General Notes: Husband - John Rossman

---

He was the eldest of his siblings, and during his boyhood he learned the weaver's trade.
In 1833, with his family, he started for East Germantown, Marion County, Indiana. The journey was made in covered wagons, the covers for which he wove, and they cooked their meals along the road and slept in the wagons. On arriving at his destination, Mr. Rossman was not pleased with the prospects; the climate did not agree with him, and in the following spring he was taken ill and died, and his remains were interred at East Germantown. In politics he was a Democrat.
At the death of the father, the mother was left with eight children to care for among strangers. Subsequently her father came for the family, and they returned to Pennsylvania, where she purchased a home near the junction in Nittany Valley, Centre County, and kept the two younger children with her, while the others were sent out to make their own way in the world.
