Subject: [SCAIKEN] More Roton/Rotton/Rhoden/Rauton Death certificates
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2003 21:21:20 -0400

I am looking for connections of these surnames. If anyone is researching these
families, please get in touch. My g-grandmother was Hulda Eva Rauton m.
Charles Franklin Coursey as follows:

1 Charles Franklin COURSEY b: June 12, 1869 in Edgefield Co, SC d: April
16, 1932 in at home, Oak St., Greenwood, Greenwood Co., SC Burial: Magnolia
Cem, Greenwood, SC.
. +Hulda Eva RAUTON b: January 16, 1874 in Aiken Co., SC m: Abt. 1890 in
Probably Edgefield or Aiken Co, SC d: May 05, 1948 in Taylors, Greenville Co,
(Chick Springs) at the home of her daughter Burial: Magnolia Cem, Greenwood,
SC. Father: William S. (Roton) Rauton Mother: Elmina BURNETT

I am researching various Spellings because I find proven connections between
all of the above spellings except the Rhoden. not sure of that one yet.

1935 - Death Cert. # 19164, Newberry Co, SC
Gaylon K. Roten
White, Male, infant
b. Nov 30, 1935, Newberry Co, SC
father: B. R. Roten, SC
mother: Sudie Fulmer, SC
d. Dec. 22, 1935, Newberry Co, SC
cause: Brachiocardia; influenze
informant: B. R. Roten, Newberry, SC
burial: West End Cem.
UT: McSwain Funeral Home

This family most likely connects somehow to the Henry Dominick line which
includes Roton/Fulmer marriages. But I only have 2 pages copied from the book
on this family, and it is of the Mary Magdeline Fulmer m. Jesse Jackson Roton
line.

Jesse Jackson Roton is a desc. of the following parents:
William Smyly Rotton b. 1849 d.1903)[1850][1860][1870](m. Nancy E. Rambo (b.
1859 SC d. 1926)[d/o Sophronia Styron & Jesse Rambo]) Shiloh Meth Saluda SC
[extracted from the HC Ouzts Rauton file]

Need help to fill in the missing generation to make a connection

1951 - Death Cert # 15171, Saluda Co, SC
James Wiley Rhoden
White, Male, Married, Farmer & Painter SS#249-26-9873

cause: cerbro -vascular disease
informant: Mrs. J. W. Rhoden, Ward, SC
buried: Spann Cem, Ward, SC
UT: Joe E. Edwards, Johnston, SC

Can anyone help with this one. I have a possiblilty that might prove that this
family spelling is a variation and is connected to the earlier Rotton/and
present Rauton/Roton lines????

Charles Marion (Rotton) Rauton has a son Julian, but I have no further info. on
him. Could he be the father of the above James Wiley Rhoden, making a
connection of the two spellings into one family?

1 Charles Marion (Rotton) RAUTON b: Bet. 1846 - 1850 in SC
. +Carrie May Bell CROUCH b: June 07, 1866 m: Aft. 1880 d: January 26, 1902
