Citation Notes: 
Her entry int he find a grave database lists her DOB as 1833 but provides no pictures or records to back it up. However, this 1860 Minnesota Census lists her age as 20: https://www.ancestrylibrary.com/interactive/7667/4233356_00204?pid=45528976&backurl=https://search.ancestrylibrary.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?_phsrc%3DqpG138%26_phstart%3DsuccessSource%26usePUBJs%3Dtrue%26gss%3Dangs-g%26new%3D1%26rank%3D1%26msT%3D1%26gsfn%3Djames%26gsfn_x%3D1%26gsln%3Doakes%26gsln_x%3D1%26msypn__ftp%3DMinnesota,%2520USA%26msypn%3D26%26msypn_x%3D1%26msypn__ftp_x%3D1%26msbdy_x%3D1%26msbdp%3D5%26msbdy%3D1855%26catbucket%3Drstp%26MSAV%3D0%26uidh%3Dif4%26pcat%3DROOT_CATEGORY%26h%3D45528976%26dbid%3D7667%26indiv%3D1%26ml_rpos%3D3&treeid=&personid=&hintid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=qpG138&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true So it appears likely that Rosanna was born sometime before 1840, possibly 1833. The census also lists her birth place as Canada.
