It sounds like we are dealing with the same relative.I have a Joseph Rouse, wife Mary, who was my 3x-great grandfather.Joseph was born circa 1793 in Georgia.Children: son (name unknown) circa 1813; another son circa 1815; another son, Joseph B. Rouse Jr., Oct 1817; daughter Angeline 1821 (my ancestor).
I've located Joseph (Sr.) on the following census records:
- 1820 - Pulaski, GA
- 1830 - Houston, GA
- 1840 - Macon, GA
- 1850 - Macon, GA
- 1860 - Sumter, GA
He purchased 202-1/2 acres in Houston, GA in 1825; sold the same land in 1834.He sold over 1,000 acres in Macon, GA in 1858.
On the 1860 census, he had an Anderson family living with him:William, age 27; Sallie 20; Lucy J. 1.Wm. shown as "farmer labor".All born GA.
If you can make a connection, would love to exchange information with you.You may contact me off-list via email at: [email protected]
