RE: Was John Surratt engaged to Miss Roose?
I found the news snippet that I remembered. It's from the April 21, 1865 Evening Star and reads, "This morning Officer J. V. Grant served a summon upon a young lady named Anne Mitchell, the said-to-be betrothed of Suratt [sic], and carried her to the police headquarters for examination."

A nearly identical snippet appears in the Constitutional Union on April 22, 1865. I wonder if the young lady was actually Annie Ward, although I doubt she and John were involved.
