  Family tradition holds that James S. McConnell did not approve of Rosanna's interest in David, who worked for the family. The couple left Virginia and settled in Greene County, Missouri, rather than neighboring Dade County where other relatives lived.2

Death18 Oct 1851 Rosanna died on 18 Oct 1851 in Greene County, Missouri, at age 23.1 

Research Comment:

I am not sure of the correct spelling for David's surname. The marriage record used Claman. The 1850 census used Clamans. However Rosanna's parents both outlived her, hence her son James J. received what would have been Rosanna's share of James McConnell and Barbara McConnell's estates. Both of those records spelled the name Clayman. Rosanna's son James died in Missouri in 1913. His death certificate also spelled the name Clayman.4,5,6
