List of persons by
the name of Laurence ROSIER
(including name variations) in York & Adams Counties
Pennsylvania Records
Three Lawrence Rosers (Rose,
etc.) in York and Adams Counties have been identified thus far.
There were probably others.
Lorens
ROSER and wife, Susannah BRENNEMAN; his
parents were Adam & Anna Maria ROSER.
This Lorens left PA between 1831 and 1839, and went to Ohio,
then Indiana.
Lorentz
ROSER & wife Elizabeth; he was the son
of Adam and Catharine ROSER.
This Lorentz died in York Co. about 1830.
Lorence ROSER &
wife, Catharine, who sold land in 1842 in York, Co.
which was land they had obtained in 1830.
(Need the names of this Lorence's parents.
I'm hoping he is not the son of Lorentz and
Elizabeth;
that would mean the son, Lawrence, could not be my great great
grandfather.)

I am posting all the information I can find about any Laurence ROSIER, ROSER, etc., because I am trying to determine whether the Laurence ROSIER who arrived in Philadelphia in 1732 is our ancestor. I have begun with the Laurence Rosiers in Pennsylvania, and will be adding other states and lists for other given names from time to time. If you have ROSIER or ROSER, etc., information, please consider sharing it here. Send email to Linnie Howell at sysjer@telepath.com
