      Spouse of Bertha Upton (sister to Carolina) Odford King said they also had a set of twin brothers that died about one year of age. Their names as close as I can gather were Elliott and Alex. William left, and no one knew where he went. The rumor was William kidnapped Rosa when she was very young and hid her with gypsy's. Rumor or fact I don't know.
