I have had the same problem as yourself for many years now. Most of the info i have is copied from a family bible that belonged to my 2nd great grandparents Jacob and Anna Rouse. My grandmother had this book and sent me a handwritten copy of what it had in it. All dates I have checked out so far are correct on my Belles side of my family. (Anna's maiden name). After my grandmother died the book was nowhere to be found. Therefore I have no way to tell if she accurately copied the info. At an advanced age I fear that there could be errors. Perhaps not (she was sharp).

I have alot of other info on each of these individuals and their offspring. Census', etc. I have three letters written to Jacob B. Rouse concerning a relatives estate in Oil City, Pennsylvania. He was inquiring about oil found on the land of a Henry Rouse who died lighting a cigar to celebrate his find. The three letters do not state what the relation is between Jacob and Henry but does state that if he chose he might be able to collect some of the monies used to maintain a local parish church in Rouseville. I wonder if the Pennsylvania archives would have the actual letters Jacob wrote? I am not that fresh on U.S. research and dont know what resources exist. The actual letters may state his direct relation to Henry. What branch are you from? I have other info about the individuals, some good some bad if later interested.
Henry
