About Rebecca Allen

Married to (1) Robert Rose and (2) Henry Allen Sr.

Rebecka Rose, the wife of Robert Rose, testified vpon oath that she heard " --- How sweare by God, and as she is a Christian, and by her faith, and by her Soule, and that she sawe her turne ouer a !cafe of the bible, and said it was not worth reading, and one time her mother called her and she said, a pockes of ye devill what ayles this madd woman.". (testimony in court held at New Haven (Anc. Town Rec., vol. 1, p. 89) on 7 Oct. 1651)

Though Robert Rose had a large family and many grandchildren, it is to be noted that there are no male Rose descendants of this family. There were 8 children recorded in Stratford Vital Records:

  1. Mary Rose b. 20 Apr. 1655 (as rec. Stratford VR, hut 15 Apr. as rec. Branford VR), m. Moses Johnson
  2. Rebecca Rose was born on 14 Jul 1657 in Stratford, Fairfield, CT. She died on 19 Jan 1728 in Stamford, Fairfield, CT.
  3. Elizabeth Rose was born in Feb 1658 in Stratford, Fairfield, CT. She died in 1740.
  4. Dorcas Rose was born in Apr 1661 in Stratford, Fairfield, CT. She died in 1741.
  5. Sarah Rose was born in Aug 1664 in Woodbury, Litchfield, CT. She died in 1731 in Woodbury, Litchfield, CT.
  6. Hannah Rose was born on 15 Mar 1666 in Stratford, Fairfield, CT. She died in 1742.
  7. Mercy Rose was born on 3 Mar 1672 in Stratford, Fairfield, CT. She died in 1742.
  8. Robert Rose IV was born about 1674 in Stratford, Fairfield, CT.

Rebecca, the wife successively of Robert Rose and Henry Allen was previously connected as a daughter of Thomas Sherwood of Fairfield. All trusted secondary sources call her Rebecca Unknown. Extensive research has failed to find any evidence that she was the identical with the Rebecca Sherwood born in 1622. She has been disconnected, until proof is found as to her identity.
