Rous or Rouse is found in olden
times in England it is frequently
latinized TO Rufus.
Sometimes the name is spelled
Rowse, and Rowsell, a diminutive
Of this. is said TO have given Russell,
a much more common surname than
Rouse. The Norman form was lie
Roux and this is still found as a
surname in France. According 70
one authority who seems to waive
the tradition that the Rouse family
came from Holland. the founder OF
the family was Ralph le Rufus or
Rous who went TO England from
Normandy with William the Con-
queror The name is usual in Corn
wall and Devon in England and 1t is
said that the early descendants Of
this Ralph le Rufus or Rouse set
tied in those colonies.
The Rouse family came here
from England. and there were prob
ably several of the name among
early colonists. John Rouse, born
in 1853, was a body servant OF Lord
Rosdon in South Carolina and es-
tablished his family in that colony.
