Biography

James Dowsett Rose was born 24 Mar 1767, in Fort St. David in Cuddalore, India. His parents were Richard Rose and Agnes Cleland. He married Sarah Andrews. James Dowsett Rose-Cleland passed away 25 Sep 1852, in Rathgael House, Bangor, Ireland.^[1][2][3]

Notes

" Richard and Agnes had a son, James Dowsett Rose, who was born in March 1767, so it is gratifying to know that while recuperating from his wounded wrist Richard did at least probably see his son. "... "James had an uncle, also called James, who owned an estate east of Belfast, near Bangor, called the Rath Gael estate, and when the elder James died in 1777, the younger James inherited. His name was changed to James Dowsett Rose-Cleland, and he went on to become a prominent County Down figure. He inherited his grandfather’s Berkshire property in 1784, he commanded the Newtownards Yeomanry at the Battle of Saintfield in Co. Down in 1798 (probably not with distinction – the fight is normally regarded as a victory for the Irish rebels), and in 1805 he was made the county’s High Sheriff, and served many years as the Deputy Lord-Lieutenant, and he was an esteemed conchologist. The estate has gone, but the name lives on as a district of Bangor. "^[4]
