Based on the early census records I was able to locate, This is correct. Plus several children of William Rossiter & Melissa Rowland/Roland are listed on the 1925 IA state census and one of the questions they asked were name of parents.

Family Data Collection - Births
Name:        Isaac Rossiter
Father:        William Rossiter
Mother:        Melissa Jane Rowland (aka Roland)
Birth Date:        21 Dec 1860
County:        Clinton
State:        IA
Country:        USA

1870 IA, Clinton Co, Washington
Rossiter, William 47 bn England
, Melissa 30 bn Indiana
, Betsey 11 bn IA
,, Isaac 10 bn IA
, Charles 8 bn IA
, Jesse 6 bn IA (male)
, Henrietta 4 bn IA
, Matilda 2 bn IA

by 1880 IA, Clinton Co, Washington twp
indexed as Rossida,
They have addtl children....James by abt 1872 IA, and George bn abt 1877 IA.

If you go to Familysearch.org there is a very detailed listing for this family group. Just imput William Rossiter and Melissa Rowland.

Also there are several Trees on
Rootsweb.com
Again the wife's maiden name is sometimes spelled ROWLAND & also ROLAND. For this index imput: Rowland (and select soundex) no given name....then for spouse imput William Rossiter........this should bring them up.

Rossiter, Ike 33 bn Clinton Co, IA
, Emelia 25 bn Germany
, Henrieta 5 bn Clinton Co, IA
, William 3 bn Clinton Co, IA (1910 John W.)

1900 IA, Clinton Co, Waterford
Henrieta becomes ETTA
and they now have Ethel bn May 1897

1910 & 1920 they are in IA, Mahaska Co, University Park
with Iona G bn 27 jul 1903
Helen N. bn abt 1912 in Mahaska Co, IA

Of interest is that Iona G. Rossiter is listed twice on the 1920 IA, Mahaska Co census....once with her widowed Mother and once alone, working at the Mahaska County Hospital as a Nurse. Iona G. Rossiter traveled abroad and although it appears to be the same 'trip' it is indexed twice. Both with the same exact birth date & both living in University Park, IA.
