  Father	John Rose, Esq.† ^,   b. 10 Jan 1768, {Fire Place (now Brookhaven), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY} ,   d. 6 Jul 1826, Fire Place (now Brookhaven Hamlet), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY  (Age 58 years)

  	John Rose and Elizabeth Rose were of unrelated Rose lines. Elizabeth's father was Priest David Rose, pastor of the South Haven Presbyterian Church, who descended from Robert and Margery Rose of Wethersfield and Branford, Connecticut. John Rose was a son of Thomas and Deborah Rose, early settlers of Fire Place, who descended from Robert and Dorothy Rose of eastern Long Island. This marriage therefore joined two early Rose families. They had five sons. Mulford, the last, inherited the home on Beaverdam Rd., Brookhaven (formerly Fire Place), NY, which is still extent.
  Headstones		#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. Plot: 068. J. H. Post
