I too descend from Jacobus(James) Rose. I believe James died about 1783 wife was Lea Crispell?? His son James Rose b Jan 13, 1778 Uster Co NY died Sept 6 1861 Pickaway Co. OH. James (2) was 5 when his father died. He married Sarah Van Wagner after Sarah died in 1823 he had two other wives( Fanny Thrall & Lucy Wiggins). I have an old family passbook paper that tells about the the Family This pass Book was a Brown notebook containing " Family Records for Frank G. Rose, Written by his Mother, Charlotte Manly Rose. The first entry in my paper copy of the notebook dated Williamsport, Oh Sept 29, 1889. Charlotte interviewed all the oldest relatives of the families so all of the information may not be correct. "James Rose came from Germany some time previous to the Revolutionary War and settled in Dutchess County New York. He served as a soldier in that war and for carrying and safely delivering a message over a dangerous road was awarded by the Government a title to a large tract of land in New York on part of which the city of Kinderhook now stands. He died about the year 1783 or 1784 and his children quite small no claim to the land was established. His wife or widow married a Mr. Terwilliger. They had several sons from which the Terwilligers in this - Pickaway County are descended. To his son James & wife Sarah Van Wagoner these children were born: Levi born May 27, 1800 *James b May 14 1802 m Rebecca Coe of New York Sarah b August 8 1804 Jonathan V. b August 2, 1807 Peter D.D. b May 7 1810 Abraham D. b December 18 1812 David D. b August 20 1815 David b July 24, 1818 Elizabeth b July 30 1822. James & wife Sarah left NY and came to Pickaway Co, OH in Deer Creek Township known as the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood in about 1818. I have a little more on this line of the family if anyone is interested. We used to have in Ohio a Rector-Wiggins-Terwilliger-Rose Reunion at Mt Pleasant Church near Circleville OH. There was a newsletter that was published for many years and I only have a few copies. It had many old pictures and information about all these family branches. Connie Maguire
