GENEALOGY OF THE KEMPER FAMILY by Willis Miller Kemper, 1899, page 72 and 96 shows Rosanna ("Rosannah" in this source) was given as Susannah from another source to the author of the book.

Tombstone: "Rosanna, Wife of Martin Kemper - Died July 1, 1854, age 60 years." (NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: Either the tombstone was misread or incorrect, as the 1850 census shows she was born about 1780, which would be more accurate in relation to her marriage date.)
