History
The Rosser family lived at Trehyddion, and later Penpicillion, in Llansteffan, Carmarthenshire. The family was resident in the parish of Llansteffan by the early 17th century. By 1763 William Rosser (died 1791) was residing at Trehyddion; he was married to Esther (died 1827), the daughter of John Edward of Llangynog, Carmarthenshire. As well as being a farmer and gentleman, William also appears to have worked as a mariner and coal merchant. They had five children, Hester (born c. 1778), Ann, John, Mary (1781-1851) and Jennet. In the early 19th century, the family moved from Trehyddion to Penpicillion.
