About Rep. Robert Lawson Rose, U.S. Congressman
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Lawson_Rose
Robert Lawson Rose (October 12, 1804 - March 14, 1877) was a U.S. Representative from New York, son of Robert Selden Rose and son-in-law of Nathaniel Allen.
Born in Geneva, New York, Rose received limited schooling as a youth. He moved to Allens Hill, New York and engaged in agricultural pursuits. He held several local offices, and then was elected as a Whig to the Thirtieth and Thirty-first Congresses (March 4, 1847-March 3, 1851). Afterwards he resumed agricultural pursuits and returned to Geneva, New York. He subsequently moved to Pleasant Grove, near Funkstown, Maryland, in 1868, and engaged in the manufacture of paper until his death there. He was interred in Rose Hill Cemetery, Hagerstown, Maryland.

From the Geneva Daily Times, Geneva, N.Y., Friday, September 19, 1941, page fifteen: "Robert Lawson Rose, the fourth son of Robert S. Rose bad been for a short time a merchant in Geneva. His first advertisement appeared in the Geneva Palladium of Oct. 18. 1828, "nearly opposite the Square and next door to Col. James Bogart's bookstore, dry goods, hardware and 500 lbs. of clean wool." Later he purchased land at Allen's Hill and married Almira, the daughter of Major Nathaniel Allen. Robert L. Rose was an acknowledged leader of the old Whig Party, and its representative to Congress from Ontario Co. for two terms prior to 1861. He later moved to Texas and died in Hagerstown, Maryland in 1877. Of the three sons of this marriage only the second Robert Selden, my grandfather, can be counted among the Geneva group. His uncles John and Henry had married sisters, Jane and Sarah Macomb, nieces of Gen. Alex. Macomb, but there were no children of these marriages."
