Re: Thomas H. Rosser
Kari, Alan, Rosser is in my book "Confederate Colonels" (U of MO Press, 2008). Thomas Henry Rosser was born March 15, 1818 in Petersburg, VA (per Owen; though an obit in the Atlanta Constitution says he was born in Fayetteville, NC, and he lists himself as born in NC on the 1860-1870-1880 censii), the son of Thomas H. Rosser. He died in a sanitarium in Selma 5-22-1897, and is buried in Live Oak Cemetery, Selma, D6, L332 east. He married Maria Louise Archer. He was a merchant in Petersburg, but in 1856 he led a group of Virginians to emigrate to KS. A druggist in Westport, and active (colonel in David Atchison's "army") in the "Kansas Troubles". Postwar he settled near Selma (where he'd been post commander during the war) and farmed. He was a distant cousin of General Tom Rosser. Bruce Allardice
