given as Virginia and that's what my uncle, his great-grandson, who'd
never seen any of those, also said. Christine Rose (who has a Rose
family website) said that he was descended from William Rose of Surry
County, Virginia.
My doubts come in because a descendant of his daughter-in-law's sister
sent my a PDF file that gives his birthplace as North Carolina (in
1785). He died in Henry County, Indiana, where he had settled before
1835, on May 18, 1872.
The daughter-in-law is Sallie Byrket Rose, my great-great-grandmother
who married Elliott Rose, Jesse Rose's eldest son, Feb. 19, 1835 in
Henry County, Indiana.
The census records were Henry County, Indiana, and Gentry County,
Missouri, where Elliott and Sallie settled about 1866.
There were no sources listed for Jesse Rose in the file.
So I'm trying to figure out if he was born in Virginia or North
Carolina. No birthplace as given for his wife Mary Esther ELLIOTT,
daughter of Isreal ELLIOTT and Wilmet HODSON (as given in the file she
sent me and which makes sense given Jesse's eldest son's name).
Hope everyone has a profitable New Year.
