Joe,
I have done a little bit of checking on Ernie Mapes and Gertrude Roseboom using the information you provided. It appears that there may have been 2 Gilbert Roseboom in updtate New York, our born in Feb. of 1849 and another one born in Oct. of the same year. Nice source for confusion there.
Our Gilbert seems to have moved to Allegany Co., NY before 1880 and had three children (according to the 1900 census), but I can only find names for two of them: Herbert (b.1879) and Gertrude (b. Nov. 1882). The third one is reported to be alive in 1900, but not listed with the rest of the family.
The 1900 census indicates that Gertrude's full name may have been Myrtle Gertrude. And the 1900 census seems to really try to confuse by having what appears to be as a double listing for Gertrude (or Myrtle Gertrude). One with her parents (Gilbert and Minnie) with no other children (ED 30, p. 9A) and apparently with her brother, Herbert, and living in a household with Selina Finch (ED 30, p. 5A). I am not going to persue that one.
Harry Seachrist's parents were Ross Seachrist and Mary Ritz.
I will have other Mapes queries in due course.
