Anyone know what is up with this guy's birthplace? The first page of Google hits gives Delaware City, Kingston,and Little Taylor Run, Ohio. -Hephaestos 02:18, 24 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Rosecrans sounds like a German name. Has anybody data about his ancestry?
William's mother was Jemima, not Jane, and she was _not_ descended from Stephen Hopkins perhttp://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=Search&surname=hopkins&father=hopkins&spouse=crandall+rose*Ron Bauerle [rdbauerle@juno.com] 2-October-2009—Precedingunsigned comment added by173.69.111.236 (talk)16:50, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The location of the monument is correct. The name was Dutch, not German.
As one of his living relatives from Delaware, County, Ohio I have to say that we are very proud of him.
The small rural county sent more than 2500 volunteers to the war. He was the highest ranking.
But we still don't understand the conversion from Methodism to Catholicism and from the Whigs to Democrats.—Precedingunsigned comment added by65.24.29.59 (talk)04:34, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article's introduction contains this sentence:
He was briefly considered as a vice presidential running mate for Abraham Lincoln in 1864 but the telegram correspondence Rosecrans sent back to Washington that stated his interest, was intercepted by Stanton, who buried the message. As a result, Lincoln never received his response and began looking for other candidates.
This is contradicted somewhat later:
During the 1864 Republican National Convention, his former chief of staff, James Garfield, head of the Ohio delegation, telegraphed Rosecrans to ask if he would consider running to be Abraham Lincoln's vice president. The Republicans that year were seeking a War Democrat to run with Lincoln under the temporary name of "National Union Party." Rosecrans replied in a cryptically positive manner, but Garfield never received the return telegram. Friends of Rosecrans speculated that Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, intercepted and suppressed it.
Since this is only speculation, not fact, I suggest that the sentence in the introduction that claims this as fact be deleted.TH1980 (talk)03:38, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
