Obituary for Anna Belle Roush
Mrs Annie Roush, who died in Letart. Ohio, a day or two ago, aged 106 years, and who was married in 1802, was the mother of thirteen children. They continued to multiply until at her death she left 2,000 descendants and a great-great-great grandchild.
OBITUARY: "Mrs. Annie Roush has died at Letart, a few miles from Parkersburg, W. Va., aged nearly one hundred and five years. It is thought, says the 'Washington Star', that she was the head of the largest family in the world and the only woman in this country who lived to see her sixth generation. Mrs. Roush was born at Morgantown, Pa., June 4, 1787, when Washington, Hamilton and Jefferson were planning the Constitution. Her father was David Sayre. In 1801 Mr. Sayre started west and settled above Pomeroy, on the Virginia side. Here he resided several years, finally moving up the river and crossing to where Letart now stands. In 1802 Annie married Henry Roush, and was the mother of thirteen children...."
