• Prefix	Captain
  Birth	Abt 1797  [2]
  	He was age 24 at his death.
  Gender	Male
  Living	Bellport, Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [1]
  Died	31 May 1821	{Fire Place (now Brookhaven), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY}   [2]
  Buried	Brookhaven (Oaklawn Cemetery), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [2]
  	His memorial stone is among Rose family members in the old Rose plot at the cemetery. Since his death was long before the establishment of the Oaklawn Cemetery in 1890, he was buried elsewhere (probably the defunct Rose family cemetery that was said to exist near the Brookhaven Free Library). While it is said that only the stones were moved, footstones are present suggesting that the remains may also have been moved.

• Headstones		#021.068.Rose09. Captain Charles Emmons .. first interred at the former Rose/Swezey cemetery at Library lane & Beaver Dam road, and removed here by James H. Post. Status: Located Plot: 068. J. H. Post
  		#021.068.Rose00: Rose family plot. .. all the persons at this lot were first interred at the former Rose/Swezey cemetery at Library lane & Beaver Dam road, and removed here by James H. Post. Post owned the property on Beaver Dam road in Brookhaven, NY, and intended to donate the site to the Brookhaven Free Library for a community library. Before he could do so, he had to relocate the little Rose family cemetery. The library's founding date is officially given as 1912, however the building was not erected until 1926; therefore this is likely about the date that the graves were moved here. Status: Located Plot: 068. J. H. Post
