Hi Jacki-
I have seen your comments on the message boards and I have seen your tree. (my sister in
law is kind enough to allow me to use her account for my tree so my name may not be
showing up?) I am not sure who Rosetta's parents were.Recently I did see on a census
that there was a wilson family that lived next door to Peter & Emeline but there were
other children listed not Rosetta.
My mom is a Painter, and that is the side of the family I grew up with, my grandfather
and I were very close, you would think I would have better luck finding info on the family
but no! lol I am getting frustrated. Rumor has it that my Grandpa's mom Goldie did not
get along with my gg grandma Planity (which is how she refers to herself in the family
bible although she appears to have gone by "Elizabeth" when Jacob was still
living) and my gg Grandpa Sam died when my Grandpa Jack was young (and he would never talk
about him) so other then his brothers & sister he didn't seem to have contact with
other Painters. ( I assume that my G Grandma Goldie kept her kids from their grandmother
because of the discord between them) Grandma Goldie use to make reference to there being
"indian blood" in the family but no facts are known. I can only assume at this
point that possibly Emeline's mother or father had native american heritage? There was
the Painter family in VA who were attacke!
d and some taken captive by natives , possible that one of the children taken had a baby
while being captive, but those Painters were from Germany and my family stories have been
that we are English so this seems an unlikely connection.
I have so many road blocks that sometimes I want to give up. I have nothing on
Planity's parents or when g Grandpa Sam came to Michigan.
I have searched everything I can think of to find Peter's parents and also Emelines. I
have seen on a few of the census that there is a John Brown as a neighbor and he is the
right age to be a possible father to Emeline. Peter's parents are like ghost,
haven't found anything. The "Charles" that shows up when you search has
nothing to support the link. I have even tried starting from the earliest Painters
arriving in America from England trying to find a path that connects Peter to
someone...still nothing!! So please keep me posted if you ever find any additional info.
My email is trinity1_48706@yahoo.com..I am also on facebook if you want to find me we can
keep in contact that way also...Ann Reed
