His date and place of birth are not known, but it seems likely that he was born ca 1695.
If he was born 1695, his birth date marked the commencement of construction of the first building of the College of William and Mary at Williamsburg, VA. This example of Georgian architecture was reputedly designed by Sir Christopher Wren,e designer of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Two years after his birth Massachussetts enacted a law providing that anyone denying the divine nature of the Bible, could be imprisoned, confined to a pillory, whipped, or have his tongue bored through with a hot iron.

Quoting further:
At a Court held for King George County the 5th day of March 1735/6.
The last will and Testament of Richard Rosser, Dec'd was presented into Court by Sarah Rosser, his executrix who made oath thereto and the same was proved by the oaths of William Somerton and William Kelly and admitted to record."

It is noted that the testator gave one sheet to each of his six children, and that his daughters Elizabeth and Rachel seemingly were not treated fairly in that they were not given a sheet as was the case with their siblings. Perhaps each ofm already owned a sheet and thus their father saw no need to give them an item which they did not neet. In any event, it is interesting to speculate on the reasoning of the father in this instance.
The late eminent genealogist, George Harrison Sanford King, who compiled and published "King George Virginia Will Book A-1 1721-1752" (1978) in his Preface to the book said (in part):
"While the practice was unusual, yet there are instances where testators mentioned their daughters by their Christian names only, although they were married women. This was a manner to vest the bequeathed property solely in the name of the d daughter as tho she was femme sole (a single woman). Richard Rosser of Hanover Parish by will dated 12 Jun 1735 mentions his daughter Rachel, but she was married 31 Jan 1732 to John Jackson by the Reverend David Stuart in St. Paul's Parish, Stafford County."
It would appear that Richard Rosser had something less than full confidence in his son-in-law.

Notes:

"The Wigfield & Nelson Families, Chapter XiV, The Rosser Family": John Rosser, a son of Richard and Sarah Rosser, was born ca. 1726, probably at his parents home on Cedar Run, then located in Prince William Co, VA. He was the great grandfather of Ann E. Nelson, who married Thomas Smith Wigfield.
"The year of his birth marked the publication of the first edition of "Gulliver's Trvels" by Jonathon Swift, the British satirist and clergyman. It is considered by many to be the greatest satire in the English language. In the year followg his birth, George II became King of Great Britain and Ireland.
"A special election was held in Jan 1752 in King George Co to fill a vacancy in the House of Burgess created by the dath of the incumbent. The list of those voting, the names of the candidtates, the names of the candidates for whom each voter st his vote and the results of the election are recorded in Deed Book 3, pgs 467-470, King George Co. In that election John Rosser is shown to have voted for Charles Carter, Sr., and Anthony Strother. The polling place was in the Court House, then located near Port Conway. John Rosser must have been a public spirited man to have made the journey from his home on Deep Run (now in Fauquier Co) to Port Conway, a distance of at least 75 miles, in order to cast his vote.
"John Rosser and Mary Neaville, daughter of Capt George Neavill and Mary Gibbs, were married (probably in King George Co, VA) ca 1753. He died in Fauquier Co, VA between 6 April 1783, the date he executed his will, and 23 June 1783, the date e will was admitted to probate. She died in the same county in 1796.
The will of John Rosser, which was recorded in Will Book 1 at pg 742 of Fauquier Co, VA probate records is quoted in full:
April the 6th, 1783, Fauquier. In the name of God, Amen,
I, John Rosser, of the County aforesaid, being sound in memory, but unwell in body, doth make this my last will and testament.
ITEM: I lend my whole estate, both real and persona, to my wife during her life or widowhood, but in case she marries it is then my desire she shall be thirded. After her death, I give to my two sons, Richard and George my lands lying on Rahonnock where my son Richard now lives, to be equally divided, but it is my desire that George shall have the part that has a mill seat on, and in case either of them shall ever offer it for sale that it shall be forfeited and the property vested in the other son;
ITEM: I give to my sons, John and William, my tract6 of land whereon I now live, to be equally divided but it is my desire that William shall have the part whereon the houses (two words illegible) and in case either of them should offer it r sale it is my desier that the other son shall claim his part as the land above.
