The family name is found only in Essex & Herts Cos.
The earliest mention yet found is in 1545 when John
Rouscoue, alein, assessed 3s4d of goods at Great
Cunmow. Co Esex is subsidy of 37 Henry VIII. This
is about 10 miles Eaast of Sawbridgeworth & some
distance North of Chelmsford. This name was probably
of Flemish or Dutch origin and probably the family
came to England in the 16th Cy. when there was
considerable Huguenot immigration from the the
English channel.

factual evidense, conserving this family
I would be pleased to get them.
