Do you have any listing for a Rosetta Aires? She was my great great grandmother. She was born in 1840 and died in 1934. She is buried in Red Warrior, Kanawha County, West Virginia. She was married to Joe Cox. I have no idea who her parents were. Their son, James Elbert Cox, was my great grandfather. He was born in Summers County, West Virginia in 1881. He died in 1957 in Kanawha. They had at least another child, Laura. She was alive as late as 1960.
James had at least four half-sisters, I don't know if they were through Rosetta or Joe. They appear slightly younger than Laura. So, it is possible that Rosetta and Joe divorced and he remarried. I know that when Rosetta was older, she stayed with James' family. My grandmother use to tell me stories about her. How they would pretend to beat their baby brother up and he was Rosetta's favorite. Then, she would give him all kinds of candy. He would, in turn, give the candy out to all the other children. Well, I hope you may have some information on Rosetta. In the back of my mind (my grandmother has been battling alzhiemers for nearly 15 years and is now in the final stages), I keep thinking that she told me that Aires was pronounced Ires. Is this true? Thank you,
