Biography
Rose was born about 1637, probably in Armagh, Ireland, to unknown parents. Her birth surname may have been Harlan.[1]
She married Henry Dixon (also spelled Dickson, Dixson) in Ireland, before 1660.[1] She and Henry were members of the Lurgan Monthly Meeting.[2] In 1683, they witnessed the marriage of William Dixon, assumed by genealogists to be their son, to Isabelle Rea in Seagoe, County Armagh, Ireland.[3] William is known to have immigrated to the American colonies with his sisters Dinah and Rose before 1690,[1] but whether Rose or Henry went with them is unclear.
Ben F. Dixon claims that Rose came to the colonies as a widow in the company of her children but cites no authority.[4] Quaker researcher Herbert Standing disputes that claim, along with the tradition that Henry was an innkeeper in New Castle, Delaware, adding, "[I]t is difficult to find any records substantiating the fact that either the father or the mother came to Delaware."[2]
When and where Rose died is unclear. No estate proceedings have been found for her. It is possible that she died in Ireland before her children immigrated to America.
Children
According to Herbert Standing, William, Dinah, and Rose were all members of the "Newark [Delaware] Meeting community."[2] All three married in 1690. William married Ann Gregg, daughter of William Gregg.[1] Rose married Thomas Pierson.[5]Dinah married Michael Harlan.[6]
