Surnames: Rose Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VUB.2ACE/639 Message Board Post: I am trying to trace the family of William Rose, which I realize is a very common name! This particular William Rose was born in Nash County in the late 1700's, and had at least four children: John H. "Jack" Rose (1805-1882) Amos Rose (1789-?) William Rose (1804-?) Martin Decatur Rose (died in the Civil War in 1863) All of these sons moved to South Carolina around the 1830's, so their father William may have, too. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
