Home    Search    Print    Add Bookmark

• Suffix	† ^
  Birth	8 May 1769  [3, 4]
  	Her gravestone indicates that she was 65 at her death.
  Gender	Female
  Reference Number	CR 271  [5]
  Died	17 May 1834	{Fire Place (now Brookhaven), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY}   [3]
  Buried	Brookhaven (Oaklawn Cemetery), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [3]
  	Address: Lot 068
  	Her gravestone is found in the old Rose family plot at the Oaklawn Cemetery. Since her death was long before the establishment of the Oaklawn Cemetery in 1890, she 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.
  Notes	This marriage joins two previously independent "Rose" families -- the "Priest" David Rose family, the Revolutionary War pastor of the South Haven Presbyterian Church and the Thomas Rose family, reportedly the first permanent settler on Fire Place Neck.

  Married	26 Jul 1789  [1, 2, 6, 7]
  	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. Status: Located Plot: 068. J. H. Post
