He is listed in census' with the following names/spellings:

Elias Rector Rosson
ER Rosson
ER Roeson
Elias R Rofson
ER Rofson

His pension application was originally denied as they could find no record. He produced two witnesses:

K. L Winton of Depew, Creek Co, OK
R. P. Barsten (or Barslen?) of Depew, Creek Co, OK.

Thank you for any help!

We believe his father was John E Rosson who joined the Confederates in Arkansas (he was a property owner in MO though). I haven't been able to tie John to the Indian Brigade though either.

Thank you again for any help!
