According to Birdie Speers, granddaughter, her middle name was pronounced Rosa Line. In her brother Marcellus' letter to his sister-in-law Malinda McCurry, he inquires after "Line's children". However, the name was spelled Rosalynn according
to Birdie.
It appears by all accounts that she had been previously married to a Brown. The first child, possibly 3 more children, were hers from that marriage. Birdie listed only 4 children belonging to Nathan and mentioned half-siblings but seemed a
bit confused as to the number.
Curiously enough, from the listing on the 1850 census, there might have been a prev. marriage for Nathan as well. Children listed seem to be as 2 separate families, i.e. ages:
Henry Elbert, 15; Mary M, 11; Christopher Col, 1; Lavina Jane, 4; and John Wesley, 2.
Normally children would be listed in order of birth. However, if one or other of the couple were giving the information, they probably would have listed their own children first, then steps. In this case, we know Henry Elbert was actually
Henry Albert Brown, therefore it is likely Rosalynn was providing the information, naming her children in order of birth; followed by her step-children. We did find a marriage record for a Mary Brown but as yet have made no connection. Of
Lavina and John there is no further record. Birdie did not seem to have much knowledge of the older children and only named C. C., R. A., Francis and Sophronia as children of Nathan.
According to Birdie's recitation of the family history, Rosalynn's mother passed away in Jefferson Co Ar in 1839 followed shortly after by a daughter; grief drove the rest to leave the area within 2 years. Land records of her brothers,
Marcellus and Wm Jackson, place the family in Rusk Co by Dec 1841, verifying Birdie's account. It is not known for certain if Nathan and Rosalynn married in Jefferson Co or in Rusk Co; no record seems to exist.
