Abraham Rosette (also spelled Rosett, Roset) and Susan Boylston are the 3rd great grandparents of my husband.

Abraham Rosette born 29 Jul 1780 in New York married Susan Boylston 30 May 1804 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  He was a Cabinet Maker.  They had four children: Almira, Eliza, Francis & Louisa.  Abraham died on 8 Apr 1815 in Elizabethtown, New Jersey.  His wife Susan never remarried and she died 23 Apr 1847 (location not verified).

They are both buried in the First Presbyterian Churchyard, Elizabeth, Union, New Jersey.  You can find their memorials here:

Susan #7965704

From the book Inscriptions on Tombstones and Monuments in the Burying Grounds of The First Presbyterian Church and St. Johns Church at Elizabeth, New Jersey, 1664-1892.”

There is still quite a bit of research to be done on this family.
