ROSE/MOSS/PERSINGER - I am looking for information regarding my
grandfather, Thomas Wesley ROSE born 08 May 1882 and died 03 Jul 1943 in
Monroe Co, WV. He was married 08 Mar 1923 in Peterstown, Monroe Co., WV
to Ella Mae PERSINGER born 31 Jan 1898, Ella was the daughter of William
PERSINGER and Rosa MOSS. However, I suspect that Thomas was married
prior to his marriage with Ella. He had the following children from the
first marriage: Foster, Nettie (married a Blackburn), Hattie (married a
Smallwood), Emmett, Minnie (married a Bailey), Leonard. The following
children he shared with Ella: Mary b 1919, Florence b 1921, Cecil b 1923,
Helen b 1930, Effie JoAnn b 1932, Paul b 1934, Ernest b 1939, and Carl b
1942. I understand that Effie JoAnn was born in Hemphill, WV on 25 May
1932. I do not have any information regarding Thomas' parents, sibs, or
previous wife. Nor do I have any information regarding the Persingers.
Can anyone help me? Any information about this family would be greatly
appreciated as I have hit a dead end with my grandfather.

ROSE/MOSS/PERSINGER - I am looking for information regarding my
grandfather, Thomas Wesley ROSE born 08 May 1882 and died 03 Jul 1943 in
Monroe Co, WV. He was married 08 Mar 1923 in Peterstown, Monroe Co., WV
to Ella Mae PERSINGER born 31 Jan 1898, Ella was the daughter of William
PERSINGER and Rosa MOSS. However, I suspect that Thomas was married
prior to his marriage with Ella. He had the following children from the
first marriage: Foster, Nettie (married a Blackburn), Hattie (married a
Smallwood), Emmett, Minnie (married a Bailey), Leonard. The following
children he shared with Ella: Mary b 1919, Florence b 1921, Cecil b 1923,
Helen b 1930, Effie JoAnn b 1932, Paul b 1934, Ernest b 1939, and Carl b
1942. I understand that Effie JoAnn was born in Hemphill, WV on 25 May
1932. I do not have any information regarding Thomas' parents, sibs, or
previous wife. Nor do I have any information regarding the Persingers.
Can anyone help me? Any information about this family would be greatly
appreciated as I have hit a dead end with my grandfather.
