s surname supplied by the compiler.]

In 1724, . . . John ROSAMOND and his friend William Ray were arrested in Abingdon, Berkshire, England for stealing a hat, periwig, 30 pounds British sterling, five pairs of shoes, and a brown gelding. They were held in the gaol in Reading, Berkshire, after their trial where they were sentenced to be exiled to the colonies for 14 years hard labor. By March 1725, they were transported to Newgate Prison and held there until they boarded the convict ship “Forward” owned by Jonathan Forward, and captained by Daniel Russell. The ship set sail on 28 September 1725 from London via the Thames River. The ship arrived [and] disembarked at Annapolis, Maryland on 8 December 1725. We don’t know who bought his indenture, but he is recorded as being in CPT Beall’s militia of Prince George Co, Maryland between 1734-1737. By 1747-1765 we find John ROSAMOND living in Augusta Co, Virginia and listed as a master shoemaker, owned land, paid tithes, served in the militia, etc.

(4) Christianson, Scott, With Liberty for Some: 500 Years of Imprisonment in America, Boston, MA: Northeastern University Press, 1998, pp. 23-24:
In 1717 Parliament passed an act empowering courts to sentence offenders directly to transportation. Persons convicted of clergyable felonies or petty larceny could now be sent to American plantations for seven years instead of being whipped or burnt on the hand. This meant that a large portion of England’s offenders were eligible to be shipped abroad and sold as servants for seven-year terms. Felons convicted of capital crimes could, with royal consent, be commuted to a term of fourteen years’ transportation or, in some cases, life. Anyone who returned before her or his term expired or who helped a convict to escape was liable to be hanged.
Jonathan Forward, a young London merchant with extensive contacts in Maryland, obtained a lucrative subsidy of three pounds for every Newgate felon and five pounds for every convict taken from the provinces. In exchange, he agreed to ship any and all criminals sentenced to transportation, and to pay all costs, including gaol fees, for their conveyance. Forward was experienced in the African slave trade and had recently shipped two vessels with 171 convicts to Maryland. Operating out of his Cheapside house on Fenchurch Street, London, he collaborated with Jonathan Wild, who helped to provide “felons” for shipment abroad.
On April 26, 1718, 29 malefactors at the Old Bailey were ordered to be transported. Four months later the Historical Register reported that 106 convicts “that were ordered for transportation, were taken out of Newgate and put on board a lighter at Blackwall Stairs, from whence they were carried through the Bridge to Long Reach, and there shipped on board the Eagle galley, Captain Staples commander, bound for Virginia and Maryland. (The Eagle was a well-known slave ship that had sailed for the Royal African Company for more than a decade, so the transport of prisoners to America was nothing new for her.)
Forward retained his monopoly for over twenty years until April 1739, when Andrew Reid was added to the payroll. Although Forward continued to transport felons from provincial gaols until the late 1740s, Reid assumed main control of the convict trade.
(5) Bailyn, Bernard, Voyagers to the West: A Passage in the Peopling of America on the Eve of the Revolution, New York, NY: Vintage Books, 1988, pp. 262-263:
For thoughtful Americans concerned with the character of American society, the banishment of convicts to America was an abomination, and for those with an eye for macabre humor it was ludicrous. The most famous comment on the problem was [Benjamin] Franklin’s proposal-published after a crime wave, perpetrated in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania chiefly by convict servants, was luridly reported in the press-that the colonies should be authorized to “transport” their rattlesnakes to Britain in exchange for “the human serpents sent us by the mother country.”

(6) Jimmy Rosamond <jdrosamond@comcast.net>:
Researchers [have] assumed that John relocated to Virginia where he married Sarah Wilson. . . . 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 him 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 court’s 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 a master shoemaker in Augusta County, VA in the 1750s. This is documented in Chalkleys.
(7) Caution: Based on a will which Jimmy Rosamond <jdrosamond@comcast.net> has found for a John ROSEMAN in Prince George’s County, MD, proved in 1789, John “The Highwayman” ROSAMOND may have lived out his life and died in Prince George’s County, MD. If this proves to be true, the John ROSAMOND who lived in Augusta County, VA is probably not the same person as John “The Highwayman” ROSAMOND.
(8) John ROSAMON, John ROSAMOND, John ROSEMAN, John ROSEMAND, John ROSEMOND, John ROSMAN and John ROSMOND are mentioned in Chalkley, Lyman, The Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia: 1745 to 1800 [Reprint, Originally Published, 1912], Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1980 <http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~chalkley/>.

In the absence of session records for the first sixty years of the life of New Providence Church, this signed call and the first subscription list are highly significant documents. The 1753 call is not divided by congregation, but the separate lists for New Providence and Timber Ridge for 1754 and 1755 can be compared with the names on the call. There were a total of forty-six names on the New Providence salary list, thirty-four in 1754, all of whom renewed their support the next year, and twelve additional names in 1755. The pledging founders of New Providence Church are William and Thomas Berry, Samuel Buchanan, James Coulter, Robert Culton, James Eaken, Walter Eaken, John Edmiston, William Edmiston, Robert Gamble, John Handly, George Henderson, Thomas Hill, John Houston, Matthew Houston, Samuel Houston, Joseph Kennedy, John Logan, James Lusk, Edward McColgan, McCroskey, Samuel McCutchan, Alexander Miller, John Montgomery, Alexander Moore, James Moore, Patrick Porter, Robert Reagh, William Reagh, James Robinson, Matthew Robinson, John ROSEMAN, Widow Smith, William Smith, Andrew Steele, John Stewart, James Trimble, Alexander Walker, James Walker, John Walker, William Wardlaw, Robert Weir, and Ann Wilson. In addition, there were nine names on the call that did not pledge, but who were closely associated with New Providence. They were Charles Berry, Samuel Dunlap, James Edmiston, Samuel Hay(s), McCrosky, William Reagh, William Robinson, Samuel Steel and John Wardlaw. [Capitalization of John ROSEMAN’s surname supplied by the compiler.]
Most of those pledging contributed fifteen shillings up to one pound, but there were a few pledges larger than that. Andrew Steele, who traveled to New Castle Presbytery to present the call, pledged two pounds, three shillings and four pence.

============
1. In 1925 William Sam Rosamond did a relatively complete genealogy. His research indicated that we were descended from a Huguenot born in France sometime in the mid to late 1600s. He discovered that his earliest traceable ancestor was a “Sergeant” Rosamond who left France following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes on 22nd October 1685. He found that Sergeant Rosamond supposedly travelled to Holland where he joined the army of William III, went to England, and from there went with William’s army to Ireland. He fought in the Battle of the Boyne on 1st July 1690 (by the old calendar – 12th July by the new calendar) and then remained in County Leitrim, Ireland. (There is still a family of Rosamonds in County Leitrim.) He had three sons, two of whom went to the American colonies and settled in the mid-Atlantic region. One of the sons’ names was either John or Thomas Rosamond. Current researchers have not been able to confirm this connection. It appears probable that the American branch of the family are descended from John “The Highwayman” Rosamond who arrived in Annapolis, Maryland in 1725. He was sentenced to be transported into 14 years servitude for robbery from the Oxford Assizes. This John could be the son of Sergeant William Rosamond, and the mix up in names likely stems from the fact that his father-in-law’s name was Thomas Wilson.

About Capt Samuel Rosamond
From https://rosamondpress.wordpress.com/2011/10/16/the-rosamond-hodges-all-american-redneck-family/
Samuel Rosamond, R255, M. Born ca 1751 in Augusta County, Virginia. Samuel 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 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
