The correct spelling of Edward Roseman, according to his gravestone is
"ROSEMAN." My family spells the name Rosman because that is the way Nancy Ann
Roseman Barcus spelled it when she named her first son Edward Rosman Barcus. I have seen
it spelled many ways, but assume it all relates back to the original Edward Roseman from
Ireland who was born in Leitrim, Ireland in 1770. He came to America in 1794. From other
things I've seen written, it appears that Nancy Ann Roseman Barcus did not know how to
spell which may explain why she misspelled her son's name.
