Notes |
- BIRTH: No birth rec found. Thomas Rose received 100 acres in Stonington from his mother, Joanna Fleming of Stonington, 18 Jul 1681 (Stonington Deeds, 2:62 [FHL #005593]). Joanna was apparently married to Robert Fleming who gave land in Stonington to his "son-in-law" (i.e. step-son)Thomas Rose, 8 Dec 1674 (Ibid, 2:62). Robert Fleming purchased the land for his step-son from Samuel Mason on 17 Feb 1669/70 (Ibid, 1:122; 2:62). These deeds suggest that Thomas had come of age in 1674 and was born, therefore, abt 1653. The identity of Thomas's father is not clearly proved. At the New London County Court of 20 Sep 1698, Joanna sued Caleb Fobes and Ebenezer Witter of Preston for the theft of two pewter dishes marked TRJ and EG. The initials on the first dish may stand for Thomas Rose and Joanna (New London Co. Court recs, 7:219, cited in Alfred L. Holman, BLACKMAN AND ALLIED FAMILIES [Chicago, 1928], 169 [FHL #929.273 B565h]).
MAR #1: No evidence of this mar has been found except for the existence of a son, Thomas, who was born about 1675, according to his gravestone inscription. It is chronologically difficult to place Thomas in the family of Thomas Rose and his 2nd wife.
MAR #2: Diary of Thomas Minor of Stonington, entry for 16 Sep 1680, in John A. Miner, ed, THE MINOR DIARIES, STONINGTON, CONNECTICUT, THOMAS 1653 TO 1684, MANASSEH 1696 TO 1720 (Ann Arbor, MI, 1976), 162 (FHL #1036221). Part 1, the diary of Thomas Minor, is a reprint of an 1899 edition. The entry gives the mar date but does not identify the wife. Thomas's will, below, identifies a wife Hannah. She is apparently the dau of Robert Allyn of New London, who deeded 100 acres of land in New London to his son-in-law Thomas Rose, 7 Apr 1681 (New London Deeds, 5:71 [FHL #005084]). Thomas was also an heir to the Robert Allyn estate, 20 Sep 1683 (Ibid, 5:87).
DEATH: "Preston Births, Marriages, Deaths, 1687-1850," Barbour Collection (typescript, 1919; Conn. State Library, Hartford), 174 (FHL #002977). Also see the will of Thomas Rose of Preston, 20 Nov 1743, proved 29 May 1744, inv 30 May 1744, New London District Probate Files, #4615 (FHL #1025046).
