In Reply to: Frank W Rossiter & Mary E Dyer by Kevin Finn of 23752

Hi Kevin,

From LDS:

John Trewick Rossiter
Birth: 8 Mar 1833, Teignemouth, Devonshire, England
Death: 9 Sep 1916, Northport, Waldo, Maine
Father: James Rossiter
Mother: Catherine Trewick
Spouse: Rebecca Crosby Ames
Marriage: 15 Sep 1861, North Haven, Knox, Maine

Rebecca Crosby Ames
Birth: 2 Nov 1828, North Haven, Knox, Maine
Death: 16 Nov 1900, Northport, Waldo, Maine
Father: Hezekiah Ames
Mother: Sally Scofield

Here's another marriage for Frank. I see them in 1930.

Maine Marriage:

Groom's Name: Rossiter Frank W
Groom's Residence: Vinalhaven, ME
Bride's Name: Pierce Lurana S
Bride's Residence: Vinalhaven, ME
Marriage Date: 8 Jul 1920
Certificate: 0

Groom's Name: Rossiter Frank W
Groom's Residence: Vinalhaven, ME
Bride's Name: Smith Lurana S
Bride's Residence: Vinalhaven, ME
Marriage Date: 8 Jul 1920
Certificate: 0

Smith is her maiden name. In 1910, she is married to H. Burton Pierce. It's the first marriage for both, being married for 12 years. She is 41 & has had no children. In 1920, she's 52 & widowed, no children.

Here's another marriage for John. He always uses a "T", so is assume the "A" is wrong.

Maine Marriage:

Groom's Name: Rossiter John A
Groom's Residence: Northport, ME
Bride's Name: Ames Priscilla C
Bride's Residence: Northport, ME
Marriage Date: 30 Nov 1901
Certificate: 0

In 1910, I see John & Priscilla. It's his 2nd marriage & her 1st, married 8 years. She is 67. I also see her in 1850. Her parents are Hezekiah & Sally. At the end of the household is 21 year-old Rebecca Mathews. I think this is Rebecca Ames & that she was married prior to marrying John.

1880 (From LDS)

Source Information:
Census Place Northport, Waldo, Maine
Family History Library Film 1254489
NA Film Number T9-0489
Page Number 414D

The 1900 census shows that Rebecca has had 6 children, 4 of which are living. 28 year-old "Edward" is with her & John. The census also shows that John immigrated in 1860. The 1910 shows 1862, which can't be right if he & Rebecca were really married in 1861.
