Birth16 Nov 1827 Rosannah E. McConnell was born on 16 Nov 1827.1 
Marriage19 Aug 1846 She married Col. James Lafayette Franklin Campbell, son of Capt David Campbell and Ann Ryburn, on 19 Aug 1846.4,2 
19 Aug 1846 She was 18 and he was 22. 
Cens-18501850 James and Rosannah appeared on the 1850 census enumeration for Washington County, Virginia, approximately 4 years after their marriage. Their 2 year old daughter Mary was also recorded that year.5 
  Rosanna gave birth to a total of 5 children, 3 of whom died as infants.6 
  One of the infants may have been a daughter who died in 1854 at 3 years of age. Her name was Jane E. Campbell. Washington County death records list her parents as James L. and Eliza/Elizabeth Campbell. Since Rosannah's middle initial was E. it is possible she was also known as Eliza/Elizabeth. However there existed another couple in Washington County who may be more likely candidates for Jane's parents. They were James L. Campbell and Eliza (Brown) Campbell. Both couples had gaps in the sequence of their children that would allow for a child born in 1851.7,8 
Death25 Feb 1859 Rosannah died on 25 Feb 1859 of fever at age 31.9,2 
Burial She was buried at Walnut Grove Cemetery in Washington County, Virginia.9
