Hi Jerry I don't know if this will help much, but I just finished working on a genealogy in Bedford Co, PA. One of the more common names for this area is ROSE. In the 1800, 1810 and 1820 census, there are two Allen Rose's listed, along with a Edward, Jn., Thos, Wm., and Lewis. I was doing research on Hollar and Zimmerman and both of these families had members who moved to TN. Just a thought. dusti In a message dated 6/19/99 12:34:39 AM Eastern Daylight Time, grose@i-plus.net writes: > Hi folks! > > I am searching for A.C. and Millie ROSE.
