Robert Rose was born about 1594 (aged 40 on 30 April 1634).
He married (1) By about 1619 Margery _____. They came to Massachusetts Bay in 1634 on the Francis of Ipswich (on 30 April 1634, "Robert Rose," aged 40, "Margery his wife," aged 40, "John Rose," aged 15, "Robert Rose," aged 15, "Eliz[abeth] Rose," aged 13, "Mary Rose," aged 11, "Samuell Rose," aged 9, "Sarah Rose," aged 7, "Danyell Rose," aged 3, and "Darcas Rose," aged 2, were enrolled at Ipswich as passengers for New England on the Francis of Ipswich. Their first residence in New England is unknown, but they settled in Wethersfield in 1635, & in Branford after 1643.
He married (2) shortly after 7 June 1664 Elizabeth (_____) (Potter) Parker, widow of John Potter and of Edward Parker
He died between 25 August 1664 (date of will) and 4 April 1665 (probate of will).
Charles E. Banks claimed that Robert Rose was from Elmswell, Suffolk, but John Insley Coddington demonstrated that the Robert Rose of Elmswell could not have been the immigrant to New England. Coddington also pointed out that the Robert Rose of Long Island was distinct from and unconnected with this Robert Rose.
In 1983, Christine Rose published a comprehensive study of the Descendants of Robert Rose of Wethersfield and Branford, Connecticut, Who Came on the Ship "Francis" in 1634 from Ipswich, England.
