Biography

William was born before 1780 in Granville County, North Carolina. He is the son of William Rose (1757-1835) and Elizabeth (Merritt) Rose (1758-1857).

William Rose and his family were in South Carolina until about 1804. Frederick Rose and his family resided in Greene County, Georgia; Frederick was William's uncle. This would explain why William was in Greene County, Georgia.

He married Frances "Frankey" Burch on 13 Jun 1804 in Greene County, Georgia.

The Burch family were neighbors of William Rose in South Carolina as shown in land deeds. Henry Burch (who was enumerated on the 1800 US census in Pendleton District with a daughter aged 11-15 years and 3 daughters aged 16-20 years) was mentioned in a deed of land granted by William Rose in Pendleton District, South Carolina.

He was enumerated on the 1830 and 1840 US censuses in Whitley County, Kentucky.

Later in life, it is likely that he married Nancy Green on 9 Jul 1856 in Whitley County, Kentucky, although there is also the possibility that this could've been a different William Rose; there were many men named William Rose in Whitley County.

He passed away about 1860 in Whitley County. [1]
