Biography

Margery was born, probably in Suffolkshire, England before 1600.

She died in New Haven Colony, Connecticut before June, 1664, the date when her husband Robert Rose married his second wife.

Immigration

Both Savage^[1] and Coldham's Complete Book of Emigrants^[2] quote the following as landing in New England on 30 Apr 1634: "Passengers from Ipswich by the Francis of Ipswich, Mr John Cutting, bound for New England: Robert Rose 40 and Margery his wife 40, John Rose 15, Robert Rose 15, Elizabeth Rose 13, Mary Rose 11, Samuell Rose 9, Sarah Rose 7, Danyell Rose 3, Darcas Rose 2".^[3][4]

England Parish Records

The record for the marriage of Robert and Margery has not yet been found, nor the birth records for their first two children. Following are the baptism records for their children from the parish of Bures (Bures St. Mary), which is on the border of Suffolkshire and Essex about 20 miles southwest of Ipswich.

1. Elisabeth, bapt. 5 MAR 1619/20. ^[5]
2.   Mary,   bapt. 1 SEP 1622. ^[6]
3. Samuel,   bapt. 20 FEB 1624/25. ^[7]
4.   Sarah,   bapt. JUL 1627. ^[8]
5.   Daniel,   bapt. 11 APR 1630. ^[9]

Research Notes

The claim that Margaret, wife of Robert Rose, was daughter of Thomas Everard and Agnes Mannock appears in almost every online family tree, but none of them provide any evidence. While it is true that Thomas Everard had a daughter Margaret of about the right age, again nothing proves a connection between the two Margarets. According to Christine Rose:

"Her identity is not known, nor her date of death, but she came in 1634 with her husband and eight children and had two children after her arrival. It is said that she died before 1644, though I find no supporting records. Nothing is known of Margery beyond her name on the ship passenger list; her character, her parentage, all is lost to us."^[10]

Stirnet.com lists William, Francis, Ann, Henry, Francis, Thomas, Anthony, Edward, Raufe, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, and Margery as children of Thomas and Agnes, but gives no dates or anything more about Margery.^[11] Linsted, Suffolk, England is about 55 miles from Bures St. Mary where five of Robert and Margery's children were baptized.
