You might find more information at either of these sites or you might
wish
to link them to your site. Also, my contact email address is
slstan@bellsouth.net. There are some Rosser names listed on a cemetery
listing for Smyrna Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Conyers, GA. Some
of
them are the ones listed in my ancestry. I understand that the Rosser
family of Conyers, GA, Newton County, owned a dairy for which my dad
and
uncles worked at one time.
I hope some of this information has been helpful
