William J. rouse was the son of Nicholas Rouse and Margaret Ann (aka Isabella) Stringer.William's Grandfather Winston Stringer raised William and they went to Pulaski co., KY abt. 1889.William was living with Winston in the 1880 census of Grayson Co., Virginia. Margaret Ann was probably deceased by this time as Nick Rouse remarried to Ida Brown.William Rouse had a brother Phillip Rouse who is buried in Bluefield, WV and a sister or half sister Sarah (Sallie) Rouse Nunn who lived and died in Glade Spring, VA.
I always understood that Sarah (Sally) was William's younger sister but her descendants believe she was Ida Brown Rouses' daughter.Records show it could be either way.Nick and Ida Rouse are buried in the Old Glade spring Cemetery at Glade Spring, VA and also Margaret Ann's brother Thomas H. Stringer (my Grandfather) and his second wife Margaret Glossip Stringer are buried there.
I am in contact with William's Granddaughter in KY.If you will e-mail me I will share information with you.I also have a picture of Margaret Ann I will scan to you if you can receive it.
