I have arrived at the same names that you are inquiring about but from the opposite direction.I have been researching the Hersee family for years and have just discovered the Rouse connections. So I can provide a lot of detail on the wifes side of the family.
Another posters provided some detail on the Hersee side of the family.Charles Rouse was married to Harriet Hersee, William Hersee's sister and James Rouse was married to Catherine Elizabeth Hersee whom, as you know, is William Hersee's daughter. Catherine was first married to Michael Upton who died at a young age.
James (b: 1815) and Harriett (b: Offham West Sussex England, chr: April 19, 1819 South Stoke, SSX, Eng) were married December 18, 1837 in a London Ontario Parish by Francis Pickle (Regular Baptist) and this family is listed in the 1852 Census at the following link:

You can see that the Census transciption of first names is poor. Joseph may have gone by "Hayton" at an early age?
Charles Rouse (b: Jan 1838 Blenheim Twp d: Nov 25, 1890 b: Princeton Cemetery) married Catherine Elizabeth Uption (Nee: Hersee) b: July 13, Burpham West Sussex Eng d: July 23 1911 b: Princeton Cemetery) October 8, 1863 in Toronto by Rev J. J. Grassett, Rector).They were first cousins.
To complete the family:
William Hersee Sr (b: May 5, 1804 Offham SSX Eng chr: Apr 6, 1806 South Stoke SSX England d: Feb 26 1871 b: Princeton Cem) married Ann Maria French (b: Jan 4, 1806 Yapton SSX Eng d: Apr 22, 1840 Blenheim Twp b: Princeton Cem)in Yapton West Sussex England on April 22, 1826.William immigrated to Canada in 1833 and most of his extended family followed him over the next few years - all taking up farms in Blenheim Township.
William and Harriett's parents were Charles Hersee and Jane.I can provide complete family details if you are interested.
