Robert Rose, of Wethersfield & Branford

From HISTORY of THE COLONY OF NEW HAVEN To its absorption into CONNECTICUT by Edward E. Atwater

ROBERT ROSE was a native of Ipswich, Suffolk county, England. He and his wife, Margery, each aged forty years, with eight children, came in the ship Francis to Boston in 1634. He first located in Watertown, Mass., but better opportunities induced him to join the prioneer settlement in Connecticut, where he occupied "adventure lands" in Wethersfield. He had also an allotment of 312 acres. These circumstances gave him preeminence among the colonists, yet he appeared to have little ambition to be a ruler in temporal affairs as he filled but one public office, that of constable in 1639.

His name often appears in connection with Mr. Swaine and Mr. Plum, especially in affairs spiritual. his was a leading mind in the dissensions which led to the early disruption of that colony. His attitude in Branford was that of a worthy citizen aiding and adjucting the affairs of the community. He was liberal in his views, broad in his charaties, highly respected and venerated in his life and by succeeding generations. He was regarded as a very wealthy man, owning ten horses when there were not as many more in the town. He dispensed material aid to his less fortunate neighbors, giving the Sunday's milking to the poor, which was one instance of his beneficence.

He died April 4, 1665. His estate was valued at 616 pounds; 17s.

His Bible, printed in England, 1599, was for many generations in the possession of descendants, several of whom were deacons of the Congregational church. His legacy to the church of Branford was its first donation. In the geographical nomenclature of the town are found Rose's hill and Rose's brook, both adjacent to his estate.

From Robert Rose Family of Wethersfield and Branford, Connecticut and His Descendants by Christine Rose, Certified Genealogist, 1983

Robert1 Rose was born ca 1594, perhaps in England since he set sail there from Ipswich. He d. at Branford, Conn. sometime between 25-Aug. 1664 (date of will) and 4 Apr. 1665 (will presented in court of New Haven).

He m. 1st, before his entry into the Colonies, to Margery ---, b. ca 1594. Her identity is not known, nor her date of death, but she came in 1634 with her husband and eight children and had two children after their arrival. It is said that she died before 1644, though I find no supporting. records. Nothing is known of Margery beyond her name on the ship passenger list; her character, her parentage, all is lost to us.

Robert Rose m. 2nd, 1664, New Haven VR, Elizabeth ( ) Potter Parker, birth unknown, d. 28 July 1677, New Haven VR. She was the widow first of John Potter* by whom she had John, Hanna and Samuel Potter, and second of Edward Parker by whom she had John, Hope and Lydia Parker.

The second marriage of Robert Rose took place shortly after 7 June 1664 for on that date the widow Parker was about to leave New Haven "to change her condition" and desired to know the "mind of the Court" concerning her children's portions (Anc. Town Rec., vol. II, P. 90). They were married only a few months, for Robert died soon after.

Robert Ruse's second wife Elizabeth seems to have been a strong willed woman.. A court action June 1643 involved slander of "widow Potter- and Edward Parker by a Mrs. Br-A-Aster. It appears that for some reason the church elders did not approve of Edward Parker and had requested Mrs. Potter not to receive his attentions. Mrs. Brewster reported that "Mrs. Potter would not join the church because she would not give up Edward Parker.-

Elizabeth did marry him, and in Jule. 1646,

"Edward Parker and his wife presented their desires to the Court to inyest John Potter's two sons in the right of their father's land and house and declared themselves willing to bestow a heifer of a year old on Hannah and deliver it presently for her use..." James Shepard, "The New Haven Potters, Am. Gen., vol. 54, pp. 20-23).

Robert Rose came to America from Ipswich

Robert Rose came to America from Ipswich, Suffolk Co., England, in the ship "Francis" in 1634. !Family Records and Information **** 10/93 "Genealogical Dictionary of New England" by James Savage, V-3, Page 576. ROSE, Robert, Wethersfield 1639, but he went it is thought, from Watertown, came in the ship Francis from Ipswich, Co. Suffolk 1634, aged 40, with wife Magery, 40, and children (names children shown and ages) was constable 1640; Representitive 1641, 2, and 3: removed before 1648 to Stratford, where the list of freemen 1669 bears his name, unless it be of his son Robert, which is more probable, for one Robert (James, as Mr. Whitmore, in Genealogical register XIII, page 301, says), died at Branford, leaving good estate in 1664 or 5; and I judge the younger was among early settlers at Easthampton, L.I. 1650. ------------------------------------------------------------- Robert sailed from Ipswich, Suffolk, England in the ship Francis, 1634. He had with him his wife and 8 children. The names and ages are given on the ships list. He settled 1st in Watertown. He is not the Robert Rose who lived in Elmswell, Suffolk, Eng as he was still there in 1637. Robert was a proprietor of Watertown in 1636 and a soldier in the Pequot war in 1637. He soon moved to Wethersfield, Ct. In 1639, he had an allotment of 312 acres. His homestead was on the south side of Broad St. Robert was Deputy from Wethersfield to the Connecticut General Court 1641 to 1643. He was constable , 1640. He had moved to Branford, Ct by 1644, which was called Toloket. He was a widower. He was regarded as a wealthy man. There is a story that he always gave the sunday milking to the poor, which may be true as he was a religious man. In 1655, he was one of the largest proprietors in Branford. His will dated Aug 25, 1664 bequeathed to all his living children and left money to the Congregational Church of Branford. The will was proved April 4, 1665 and the inventory of his estate amounted to 826 pounds. This Ro bert is not the settler of Long Island who was there 1643 and beyond. from; American Genealogist v39, p207 Jacobus, Ancient families of New Haven Ancient Wethersfield, Ct Sumner, Ancestry of Amaziah Hall and Betsy Baldwin
