Capturing Beauty
In my thirty-five years of looking at Family Trees, I have never seen such a disputed tree, as the the Rosier/ Rozier-Sherwood tree. Is possible Bill Rozier claims he descends from Robin Hood, because David Rozier married…
SARAH SHERWOOD?
Bill Rozier attacked my newspaper, and tried to destroy my Free Speech, by assuming my IDENTITY. How long has he been waiting for me TO DIE? In my book, this constitutes a valid Robin Hood Myth, and, the continuing myth of…
THE ROSE LINE
I own the best Knight Templar Myth of…
ALL TIME
How many Fake Templars are LINED up to take a shot at me, make sure….
THIS OLD ROSE -DIES?
When I awoke this morning, I lie in bed wondering about how many Fake Templars are coming to MURDER ME! Is Bill Rozier….
OUT OF HIS TREE?
Maybe I shouldn’t….

How many Facebook freinds have stopped talking to me? How many has he driven away?

Research Notes
Disputed Lineage
At one time this profile listed his parents as John Rosier Sr. (abt. 1637 – 1705) and Elizabeth (Solley) Rosier (bef. 1643 – abt. 1672) . He was not listed in John Rosier Sr.’s Will dated 1705 and there are no records or sources which indicate he was their son, so he was disconnected from them.
Rosier Possible Origins
The Rozier/Rosier family originally from France in the 1500s to England to the United States. There is a possibility that this family were Huguenots, with the surname DeRasieres. There are documents regarding MankinTown, Virginia, however I couldn’t find any DeRasieres listed in the manifests. There were several men who came to the U.S. from England with the Rosier surname. [unsourced]
Family Search
Family Search lists him as born in 1662 in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia without any record or supporting source. [5]
Early Colonial Settlers of Southern Maryland and Virginia’s Northern Neck Counties
His profile on Early Colonial Settlers of Southern Maryland and Virginia’s Northern Neck Counties lists, without any record or source, that he was born about 1656 in Bristol England. [6]
Birth Date estimated based on Apprenticeship
There is an apprenticeship record for a David Rosser from Bristol England dated 30 Nov 1676 committing him for four years. Assuming this is the same David Rosier as this profile, that would indicate he was born around 1660 with him becoming 21 in 1681. However, it is not possible to link this record to the David Rosier who married Sarah Sherwood.
David Rosier Apprentice 30 Nov 1676
Baker-53780 Alternate ancestry for David Rosser – On 30 Nov 1676 David Rosser arrived from Bristol, England on the ship Francis and Mary & apprenticed to Lewis Markham for four years. [7]
30 Nov 1676 David ROSSER Bristol, England apprenticed to Lewis MARKHAM for four years ship Francis and Mary
Lewis Markham Gent. produced a list of twenty four persons by him imported and brought in the Country and made oath that hee never. heretofore had claimed rights for the same Stephen Morgan Rice [blank]. Eliza: Norton David Rosser Jane Hopkins Sarah Clark Morgan Aprice Harry James Joseph Davie – Chattam Jane Wm. Mushane David-Tundish Christopher Mortall Rice Oukin[Onkin?] Dorothy Williams Wm. Lidman Rice Hopkins John Mint Wm. Morgan Jane Bevis Abra. Evans Ann Howell John Parker Robt. Avery [8]
Lewis Markham died 1713 in Westmoreland.
It is not possible to confirm this record is for the same David Rossier that married Sarah Sherwood.
David Rosier b. 1632 son of William Rosser
This individual appears to have been born too early to have been the David Rosier that married Sarah Sherwood. Additionally, he died in 1662.

Some of the info on David Rozier could be a combination of two David Rozier. One transported 1676 by Lewis Markham and the other transported Abt. 1658 with his brother John.
Re: David ROSSER family in Virginia 1600’s
James Hughes claims David Rosser fits the description and is different from the other David Rosser listed in the discussion in the forum. He has a David Rosser with a birthdate of Abt. 1632. He is the son of a William Rosser b: Abt 1610 in Llansoy Parrish, Monmouthshire, Wales, UK and d: Abt 1662 in Llantillio-, Crossenny, Monmouthshire, Wales, UK. No info on the mother.
I show William with Two sons, John b: Abt. 1630 in Llantillio, Crossenny, Monmouthshire, Wales, UK and d: 1689 in Southwark Parrish, Surry County, Virginia Colony.
The notes on John were received from Robert M. Rosser.
From Robert Rosser:
This John Rosser is reported to have left Bristol, England at about age 28 for the Virginia Colony with his brother, David Rosser in about 1658. His family line was located in/near the village of Llandillio-Crossenny, Monmouthshire, Wales. The Port of Bristol was the nearest British port to that locale. This information was given to me by the “Internet” by William P. Rosser (188 Westgate Drive, Monticello, Arkansas 71655). This information was obtained from a book called, “Bristol & America”.
William P. Rosser states that he “believes that all early Virginia Colony Rosser lines arrived as one of those brothers, as this name was not a plentiful family name, especially that early on.”
1 Apr 1715 Sale by David Rosier Jr. to Francis James of 50 Acres
David Rosier Jr. sold 50 acres of land his mother, Sarah (Sherwood) Rosier inherited from her father Phillip Chirrout “Sherwood”. The 50 acres was part of a 200 acre parcel of land inherited by the four daughters of Phillip. It was sold to James Francis, who was the spouse of Mary (Sherwood) Francis, the sister of his mother, Sarah (Sherwood) Rosier, David Rosier Jr’s aunt. David likely inherited the land when his father died in 1698. David Rosier Jr. was placed in the care of James Francis and Mary (Sherwood) Francis after his father’s death as his mother had died in 1695. His father married second Margrett, last name unknown. David was likely born before 1 Apr 1694 since he needed to be at least 21 in order to sell the land.
