My ancestors are Roses but the middle name of Stout was passed down for three generations. I feel strongly that there is a Stout in the line somewhere and I haven't found anything after the1815 date. Thanks for your help. Hi, Not sure if below is in any way related to your Stout Rose in Tennessee. Please visit my web site - The Delaware River Stout's of Hunterdon County, NJ - _http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mirabella/_ (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mirabella/) Rachel Stout married Enos Rose on 3 Feb 1810 at Kingwood Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Marriage recorded in the office of the County Clerk at Flemington, Hunterdon County, NJ 1-180 - Enos Rose and Rachel Stout To John P. Blackwell Esqr, Clerk of the County of Hunterdon, State of New Jersey. I, Holloway W. Hunt, Minister of the Gospel, do hereby certify that the following marriages were pronounced by me according to the laws of New Jersey, according to the dates annexed. This family moved with their children to Macoupin County, IL in 1835. Enos Rose had other relatives in the Hunterdon County, NJ area that may have also married a Rose. Happy Hunting, Kathie
