Was John Surratt engaged to Miss Roose?

[L Verge]

I have had several of the descendants tell me that John burned his papers because there were still people who could be hurt by what was in them. There is also a letter written by one of his children that says much the same thing about people shunning the family on the streets. In a way, I find this a tad hypocritical given Baltimore's "behavior" during the Civil War and the fact that the first attempt on Lincoln's life was supposedly planned for his trip through the city in February of 1861.
