Col. Lemuel Benton and Capt. Samuel Rosamond
Posted on September 13, 2013 by Royal Rosamond Press
My kindred, Samuel Rosamond, Lemuel Benton, and Gavin Witherspoon, fought under the Francis Marion ‘The Swamp Fox’ in the War of Independence. John Witherspoon is a Signer and is kin to the Preston family, as are the three Patriots above. These four men are kindred to the Stewart family, and thus William and Harry Windsor. Add to this roster, the Hart and Hull family, then here is America’s most illustrious and Patriotic Family.

He sent Lt. Col. Lemuel Benton with sixteen men to seize the pass over Horse Creek. Horry’s men stumbled over a sentry who fired a shot, and they quickly rushed Sumter’s home with Col. Marion’s remaining 134 men closely behind them. In a brief fight, they killed or captured 22 British Regulars and two Loyalists. One of the Continental prisoners, Capt. Perry Benson of the 5th MD Regiment, was wounded as well.

The Rosamond Family of Texas
Posted on October 5, 2011 by Royal Rosamond Press
A branch of the Rosamond family came to Texas in covered wagons and settled in Weldon. They were the Real McCoys who will go down in history because of Sweeny’s aliance with Rick Perry, a fake cowboy and patriot. The Hodges family alsocame to Texas.
Jon Presco
William A. Rosamond and his wife Canzada (Coleman) Rosamond and their six sons and other members of the Rosamond Family came from Kosciusko, 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.
They first settled for a short time in White Rock Creek where they were near water. Next they moved to Houston County. W.A. Rosamond, my grandpa, owned a gin and also a grist mill. And, was a farmer here in Weldon, Texas near the ole Huntsville and Crockett road. On this road was a stage stop, a short distance from their place. They had to hunt for their meat and other food. (Weldon?) was not a very clear settlement.
Canzada, my grandma, was a good hunter. She would go out and kill wild turkeys and other wild animals for their food – wild hogs. (She) cured meat by smoking it a long time. (They) had to make their lye soap as they saved grease. Their wash days were not easy – had to go to a tank & wash, boil (their clothes) in a black wash pot. Then had to Battle their clothes to dry them – beat them with a paddle.
William A. Rosamond (my grandpa) told of a hunt he was on – it was nite time. He and a friend had one shell left. They saw something so they climbed a tree. They saw two eyes shining so they used their last shell, didn’t know if they killed the animal or not because they could still see two eyes shining. But, when it got (to be) daylight, they could see a panther and it was dead.
W.A. Rosamond (my grandpa) found a baby girl in the mill hopper when he went to work one morning. This was in the late 1800s. They raised the baby.
One place they owned here (Weldon), Canzada planted some pecan trees. They are over a hundred years old – still bearing pecans.
I do not have records or dates of the land they owned – only one small farm, about 40 acres – here in Weldon, Texas. It belonged to Joseph A. Rosamond (my papa) and all of his children were born on this place.

Replacing True Patritots with Real Traitors
Posted on October 5, 2011 by Royal Rosamond Press
Above are photos of Governor Rick Perry and his wife (future fist lady?) with real neo-Confederates, who replaced my kin, Alexander Hodges, as leader of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, an organization that was dedicated to tending to Confederate and Southern graves. Now, the SCV is dedicated to seeing that our President fail in all his endeavors, so Sweeney the Swine and his ilk can take over America after destroying the Federal Government.
Above are photos of my Rosamond kindred tending to the lost – and now found – graves our our ancestors. My great, great grandfather lie here, James Rosamond. I believe the Sweeney family is buried nearby.
Wildflower seeds were spread around the Rose of the World graveyard, thus, fulfilling a prophetic fairytale. Sleeping Beauty is named Rosamond. I made a video where I reveal the secret of our Nation’s Flag. The red and white stripes represent the Apothercary Rose that is associated with Fair Rosamond Clifford. This is her dress. She wears a cape full of heavenly stars. She wears a wreath of stars – as her crown. This is the Queen of Heaven – that I have come to awaken! Here come the Rebirth of a Nation!
Jon the Nazarite Prince
`Like a rose among thorns, so is my darling among the maidens’ (Song
of Songs 2:2).
Then round about that place there grew a hedge of thorns thicker
every year, until at last the whole castle was hidden from view, and
nothing of it could be seen but the vane on the roof. And a rumor
went abroad in all that country of the beautiful sleeping Rosamond,
for so was the Princess called; and from time to time many Kings’
sons came and tried to force their way through the hedge; but it was
impossible for them to do so, for the thorns held fast together like
strong hands, and the young men were caught by them, and not being
able to get free, there died a lamentable death.
Many a long year afterwards there came a King’s son into that
country, and heard an old man tell how there should be a castle
standing behind the hedge of thorns, and that there a beautiful
enchanted Princess named Rosamond had slept for a hundred years, and
with her the King and Queen, and the whole court. The old man had
been told by his grandfather that many Kings’ sons had sought to pass
the thorn-hedge, but had been caught and pierced by the thorns, and
had died a miserable death. Then said the young man, “Nevertheless, I
do not fear to try; I shall win through and see the lovely Rosamond.”
The good old man tried to dissuade him, but he would not listen to
his words.

“Mr. Brooks! The Replacement Jews are here!”
Posted on October 5, 2011 by Royal Rosamond Press
Zionist Jews are encouraging neo-Confederate Rednecks to play the role of Big Victims, the lover of Jesus and Israel, who is being bullied by the Liberal Left and their President. This Big Lie is funded by Madison Avenue and Wall Street Bankers, who use Trailer Trash as human shields, who are guaranteed to go to the polls and die for Liberal Sins.
Wait till you read the REAL FATE OF THE JEWS, Replacement Theology has in store for the REAL JEWS!

“Mr. Brooks, the Replacement Jews are here.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI10nV26-Og
“Whoa! This is them!? These are real Nazi dancing girls, and I should know. I thought they were the Pretenders, the Gentile wanna-be Jews?’ “The Pretendrs are the Jews, Mr. Brooks. These Nazis are the real Jews.” The Nazis are the real Jews! This is craziness. Call my lawyer He’s got to get me out of my contract or I’ll go down in history as the Jewish Goebels.” “There’s no way out of this contract because Mr. Hagee made you sign it with the blood of the apostles that is carried by the Great Whore of Babylon. “The who? The great what?” “You’re only hope is if you can turn `The Pretenders’ into a parady, like you did with `The Producers’. If you can get the people to laugh at these Nazi Replacement Jews, then there is hope for you.” “Laugh!? If I put pig ears on Hagee, maybe I get a laugh” “That’s it. Now you’r cooking Mr. Brooks” “Yes.Yes! I’m having a vision. Call up Bernadotte Peters. She’ll make a great whote of Babylon! And see if Steve Martin is working. I want him to play a swank Pope. A womanizer and smooth talker whose advances are constantly spurned by the Great Bitch!” “Yes Sir!” “And get me some computer animations guys. I want them to create the Beast that the Great Whore rides upon! He must look like a Roman hog, but not too much like Hagee.” “You got it Mel!” “Let’s take a look and Mr. Hagee’s storyboard and see if there are some yuks there.”
“What is replacement theology?”Answer: Replacement Theology essentially teaches that the church has replaced Israel in God’s plan. Adherents of Replacement Theology believe the Jews are no longer God’s chosen people, and God does not have specific future plans for the nation of Israel. All the different views of the relationship between the church and Israel can be divided into two camps: either the Church is a continuation of Israel (Replacement Theology / Covenant Theology), or the Church is completely different and distinct from Israel (Dispensationalism / Premillennialism).
Oprah Winfrey and the Rosamond Family Roots in Kosciusko
Posted on July 5, 2013 by Royal Rosamond Press
My grandmother, Mary Magdalene Rosamond, was appalled when her husband wanted her German daughters to be associated with Hillbillies. Mary’s Wieneke ancestors had fled Bismark’s Kulturekumpf as members of the Order of Saint Francis. Looks like Royal Rosamond got his way when he named his second born daughter, Bertha Mae. Royal’s mother, was Ida Louisiana Rose. Here are some more names from down in the Delta that sound like women out of Lil Abner.
Lillie Mae Rosamond
Anna May Rosamond
Lola Mae Rosamond
Eva Mae Rosamond (1902 – 1973)
Born in Choctaw, Mississippi, USA on 29 Dec 1902 to Wade Hampton Rosamond and Lillie Mae Rosamond. Eva Mae married Tommy Jefferson Ray and had 4 children. She passed away on 18 May 1973 in Bossier City, Bossier, Louisiana, USA.
At Island Park I beheld a long-legged beauty in cut-offs walking my way. She almost was a double for Rena, whom I compared to Moonbeam McSwine. When I went in front of the stage to do my Nazarite Charismatic Mojo, I saw her smiling in the front row. I almost asked her to dance, but, then my dream would be over, because I would have to die.
Did it ever occur to anyone the Lord wanted Moses to live forever? Yes…….Jesus got it, the riddle.
What even my liberal friends can not understand – because they are jealous – there are original roots to the most enduring things – a Genesis! Most of them fuckable redneck cowgirls for Jesus, are poured into the mold of the Rosamond Women – the Roses of the World!

Subject:[HODGES-L] Another William Hodges No. 3 – Register Report 4th Generation
Date: Thu, 26 Dec 2002 18:58:11 -0500
This is the fourth and final generation I will post for this William Hodges. This is the generation that drove me crazy trying to figure out. I’d be interested on comments concerning my analysis. If anyone is a member of this Hodges family, I’d sure like to get additioinal information on the death of Thomas H. Hodges and Sarah Jane Hodges Rosamond.
——————————–
Generation No. 4
8. SARAH JANE (SALINER) HODGES (THOMAS H.3, JAMES L.2, WILLIAM1) was born Abt. 1846 in Choctaw County, Mississippi, and died Abt. 1884 in Montgomery County, Mississippi. She married MARION FRANCIS “FRANK” ROSAMOND Abt. 1865 in Mississippi, son of BENJAMIN ROSAMOND and JANE ROGERS. He was born September 13, 1848 in Carroll County, Mississippi, and died July 13, 1935 in Lovelady, Texas.
Notes for SARAH JANE (SALINER) HODGES:
REGARDING SARAH JANE HODGES AND MARION FRANCIS “FRANK” ROSAMOND
>From 1850 Choctaw County, MS census:
539-539 CROWDER (This couple does not appear in the 1860 census)
i. J. W. 30 m Farmer 25 NC
ii. Malinda 21 f TN
This is the Malinda that married Thomas H. Hodges before 1860. J. W. Crowder apparently died between 1855 and 1860. Their children were:
Sarah M. T. J. Crowder b. abt. 1860
Martin L. Crowder b. abt. 1852
Isaac W. Crowder b. abt. 1855
___ / ___ HODGES
i. Thomas 30
ii. Maryan 25
iii. Sarah 4
iv. James 2
Maryan(n) is the mother of Sarah and James Hodges, rather than Malinda. Maryan apparently died between 1874 and 1860. By 1860, Thomas H. Hodges and Malinda B. Crowder are married and their families have been united.
>From 1860 Choctaw County, MS census:
641-619 HODGES
i. Thomas H. 42 Farmer 800 688 SC
ii. Malinda B. 35 Household Mistress TN
iii. Saliner 14 MS (This is Sarah, daughter of Maryann)
iv. James 13 MS (Son of Maryan)
v. Martha 10 MS (Daughter of Maryan)
vi Benjamin 7 MS (Son of Maryan)
Note that Benjamin has to be Maryann’s son and not Malinda,
because at the time he was born abt. 1853, Malinda is still
with her first husband.
vii. CROWDER, Sarah M. T. J. 10 MS
viii. CROWDER, Martin L. J. 8 MS
ix. CROWDER, Isaac W. 5 MS
By 1870, Thomas H. and Malinda B. Hodges have had three additional children, Elizabeth, Lewis O., and Mary M. E. Hodges. Sarah (Saliner?) Hodges has married, as she is shown by her married name of Rosamond, and she has two children living with the family, Mary A. Rosamond and Wm. H Rosamond. This has to be Sarah, daughter of Maryann, as Sarah Crowder age 19 is still listed in the census under that name as shown below.
>From 1870 Choctaw County, MS census:
74 – 74 HODGES
i. T.H. 53 Farmer SC
ii. Malinda 42 Keeping House
iii. Benj. F. 16 Farmer
iv. Elizabeth 8
v. Mary M. E. 2/12
vi. CROWDER, Sarah 19
vii. CROWDER, Martin L. 17
viii. ROSAMOND, Sarah 22
ix. ROSAMOND, Mary A. 4
x. ROSAMOND, Wm. H. 3
xi. RICHIE(?), A. B. 14 Farmer (Who is this?)
Of course, the obvious question is who and where is the husband of Sarah Hodges Rosamond. I believe he is Marion Francis “Frank” Rosamond, son of Benjamin Rosamond and Jane Rogers (Mays) Rosamond of Attala County, MS.
It is known that this couple had a son, Joseph Franklin Rosamond, based on the death certificate of this Joseph Franklin Rosamond. This death certificate lists the mother of Joseph Franklin Rosamond as Sarah Jane Hodges, born in Choctaw County, Mississippi. Joseph Franklin Rosamond was born in 1876, making him age 4 at the time of the 1880 Choctaw County census.
It is also known, that the father-in-law of Marion Francis “Frank” Rosamond died ca. 1884 based on an entry in the Diary of Judge Jason Niles on 6 October 1884. This entry reads, “Frank Rosamond, son of old Ben, was convicted at the last term of the Montgomery County Court of the murder of his father-in-law and was sentenced to the penitentiary for life.” From family legend, the murder was precipitated by the death of Sarah Hodges Rosamond in childbirth, as a result of the actions of her father. This would put her death also ca. 1884. However, this does place Marion Francis “Frank” Rosamond in Montgomery County, MS in the early 1880s. Assuming that Frank and Sarah Jane Hodges Rosamond were in Montgomery County in 1880, a search was made for a census record for this family in 1880 and the following was found.
>From 1880 Montgomery County, MS census, ED 141, Line numbers 16-21:
Line 16 Roseman, F. M 32
17 Roseman, S. F 33
18 Roseman, A. F 14
19 Roseman, W. M 13
20 Roseman, E. F 11
21 Roseman, J. M 4
The F. and S. Roseman correspond to Frank (Marion Francis) and Sarah Hodges Roseman/Rosamond. The J. Roseman, age 4, is Joseph Franklin Rosamond born 1876. Concerning the other three children the son, W. Rosamond, age 13, corresponds to the Wm. Rosamond shown in the 1870 census living with his mother and grandparents.
This writer believes that the two female children A. and E. Rosamond are Mary A. Rosamond, age 4 in 1870, and Mary M. E. Hodges, age 2/12 in 1870. The use of the A. and E. for their names could come from the fact that both were named Mary, so the family probably used their middle names to distinguish them.
This still leaves the question of where was Frank (Marion Francis) Rosamond in 1870. It seems probable that he is the M. Rosamond, 23, b. MS that is listed in the 1870 census of Attala County, MS. This M. Rosamond is living alone and “Working on a farm.” It is possible that he was separated from his family because of having to take a job in the adjoining county, and it was far enough away that he couldn’t commute back and forth each day.
It is also possible that he and Sarah Jane were estranged which would account for the fact that there is a nine year gap between the birth of their son William and their son Joseph. There was obviously some dissension between Frank Rosamond and his father-in-law which ultimately led to the murder about 1884. I would suspect that this could be because at the time Frank and Sarah’s daughter, Mary A. Rosamond was conceived ca. 1866 Sarah Hodges Rosamond would have only been 17-18 years of age, and Marion Francis Rosamond was 16 or 17 years of age.
However, it would appear that there was some justification for the murder as Marion Francis “Frank” Rosamond served only seven years of his sentence. By 1893 he had been released and was in Houston County, Texas with the rest of the Rosamond family there. In 1893 there is a record of him marrying the widow, Mrs. B. F. Smith in Houston County, Texas. This couple had at least three children.

M. Rosamond, age 23, born MS, is listed as “Working on Farm” on this census page. I consider it a high probability that this is Marion Rosamond. I think that he was already married and living on a farm in Attala County where he was working, leaving his wife and children with her parents in Choctaw County. We know his wife was Sarah Hodges born in Choctaw County, MS based on the death certificate of his son Joseph Franklin Rosamond. We don’t know her age from this document.
Choctaw County, MS Federal Census, Stamped Page No. 375, Line No. 8
A Sarah Rosamond is living in the home of T. H. and Malinda Hodges. I believe this is the Sarah Hodges that was married to Marion F. Rosamond. Sarah Rosamond, age 22, born in MS, is listed on line No. 8 along with two children,
Mary A. age 4, and
Wm. H. age 3.

Marion Frances and Sarah Hodges Rosamond become parents of a son they name Joseph Franklin Rosamond. Joseph’s death certificate, a certified copy of which was obtained from the State of Texas, and is in my possession, establishes his date of birth.

Entry in Judge Nile’s diary stating that “Frank Rosamond, son of Old Ben, was convicted at the last term of the Montgomery County Court of the murder of his father-in-law and was sentenced to the penitentiary for life.”

9. JAMES SAMUEL4 HODGES (WILLIAM HENRY3, JAMES L.2, WILLIAM1) was born Abt. 1845 in Mississippi, and died 1914 in Arkansas. He married RHODA PRICE. She was born 1851 in Arkansas, and died March 25, 1893 in Arkansas.
Notes for JAMES SAMUEL HODGES:
>From “The Hodges Family”, page 11. “What I Know of Our Hodges Grandparents” by Hazel Hodges Parsons.
“Our grandfather was described to me as a hard-working, stern man who ruled his children with fear and anger. There was always a shadow over my own father’s life because of the relationship between them…
“I have also been told that our grandfather fought in the latter days of the Civil War and was wounded. He had a deep scar on his head as a result of that wound.”
Page 13.
Louise Shannon Franklin found a funeral card for her. It is heavy cardboard and black, printed in gold letters. A freehand sketch is shown in the book.
Notes for RHODA PRICE:
>From “The Hodges Family”, page 12.
“It has been said that she had an identical twin sister.
“… Small and dark, black hair and eyes, vivacious, dainty and petite — are the impressions I have…
“Although it was never spoken of in the family, she was probably part Indian. Seminole, I would guess … She smoked a corncob or clay pipe and she loved to fish.”
