Roswell K. BOURNE
(18 Dec 1812 - 23 Jun 1866)
Events
| Extra information | 1812 | I have spent years looking for Roswell's parents. It is clear that his parents were out of the picture by about 1833. Thus, Joseph is a possibility, especially based on the proximity of Roswell to Josephs's other kids. | |||

| Residence | 1833 | Student. Also documents his marriage and death. - Cazenovia, Madison, New York, USA | | ||
| Education | 1833 | Roswell attended the Cazenovia Academy in 1833. I believe the school charged tuition, so Roswell's parents had some money. Same comment applies to Elizabeth Bourne (sister?) who went to Cazenovia in 1851. - Cazenovia, Madison, New York | |||
