Misc. Notes
Listed variously as Roxie, Rockey, Roxana, and Roxelinia, Roxslena, etc.
Most of the records list her surname as McCune, although some show her as Roxie McCune Sease, in reference to her step-father Benjamin Sease.
She is listed with her mother Hannah (28, PA) and step-father Benjamin Sease in 1860 as Roxslena (4, PA), in spite of having Stephen Nutt appointed as her guardian earlier that year; but he was living nearly next door.
She is still listed as Roxana Seace (14, PA) in 1870, working as a domestic for the Lanehart family, and going to school.
By 1880 she was married to William Hyatt (23, PA) a laborer, and is listed with him as Rockey (23, PA). He apparently died young before the 1900 census.
Listed as Roxana A. Hyatt (Feb 1862, PA), widowed and working as a housekeeper for Helen Jacobs in the 1900 census. With her is daughter Wilda Hyatt (Jan 1884, PA).
In 1910 she is listed as Roxy Hyatt (48, PA), widowed and head of household, with her daughter Wilda (26, PA) and a boarder.
Her name on the death certificate is Roxanna Heyatt, with information provided by Sarah Hyatt. It lists her birth as 2 Feb 1863, which is not possible, as her father died before 1860 - unless they were only divorced.
She died of influenza in Brownsville.
