I do not know for sure the parents of Delia/Adelia/Della Burgomaster Rock. We believe it could be Michael and Maria/Mary A. Emch Burgomaster. The delayed births indicate Adelia was born in Wood County, Ohio. In the 1870 census, there is “M Burgomaster” residing in Lucas County, Ohio which is near Wood County, Ohio. With him is a daughter “D G Burgomaster” who is 2 years old. In the 1880 census, there is a Michael married to a Maria and they have a daughter listed as Antillia G. who is 11 years old. You may want to contact Wood County, Ohio and/or Lucas County, Ohio to prove or disprove this connection. The other thing you could do is contact the Ohio Health Department or the Cuyahoga County Health Department and request a copy of the death certificate for Delia/Adelia Rock. If the informant knew the information, Adelia’s parents should be listed on the death certificate
