Mary, as you asked, I might have that tiny shred that would lead you elsewhere. I have an interest in the Rose that was a dau of Col. Rose. I note her middle name to be Fitzhugh. I have a connection, however slight, thru Fitzhugh, and I seem to recall a Rose connection but can't easily lay my hands on the documents. Will look as time allows. I have been somewhat ill for the past seven months and my medication doesn't help my research abilities at this time. Being nearly 70 doesn't help either. Anyway, do you have more re: Fitzhugh and/or Rose of VA? There is an abundance of data available for the Fitzhugh family as it was one of the wealthiest and high placed families in America..connected to George Washington, The Custis Family, the Carter's to name a few from memory....They were also a family of wealth in England. A latter day Fitzhugh married a Dawson in my wife's Linder line in Iowa in the late 1800's. Let me know if anything sounds familiar. Hal, from Northern California!
