Hi Stretch, It has been a long time since we corresponded. Glad to hear you are on FB--I am, too. I have lost track of what is happening with Rousseau Cousins. How can I get back in touch? I just returned from five weeks of research in London.
All the best,
Marilyn

Greetings Cousins,
I'm on facebook: Stretch Ruso
I have a few RousseauCousins as friends there already. Look for me on facebook if you like.
I don't like it BUT-- My telephone company has pushed me into getting a new e-mail address. It is searcher3@... . It will probably be installed this Wednesday. If in doubt, use both my addresses for a week or so.
The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette April 25, 2009
http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20090426/LOCAL06/904269972
Longtime Allen County official Ed Rousseau has died
Ed Rousseau, a longtime Allen County office holder who spent the majority of his
adult life in an elected office has died. He was 76.
For years, Rousseau was considered the Allen County commissioner to be reckoned
with.
Rousseau, a Republican, played a major role in several of the county's biggest
undertakings, including establishing the income tax and bringing GM to Fort
Wayne and the renovation and expansion of Memorial Coliseum.
When the county was debating the addition of an income tax, many were fiercely
against it, but not County Councilman Rousseau. In front of a screaming mob,
Rousseau decided he was going to give his side of the story.
"Through the whole talk, they were yelling and shouting and throwing pieces of
paper," he told The Journal Gazette when he retired as county commissioner in
2004. "Anybody that stood up to that situation either was nuts or had a good
idea of what they stood for. I was armed and had all the facts. I would take on
anybody."
Working hard was Rousseau's lifelong mantra.
"I've worked at getting it right, get all the facts," he said in 2004. "Then
it's a matter of you've got to go around and convince people. You're not going
to be loved by everybody, (but) you've got to be right."
Politics was never Rousseau's ambition. His father owned a DeSoto-Plymouth
dealership in Fort Wayne that Rousseau took over after graduating from Indiana
University and serving in the Army in Germany during the Korean War. He ran the
family business until the DeSoto line ended. He then went into real estate and
was the first manager of Glenbrook Square.
Politics came to him, however, in 1963 when Rousseau noticed a former classmate
from North Side High School was running for Fort Wayne City Council. Rousseau
remembered the classmate had been kicked out of another school and transferred
to North Side, so he signed up to run against him.
During his eight years on the council, he helped launch the Public
Transportation Corp. and the Metropolitan Human Relations Commission, which
investigates discrimination complaints.
After losing his seat on city council, Rousseau ran for Allen County Council and
won. It was during his 14 years on the county council that he pushed for the
county option income tax and helped bring GM to Fort Wayne - a move that he
considers his biggest accomplishment.
"Harvester left and 26,000 people were unemployed in the county," he said in
2004. "When that was announced, everyone's heart started beating again. That
essentially revived our economy."
In 1988, Rousseau sought a new office - county commissioner.
During his 16 years in the office, he found money for the Airport Expressway and
worked to improve the Coliseum.
When he retired from elected office, he was presented with the Sagamore of the
Wabash, which was then Indiana's highest honor.
"I ain't that good," Rousseau said during his retirement party in 2004. "I've
been given credit for more than I've done."
After he retired as commissioner, he weighed in on the city's Harrison Square
project and served for a short time on the Convention and Tourism Authority. In
the time since his retirement from elected office, Rousseau has also served on
the Local Government Efficiency Study Committee and has served on the Plaza
Parking Garage Board.
Rousseau battled small-cell carcinoma, a type of incurable lung cancer, for
years, but he didn't let it get in the way of being involved in civic life.
He was also a sports fan. In high school, he played football. And as an adult,
he sponsored a Fort Wayne Senior League slow-pitch softball team named Rousseau.
Services for Rousseau are pending with D.O. McComb & Sons Funeral Home.

Just wanted to say hi...and family-type love to everyone on this list!! Doing well in Austin, TX [i.e., despite severe allergies!] and keeping you all in my prayers. Hope everyone is doing well-- any news to share?
Peace and blessings,
Cherilyn, descendant of Rev. William Crain and up through that line
Is Carolyn Lemons here on this list? If so, please email me.
If there are any others of you here who are descended from Alexander H. Rousseau and Catherine Camilla Beard, please email me. I have a query from a descendant of these 2. I'll forward her email to the group if I hear from her again and with her permission.
I spoke to Verna on Friday night and the nurse feels that Jerry may only have another three to four days. Verna is taking it day by day and giving Jerry the best care possible for him to be comfortable, but I know Verna is not getting enough rest for herself. I will be calling her later today.

Thanks for the update. Verna was pretty much the person who got me started with all this Rousseau research. We corresponded for many years and met once in the summer of 92. Since then we trade email about once each year.

Here's what i have on your ancestor David, son of John "Jack" Alexander Rousseau and Sally Buster. I'll send another email with a Family Group Sheet.
John "Jack" Alexander Rousseau and Sally Buster had a son, Dr. David Hilaire H. Rousseau who married Sarah Elizabeth Ray and Lydia McCoy. Here's what I've collected on him.
Jack and Sally, David's parents, had a boarding school on the north bank of the Cumberland River in Mill Springs, KY. 3 boys became doctors and 1 lawyer, Elijah, practiced in CA. The school was on the north side of the Cumberland River in Kentucky and on the east side of White Oak Creek where it joins the Cumberland R. (We visited the area in spring 2002. The river has been dammed, and we think the land where the house stood may be under water. We got close to the site at White Oak Creek, we think.
The school was for boys and girls. But at some point he had a girls school.
We think they came down the OH river on flatboats to KY.
They owned slaves.
DR. DAVID HILLAIRE ROUSSEAU
Dr. Moved to Iowa. His brother, Dr. Wm Henry Harrison Rousseau lived in IA also
Children:
Edward b 1848 Lee Co.., IA
Howard b 1850 “
Sarah Elizabeth b 1852 “
John Joseph b 1854 “
Hiram b 1855 Marion Co., IA
Lucy Ann b 1858 “
Mary Jane b 1860 “
Laura b 1862 “
Mary and Laura living with Hiram in 1880 census. Widow Sarah also living there, as David died in 1870 when she still had children living at home.
He remarried in 1884 to Lydia McCoy on Dec 25, 1884, Marion Co., IA
Don’t kow of other children.
Returned to IA after the Civil War and died there.
Could you write to me exactly what your grandmother wrote about the Rousseaus? I had SC, but not NC, so that's interesting. My husband's mother is our Rousseau. I'm collecting family stories about Hillaire. Thank you so much!

Hello Cousins,
Below is a query I received from some previously unknown cousin. If any of you are descended from or familiar with the line of John Rousseau & Sally Buster perhaps you can help him. If so, please include me and the RousseauCousins group in your reply. His email address is below. I will send him an invitation to join the RousseauCousins group.
My name is Chris Glasgow and I have been researching the Rousseau line. I keep coming across information that you have provided and have used much of it. I was hoping that you would be able to assist me with filling in a gap for a relationship that I believe is accurate but have no verification.
It is regarding the children of John Rousseau, b. 1782, d. 1870 married to Sarah Buster.
I have traced my line to a David H. (Hillaire?) Rousseau, b. ABT 1818 in KY, d. 28 OCT 1862 in IA married to Sarah Elizabeth (Ray?). They had children:
Edward b. 1848, d. 1886
Howard, b. 1850, d. 1886
Sarah Elizabeth b.1852, d. 1940 (this is my line and I have additional info if needed)
John Joseph, b. 1854, d. 1873
Hiram H., b. 1856
Lucy Ann, b. 1856
Mary Rousseau, b. 1860, d. 1890
Laura, b. 1862
Much of the other researchers believe that the David born to John and Sarah Buster died as a young child, but I believe that is not the case. Your research is the only that I have come across that shows him dying inIowa.
In addition, I have a written history from my Grandmother (David was her great grandfather) that states David was related to Hillaire Rousseau fromN. Carolina. Finally, According to the 1860 census and 1856Iowacensus he was living near James A. Rousseau, b. 1812 who married Sarah Jane Daglish, b.1815 and for whom extensive documentation exists.
I believe that James and David were brothers born to John Rousseau and Sarah Buster but have been unable to find any solid verification that connects my David Hillaire Rousseau to John Rousseau and Sarah Buster. I have put the line together back to Hillaire Rousseau and Elisabeth Lynton based on David actually being the child of John Rousseau and Sarah Buster and therefore verifying this assumption would be fantastic.
I was hoping that you could provide some assistance. I appreciate you taking the time to consider this request and would be grateful for any insight that you may provide.
My best,
Chris

That wasn't it, but thanks for sending me the link. The link I was talking about were LDS church family search sites. I tried to link it but the link takes you to the main search page.
It wasn't exactly Rousseau related (although they were descendants), but was like a chart. You clicked on one relative's name, it led back to their parents, and so on. I didn't know who this guy was who inputed some of hte information, and that interested me.

Hey everyone. I was playing around on the Family Search web site and came across some detailed information that I was surprised to see on there. It had the name of the submitter, and I didn't know if that person was related or a volunteer? Anyone have any experience with that web site or know of Jeff Lippold? He was the submitter of record.
And just so you can play along with who is related to who, I'm a descendant of Lucy Crain (daughter of Sarah Rousseau)

And just so you can play along with who is related to who, I'm a descendant of Lucy Crain (daughter of Sarah Rousseau)

I actually was trying to find my grandmother's father's side of the family, McKeehen, when I came across pages with my grandmother's name, then her parents, then going back a bit. I am just surprised to find this information on here by someone I don't know. Who would take the time to input this, unless they're a family member or volunteer? I don't know much about the LSD family search info.

Have you any other information about Elizabeth and Benjamin Rousseau, other than dates and place? I'm not of that line, but interested in this statement: Hillaire’s daughter Eliz. married Benjamin Wooten. His will indicated that Elizabeth was the daughter of Hillaire Rousseau who was the son of Theodore Rousseau. The will is missing; only copies remain. Thanks. Linda
