I am still working on proving that these two Roswells are one and the same.
Any help out there?

The naming pattern of Roswell's children would indicate that Daniel was his
father. Eldest daughter Margaret Lucinda for sister, sons in the reverse
order of ancestry - Daniel - father, Samuel - grandfather, Joseph - gr
grandfather.
Daniel Owen Chapin was my gr grandfather. (And Linda Keller's ancestor,
too.)
