  Father	Joseph Rose, ^,   b. 13 May 1776, {Fire Place (now Brookhaven), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY} ,   d. 1 Sep 1841, {Fire Place (now Brookhaven), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY}  (Age 65 years)
  Mother	Hannah Cobb, ^,   b. 25 Nov 1784, NY ,   d. 23 Apr 1855  (Age 70 years)
  Married	Y  [10]
  	[Are Joseph and Hannah Cobb Rose the parents of John S. Rose and William Brewster Rose? In 1850 Hannah was living in the household of John S. Rose, and of an appropriate age. William Brewster Rose was living next door, or nearby, in 1850. I've therefore tentatively shown Hannah as their mother. Surprisingly, I found no internet references to either of these probable members of an early prominent Hamlet family.]

The is a minor clerical error with this enumeration record. The household number has been aligned with the entry above John S. Rose's household, which therefore looks at first glance that Diadamia Hawkins was head of the household. She is properly associated with the previous household as a sister of Gordon Booth.
