SUMMARY OF DATA ON ROSEBOOM ANCESTORS OF EUGENE H. ROSEBOOM (cont.)
Garret's second son, Hendrick is listed in the bible as born May 27, 1757. This is the birthdate of Hendrick Roseboom who was a sergeant in the New Jersey Militia during the American Revolution. His pension application (in the National Archives) filed from Ross County, Ohio in 1833 indicates he moved from Somerset County, New Jersey about 1788 to Hampshire County, Virginia and then to Ross County, Ohio in 1800. The DAR patriot index lists him as "Henry Rosebroom" and his wife as "Rachel Smawley" probably Smalley.

Buried:
Old Methodist Cemetery

Hendrick married Rachel Smalley about 1778 in New Jersey, USA. Rachel (daughter of Andrew Smalley and Agnes Coriell) was born on 25 Apr 1756 in Piscataway, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA; died on 24 Jul 1836 in Frankfort, Ross, Ohio, USA; was buried in Old Methodist Cemetery, Frankfort, Ross County, OH.

SUMMARY OF DATA ON ROSEBOOM ANCESTORS OF EUGENE H. ROSEBOOM (cont.)
The next major source is a Family Bible (see enclosed) in the DAR library in Washington DC. This Bible was originally that of Robert Roseboom (born in 1693, died 1764) and Ryghie Roseboom (original notes written in Dutch). They were 1st cousins as indicated by the dates and names in appendix c and d, Brief History ... and married in 1743, when she would have been 43 years old. Not surprisingly, they died without offspring. Robert's will was probated in 1764 and mentions only his wife, brothers Hendrick, Ahasverus, Geysbert, John, and sister Elsje. Apparently their Bible was passed to Robert Roseboom, the grandson of Robert Roseboom's older brother Hendrick (born Dec. 16 1690, who married Debora (?).

I recall looking up Robert Roseboom's will in the DAR library about 1972 and remember that it said that he was leaving to (?) "my lands in Poughkeepsie, of which I am not now in possession". This ties him to the Appendix (h) in "A Brief History of ....." and an oral tradition in my family that we once owned the city of Poughkeepsie. This land was acquired from the Rosebooms in a well-known court case where the local Episcopalian Church sued and acquired the land since the owners were not living anywhere near it and, they argued, had abandoned it.

The other Bible entries were apparently recorded by Robert Roseboom, and start with "My father, Garret Roseboom born July 19, 1722." This fits with the Somerset County Historical Quarterly vol. 4, p. 143, where a Gerrit was baptized by Hendrick and Debora Roseboom on August 17, 1722 -Readington Reformed Church. The second generation Hendrick mentioned in "Brief History ...." above born in 1790 would have been 33 years old.

Gerrit married Gertrude about 1753 in Albany, Albany, New York, USA. Gertrude was born on 26 Mar 1731 in Albany, Albany, New York, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Andrew married Agnes Coriell. Agnes was born on 8 May 1728 in Piscataway, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA; died on 28 Sep 1782 in Piscataway, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Will: 23 Oct 1786, Hampshire County, WV
• Probate: 11 Sep 1793, Hampshire County, WV

Notes:

DEATH: Will proved 11 sep 1793 and was dated 23 Oct 1786. QUOTE THIS WILL. See page 7, Pancake Report #1, DRAFT.

FAMILY: He mentions unborn child when he wrote his will, which is probably Betsey. Since Andrew's wife was Elizabeth and no other child is named after her, our Betsey may be an Elizabeth called "Betsey". Also, there may be other evidence that she is the younger sister of the sons named in Andrew's will. For now, the names of the PANCAKEs who appear in Lawrence Co., OH have the same names as Andrew's sons, so this is something to consider with other facts that are known to further build a preponderance of evidence case. Our Betsey names two of her sons Abraham and Isaac, which are names of sons of Andrew and names of two of the PANCAKEs who show up in the early Lawrence Co., OH records.

Married 1) Mary, who died August 10, 1783, and was buried in St. Michael's graveyard at 5th and Cherry Streets.
