As enslave was listed and mentioned persons with the name Rose in the Plantation Book:

• Rosanna in 1850, 1854, 1857, 1860 Mary Jones gave to her son William Jones a tract of land and four people: Phillis, Chloe, Rosannah & Paul in 1836. [Not clear whether this is this Rosannah or if she was known as Rose] [5]

• Rose in 1843, 1850 Named in Cornelia Jones Pond memoir, A Rose belonging to William Jones (not clear which one) was a member of North Newport Baptist (now First African Baptist) in 1846.
• Rose (Little/Young) in 1845, 1848, 1851
• Rose (Old/Big) in 1846, 1849, 1850, 1852
• Rose LeConte (Old) in 1853, 1856, 1859 - Rose bought at auction by William Jones from estate of Lewis LeConte in 1853. [8]
  • [8] On March 23, 1853, Thomas C. Nisbet, administrator of the estate of Lewis LeConte, sold to William Jones for “the following negro slaves viz. John Recca [alt: Rakey or Raka], Frank, Jane, Phillis, Polly Fanny Rachel, Bess Toney Gilbert, Grace, March, Neigher (?), Ginny, Galbo, Lizza Rose Stephen, Cretia Hannah, Bristol and Rachel “for the benefit of said Estate, and that the said Ordinary did grant leave to sell said negro slaves above named and that the said negro Slaves were after being duly advertised and exposed to public sale at Hinesville in Liberty County on the first day of March Eighteen hundred and fifty three and said negro Slaves were knocked off to William Jones for the sum of Ten thousand three hundred and thirty nine dollars which was the highest and best bid that was made…” [NOTE: The name of the deceased was variously spelled Lewis and Louis.] Witnessed by Amos Benton J.P., G.R. Baker, Henry Clark, Henry W. Tindall. Recorded on April 22, 1853.

Note: Based at above records seems this Rose was the one of the same persons who was mentioned as Rosanna in 1850, 1854, 1857, 1860, as Rose in 1843, 1850, as Rose (Little/Young) in 1845, 1848, 1851, as Rose (Old/Big) in 1846, 1849, 1850, 1852, as Rose LeConte (Old) in 1853, 1856, 1859, but based above of record Estate Inventory of Jones, Moses L. in 1855, seems one of Rose was enslave in the same time of Moses Liberty Jones and of his older brother William Jones (1802-1885) and belogns to both, and they shared each other the same person at their estates. One of them was previously belogned to their mother Mary Jones, but which one exactly (?)

This Rose, who was mentioned later in Census of 1870 as child (age 4, b. 1866) of Affe Jones, in District 76, Jefferson, Georgia, United States: "United States Census, 1870", , FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MC3Z-MCZ : Tue Mar 05 09:34:53 UTC 2024), Entry for Affe Jones and Rose Jones, 1870., seems was a one of younger Affee's daughters.
