Beebe: She questions whether Rosalia is George's daughter. Rumor that Rosina was married to a Baily before her marriage to George and that Rosalia was by her first husband. Also to be noted is that Rosalia didn't come to Michigan with the rest of the family but stayed in Ohio with her grandmother, Olivia.⁴
