Hi Fern, I noticed some surnames you've been researching, and was wondering if you've come across some information that could help me knock down my brick wall. My brick wall is John Rose, b. 1761 in probably Hampshire Co., VA. He married Rebekah Bowen, b. 1763 in Chambersburg, Franklin Co., PA. She was the d/o David & Hannah (Davis) Bowen. Our Rose researchers have been trying to figure out for over 20 years who our John Rose's parents were. You mentioned the surname "McIntire". It is SUGGESTED that our John Rose's sister was Rachel Rose who married John McIntire, s/o Charles McIntire. Have you seen anything that might prove this? It is also SUGGESTED that John Rose's father was Ezekiel Rose who married Mary Higgins. We THINK she was the daughter of Thomas Higgins from the Hampshire Co., VA area. Some people think that our John Rose was actually this Ezekiel's brother, not his son. With this theory it's SUGGESTED that John & Ezekiel's parents were Robert Rose and Johanna...Crawford or Quick. From very recent DNA studies, we've learned that we have the same ancestry as the Roses from Long Island, NY that migrated down to Hampshire Co., VA, and over to Washington County, Fayette County, and Green County, of PA. This includes the Robert Rose and Ezekiel Rose I mentioned above. We just don't know how to fit the pieces directly together. Have you come across the Roses in your research of the McIntires and Higgins, and do you have any information that might shed some light on our John Rose? Thanks so much!
