Biography

U.S. Southern Colonies Project logo
Rose (Unknown) Newton was a Virginia colonist.

Rose (Unknown) Newton was born in 1633 in Carleton, Yorkshire, England.

Rose married Thomas Shepherd (~1635 - bef Aug 1668).[1]

Rose married bef Aug 1668 John Tucker (1626 - 1671).

Their children were...

  1. Robert Tucker (1652 - ~1704)
  2. Sarah (Tucker) Fitzhugh (1663 - ~1703)
  3. William Gerard Tucker (1671 - ~1733).

Rose married Thomas Gerard (<1608 - 1673) in 1671 in Virginia.

Rose married after 1673 John Newton (1639 - 1697).

Their children were...

  1. Gerard Newton (1680 - ).
  2. Elizabeth (Newton) Berryman (abt.1683-aft.1762)
  3. Possibly Thomas[2]

Another listing shows the following children with John Newton (1626 - 1697) Jane, Thomas William, Benjamin, Joseph, John, Gerard.[citation needed] Some of these children are named in John Newton's will (see below), but may not all have been Rose's children by him.

Description: Decedent
Date: 1 Dec 1712
Prove Date: 4 Feb 1712
Notes: To son Thomas Newton land in Virginia and Maryland my late husband Thomas Gerrard left me.[4]

Research Notes

Unknown Parents

Over the years, it was accepted that Rose was the daughter of Isaac Allerton and Fear Brewster, but genealogists have been unable to identify Rose's parents, and the Allerton assumption has been effectively disproved.[5]Here is a discussion that argues against Rose being an Allerton.

It is possible that her maiden name was Sturman, but that theory has yet to be proved.

Thomas Sturman had a wife Ann Porter Sturman whose 1654 will named her daughter Rosanna, then in England.[6]

But there is insufficient evidence to prove that the daughter mentioned in this will is the Rose of Virginia.

With no evidence of Rose's parents, she has been disconnected from any parents and given the maiden name of Unknown. Please do not attach Isaac Allerton and Fear Brewster, or any other parents, without contacting one of the Profile Managers or a member of the Puritan Great Migration project.

Further Research Needed

Rose may have married four times. She may have been the widow of Thomas Shepherd when she married John Tucker in about 1660. There is a deed in Northampton Co. dated 15 Aug 1657 which identifies Rose as the wife of Thomas Sheppard when a patent held by Sheppard was transferred to Thomas Broughton.[citation needed] Likewise, there is a 23 Aug 1664 Northampton patent which states "...John Tucker, who married Thomas Shepard's widow..." [citation needed]

John Tucker and Rose married about 1660 and had three? children, but which ones? Two daughters, Sarah and Rose were mentioned in John's Will, as well as an unborn child and an unnamed eldest son.

  • Gerard Tucker b abt 1650 d abt 1710 (or William Gerard Tucker, 1669 – 1733)
  •  ? Elizabeth b abt 1660 d abt 1700 marr to Ebenezer Blakistone (Blackistone)
  •  ? John b abt 1662 d abt 1709 (or 1658-1733?)
  • Sarah b 8-2-1663 d abt 1703 marr 5-1-1674 to William Fitzhugh (marriage questionable)
  • Rose b. 1669 d abt 1762

John Tucker died in 1671 and left a Will.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Rose by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Rose:

I see there's an unmerged match with Rose Unknown.

Given that there appears no evidence that John Newton married a Rose Bailes and we have no other information about her, should we not complete that merge into Rose Unknown?

posted on Bailes-9 (merged) by Jillaine Smith
Allerton-452 and Unknown-231890 appear to represent the same person because: Same husband and same first name, and her surname was decided as unknown after some discussion.
posted by Anonymous Jobes
Since the merge of the two profiles had not been completed, I did complete the merge. I added "Allerton" as another name so hopefully if a person is searching for Rose by that name, this profile would show up thereby preventing another duplicate (maybe!!).

I also added Elizabeth (Newton) Berryman (abt.1683-aft.1762) as her child from her marriage to John Newton.

I will leave the rest for you folks to review and make changes if needed.

There are quite a bit of unknowns surrounding [Newton-165] and his wives. I see the name "Joan Barr" listed as a 1st. wife, in the undocumented source below.

For your consideration, the following quotations might provide some useful information and some NEW information, worthy of discussion and investigation.

Chapter VIII, Page 114 Colonial Services with Proofs of Eligibility on Descendants For Membership In Colonial Dames Society

"John Newton: Services: Justice and Land Proprietor"

"Proofs: In William and Mary Quarterly, V2, p.48, "July 24, 1677: Sept 29, 1677, in List of Justices for Westmorland Co., Va., to decide on a Petition for Col. Isaac Allerton." see "John Newton.""

"John Newton came to America in 1660: married 1st, Joan Barr of England; married 2nd, Mrs. Rose Tucker Gerrard of Westmoreland Co., Va."

"Justices of Peace, in position of honor and service, represented the Genuine Aristoc of Colonial Virginia."

"They were the most able, honest and judicious persons of the Country."

Unknown-258455 and Tucker-939 are not ready to be merged because: Correct last name at birth needs to be determined first. Tucker, gerard, newton, nor shephard are the last name at birth. Please don't merge into unknown as there are several other duplicates. If they are all merged into unknown and then the correct name is determined will cause redirects.

I believe the LNAB is Allerton but need to verify the source first.
