Nellie M ROBINSON was born about 1862 in Gardiner, Kennebec, ME.⁽¹⁰⁸²⁾ She moved in 1934 to Pittsburg, Allegeny, PA.

She married to Ralph Varnam SPEAR on 7 Jul 1883 in Boston, Suffolk, MA.⁽¹⁰⁸²⁾⁽¹²²⁵⁾⁽⁷⁴²⁷⁾ 7 Jul 1883 is recorded by the marriage certificate (192) and on Boston Marriage register (224). 10 Jul 1883 is recorded by the Spear family bible (196) and Ralph's obit (208). Some citations in the bible appear to be from memory. According to 208, he attended school in Walpole (208). At some point, while a resident of Charlestown, Ralph became a member of the Ward 4 Republican Ward Committee. He was a ranking member of his Masonic lodge (obit is torn).

He married to Sarah Jane BRANN.⁽¹⁰⁸²⁾⁽¹⁰⁸³⁾ Children were: Nellie M ROBINSON.

Elizabeth ROGERS was born between 1635 and 1640. I am assuming that Elizabeth is the daughter of first wife Mary, whom Simon married after 1635, but who died 1640. She died after 1684.⁽⁷⁴³⁴⁾ Parents: Simon ROGERS and Mary .

She married to Samuel RUST before 1672.⁽²⁰³⁾
Children were: Elizabeth RUST, Mary RUST, Samuel RUST.

Gamaliel ROGERS was born on 26 Mar 1657 in Boston, Suffolk, MA.⁽⁷⁴³⁵⁾ Parents: Simon ROGERS and Susanna.

John ROGERS was born about 18 Jul 1648 in Boston, Suffolk, MA.⁽⁷⁴³⁶⁾ Parents: Simon ROGERS and Susanna.

Simon ROGERS was born about 1615 in England.⁽⁷⁴⁴⁰⁾ He was 20 in 1635. It would be interesting if there was a connection between Simon and John Rogers, who, according to Cutter (638), was burned at the stake 4 Feb 1555. He emigrated on 17 Jul 1635 to Massachusetts Bay Colony.⁽⁷⁴⁴¹⁾ Came in the Defence from London. He moved before 1640 to Concord, Massachusetts Bay Colony.⁽⁷⁴⁴²⁾ He took the oath of a freeman on 13 May 1640 in Concord, Massachusetts Bay Colony.⁽⁷⁴⁴³⁾ He was a shoemaker before 1643 in Concord, Massachusetts Bay Colony.⁽⁷⁴⁴⁴⁾ He moved before 1643 to Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony.⁽⁷⁴⁴⁵⁾ He was a tanner after 1643 in Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony.⁽⁷⁴⁴⁶⁾ He signed a will on 1 Apr 1678.⁽⁷⁴⁴⁷⁾

He married to Mary between 1635 and 1640.⁽⁷⁴⁴⁸⁾ John Rogers came alone on the Defense at age 20. I assume that he married Mary after arriving in 1635 but before she died in 1640. I also assume that she is the mother of Elizabeth since Savage says she is mentioned in Simon's will but that she is not among those named as children of second wife Susanna. Children were: Elizabeth ROGERS.

He married to Susanna between 1640 and 1643.⁽⁷⁴⁴⁹⁾ Children were: Nathaniel ROGERS , Lydia ROGERS, John ROGERS , Simon ROGERS, Gamaliel ROGERS, Joseph ROGERS.

Simon ROGERS was born on 26 Apr 1654 in Boston, Suffolk, MA.⁽⁷⁴⁵⁰⁾ Parents: Simon ROGERS and Susanna.

Dorcas ROSE was born about 1632/33 in England.⁽⁷⁴⁵³⁾⁽⁷⁴⁵⁴⁾ Parents: Robert ROSE and Margery EVERARD.

Elizabeth ROSE was born about 1621 in England.⁽⁷⁴⁵⁵⁾⁽⁷⁴⁵⁶⁾ Parents: Robert ROSE and Margery EVERARD.

Hannah ROSE was born in 1656 in Branford, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁴⁵⁷⁾ She died probably before 1683 in Branford, New Haven, CT.⁽¹³⁵⁾ Parents: Deacon John ROSE and Ellen MOULTHROP.

She married to Benoni FRISBIE about 1678.⁽¹³⁵⁾ Children were: Benjamin FRISBIE, Ebenezer FRISBIE.

Deacon John ROSE was born about 1619 in England.⁽¹³⁵⁾⁽⁷⁴⁶⁰⁾ He emigrated on 12 Nov 1634 to Massachusetts Bay Colony.⁽⁷⁴⁶¹⁾ He moved before 1647 to Wethersfield, Hartford, CT.⁽⁷⁴⁶²⁾ He 47 acres deeded to him by his father Daniel before 1647 in Wethersfield, Hartford, CT.⁽⁷⁴⁶³⁾ He appeared in court between 1649 and 1653/54.⁽⁷⁴⁶⁴⁾⁽⁷⁴⁶⁵⁾ He served as a juror five times during this period. Savage implies that this was in Bradford, but says he was living there after 1667. Mmmm. He appeared in court about 1665 in New Haven, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁴⁶⁶⁾ According to the genealogist Christine Rose, Robert Pinion testified that attempted access to the house of John Rose, when John and his wife were away at a meeting, and when the children refused to let him in, her entered by way of a window. He made the two younger daughters leave a room so he could be with the elder daughter. My ancestor Hannah Rose would have been one of the younger girls. Curiously, Christine Rose mentions that among the charges against Robert Pinion were theft and breaking of the Sabbath, but she does not mention rape.
Why was Robert Pinion NOT charged with rape?
Who was the girl he was alone with?
When did this event occur? He moved before 1667 to Branford, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁴⁶⁷⁾ It is not clear to me whether John lived in Branford or nearby New Haven, but he lived near the iron works, where he was Constable. He was admitted planter in 1673. He became a member in 1667 in Branford, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁴⁶⁸⁾ He was Constable (appointed) between 1671 and 1672 in New Haven, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁴⁶⁹⁾ He was a chosen Constable of New Haven iron works in 1677 in New Haven, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁴⁷⁰⁾ These iron works, on the river between East Haven and Branford, were the first in Connecticut when built in 1655. All of the employees lived in the New Haven area. The works operated for 25 years until about 1680, when its supply of iron ore (from North Haven) was exhausted. He took the oath of a freeman in 1678.⁽⁷⁴⁷¹⁾ He deeded a number of lots to settle his affairs (he made out a will a year later). in 1682 in Branford, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁴⁷²⁾ He signed a will on 18 Apr 1683 in Branford, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁴⁷³⁾ He left his wife Phebe 40 £ and very little else to his children. He died between 18 Apr 1683 and 10 May 1683 in Branford, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁴⁷⁴⁾⁽⁷⁴⁷⁵⁾ On this date, his will was proved. Parents: Robert ROSE and Margery EVERARD.

He married to Ellen MOULTHROP about Mar 1663 in New, Haven, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁴⁷⁶⁾ (1652/53 is the year when Ellen first husband died and 1663 is when John is mentioned in vital records as being already married to Ellen). It is not clear which wife bore which children. Children were: Hannah ROSE, Deacon John ROSE, Mary ROSE, Martha ROSE, ROSE.

Deacon John ROSE died on 27 Dec 1722 in Branford, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁴⁸⁰⁾ Parents: Deacon John ROSE and Ellen MOULTHROP.

Captain Jonathan ROSE was born about 1634 in England.⁽⁷⁴⁸¹⁾ He died in 1736.⁽⁷⁴⁸²⁾ Parents: Robert ROSE and Margery EVERARD.

Martha ROSE Parents: Deacon John ROSE and Ellen MOULTHROP.

Mary ROSE died after 1683.⁽⁷⁴⁸³⁾ Parents: Deacon John ROSE and Ellen MOULTHROP.

Robert ROSE was born in 1594.⁽⁷⁴⁸⁶⁾⁽⁷⁴⁸⁷⁾⁽⁷⁴⁸⁸⁾ He emigrated on 12 Nov 1634 to Massachusetts Bay Colony.⁽⁷⁴⁸⁹⁾⁽⁷⁴⁹⁰⁾⁽⁷⁴⁹¹⁾ Robert came aboard the "Francis" with his wife Margery and 8 children. It left Ipswich, Suffolk , England late in April 1634. He moved after 12 Nov 1634 to Watertown, Middlesex, MA.⁽⁷⁴⁹²⁾ It is "quite probable" that Robert Rose settled first in Watertown, MA. There were several Watertown families that soon after removed to Whethersfield, CT. He moved before 1635 to Wethersfield, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁷⁴⁹³⁾ Whethersfield is the oldest town in CT. It was briefly called Watertown, CT, named after the town in MA from where its first settlers came in 1634, but the name was changed to Whethersfield in 1635. This was truly a wilderness in 1635. The settlers were under constant fear of attack from Indians. He served as a soldier about 1637 in Pequot Indian War (1637).⁽⁷⁴⁹⁴⁾ He was Constable, member of various town committees between 1639 and 1640 in Wethersfield, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁷⁴⁹⁵⁾⁽⁷⁴⁹⁶⁾⁽⁷⁴⁹⁷⁾ Robert was on the following committees:
1639: viewed lands for settlement at what is now Farmington
1640: recommended improvements for cultivation and the keeping of cattle. He purchased 20 acres of land (he now had 40). in 1640 in Wethersfield, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁷⁴⁹⁸⁾ He resided southeast side of Broad Street between 1640 and 1650 in Wethersfield, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁷⁴⁹⁹⁾ Robert was one of the largest owners of "adventurers lands." He was Representative, Deputy to General Court in Hartford between 1641 and 1643 in Wethersfield, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁰⁰⁾⁽⁷⁵⁰¹⁾⁽⁷⁵⁰²⁾ He served several times as deputy during this short period, but not consecutively. He served as Representative consecutively. He appeared in court in 1643 in Wethersfield, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁰³⁾ Robert Rose was one of several residents of the town who took issue with Rev. Henry Smith, who they accused of something (unclear) and signed a declaration against him. The matter was taken to the General Court, which found for the minister and not the residents. The court fined Robert Rose and the other dissenters 40 shillings. Robert chose to moved to Totoket (later Branford) the following year. He moved about 1644 to Totoket (Branford), New Haven Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁰⁴⁾⁽⁷⁵⁰⁵⁾ He appeared in court between 1644 and 1655 in Branford, New Haven Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁰⁶⁾ During this period, Robert Rose appeared in court 8 times. In most of these cases, the town records are not very enlightening as to the nature of the offenses:
In 1644, he was a defendant against Nathaniel Foote and had to pay damages and court costs.
In 1646, he was a plaintiff against Robins and was awarded 10 £ damages and court costs.
In 1648, he was fined 20 shillings for an unspecified misdemeanor, but at the same court, Enouch Buck was fined 10 shillings for irregular speeches made under oath against Robert Rose.
In 1653 and 1654, Rose appeared in court 4 times regarding the matter of a bull. Robins (again) entered an action against Thomas Blachly for taking his bull without permission and allowing it to die. Blachly had been hired by the town to breed a bull with some cows, but before the bull completed his mission, it got stuck in some mud and died, and so the townspeople refused to pay the fee. Blachly testified that a son of Robert Rose had taken the bull without permission. Rose denied this and claimed that Robins sold him and Goodman Edwards the services of the bull for 20 shillings plus an agreement to feed and pasture a steer for a summer. Witnesses submitted affidavits to this affect and John Russell testified that "he heard Mr. Robins say that he let the bull to Goodman Rose of Totoket, but because the bull was carelessly lost, he would not make the said Goodman Rose pay for him." The town argued that it was Robins who was negligent and bore the responsibility for the death of his bull but Robin's lawyer argued that it was the town that was negligent. Robert Abbott testified that the town took adequate care by allowing the bull to run with "dry cattle" during a season that was not swampy. The court's ruling didn't please anyone. The town was ordered to reimburse Robins 20 shillings for the services of the bull and 10 for summering the steer (to which the townspeople reluctantly agreed) but Robins was not reimbursed for the loss of a bull.
In 1655, he was defendant with Josiah Ward, accused of pulling down a fence. The verdict is not known. He moved before 1648 to Stratford, Fairfield, CT.⁽⁷⁵⁰⁷⁾ He resided 3 acres upon which was bulit a dwelling in 1663 in Branford, New Haven Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁰⁸⁾ Robert was one of the original proprietors of Branford. The dwelling was later appraised at 40 £. This was one of the most valuable in town. Robert Rose also had one of the three greatest acreages of land of any man in town. He had become a wealthy man. he owed 10 cows and 60 hordes. He is believed to have regularly given his Sunday milking tot he poor. He signed a will on 25 Aug 1664 in Branford, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁵⁰⁹⁾⁽⁷⁵¹⁰⁾ He died between 25 Aug 1664 and 4 Apr 1665 in Branford, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁵¹¹⁾⁽⁷⁵¹²⁾⁽⁷⁵¹³⁾ On this date, his will was presented in court. He left, according to his inventory, £826 (wealthiest man in town) includes house & land (£260), 2 bulls and furniture on 4 Apr 1665 in Branford, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁵¹⁴⁾⁽⁷⁵¹⁵⁾ The Genealogist Colonel George W.. Page claims the estate was worth a bit less at 616 £, but he nevertheless described Robert Rose as "the wealthiest man in town." who died in 1665, was valued at 616:17:00 £." He was a Fence viewer, collector of taxes, and estate appraiser in Wethersfield, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁷⁵¹⁶⁾

He married to Margery EVERARD before 1619.⁽⁷⁵¹⁷⁾ Children were: Deacon John ROSE , Robert ROSE, Elizabeth ROSE, Mary ROSE, Samuel ROSE, Sarah ROSE, Daniel ROSE, Dorcas ROSE, Captain Jonathan ROSE, Hannah ROSE.

He married to Elizabeth WOODS? after 7 Jun 1664 in New Haven, New Haven, CT.⁽⁷⁵¹⁸⁾ According to Christine Rose (453), "The second marriage of Robert Rose took place shortly after 7 June 1664 for on that date on that the date, the widow PARKER was to was to leave New Haven 'to change her condition' and desired to know the 'mind of the court' regarding her child's portions ... They were married only a few months, for Robert died soon after." I have seen elsewhere that her maiden name may have been WOODS.

Henry ROWLEY was born about 1595 in England.⁽⁷⁵⁴⁵⁾ Daniels (648) claims that his birthplace is not yet known although some claim he was born about 1585 in Bennington, Hertfordshire, England, in 1600 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England, or at Egerton, Kent, England. He emigrated in 1630 to Barnstable, Barnstable, MA.⁽⁷⁵⁴⁶⁾ According to Daniel (648), Henry Rowley's name is not among any surviving ship manifests but it has been proclaimed that he came in the ship Charles in 1632 or in the Speedwell. He moved before 1632 to Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁴⁷⁾ He was taxed Taxed 9 shillings according to Plymouth tax list on 25 Mar 1632/33 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁴⁸⁾⁽⁷⁵⁴⁹⁾ He took the oath of a freeman on 1 Jan 1634/35 in Scituate, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁵⁰⁾⁽⁷⁵⁵¹⁾ He Taxed 18 shillings according to Plymouth tax list on 27 Mar 1634.⁽⁷⁵⁵²⁾ He moved before Sep 1634 to Scituate, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁵³⁾⁽⁷⁵⁵⁴⁾⁽⁷⁵⁵⁵⁾ Henry and his family moved to the newly formed town of Scituate where they built the ninth house in town. Reverend John Lothrop built the 10th house. He acquired Henry Cobb's house then built a 2nd house on his own lot (he had built his own earier) in Sep 1634 in Scituate, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁵⁶⁾ ⁽⁷⁵⁵⁷⁾⁽⁷⁵⁵⁸⁾ The first house he built was probably adequate but small. He became a member Scituate church on 8 Jan 1635 in Scituate, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁵⁹⁾⁽⁷⁵⁶⁰⁾⁽⁷⁵⁶¹⁾ Goodman Rowley and his wife were founding members. He amoung those granted lands after complaining that their land holdings were too small to subsist on on 1 Jan 1637/38 in Scituate, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁶²⁾ He was Committee to move congregation to new settlement in 1638 in Scituate, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁶³⁾⁽⁷⁵⁶⁴⁾ Lothrop's congregation were unhappy in Scituate and requested permission to move. The committee intimately decided to move to Mattakeese and they became the founders of the town of Barnstable. This event may also be the "Committee' described by Stratton (715, pg 174) which included Rowley and involved administering a land grant to a new area called Sippican. He granted land in Seppekann (original grantee) on 22 Jan 1638/39.⁽⁷⁵⁶⁵⁾⁽⁷⁵⁶⁶⁾ He moved in 1639 to Mattakeese (later Barnstable), Plymouth Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁶⁷⁾ ⁽⁷⁵⁶⁸⁾ He was Constable on 2 Mar 1640/41 in Barnstable, Plymouth County.⁽⁷⁵⁶⁹⁾ ⁽⁷⁵⁷⁰⁾ He purchased home of Reverand John Lothrop in 1644 in Barnstable, Plymouth County.⁽⁷⁵⁷¹⁾ He was one of the surveyors of highways between 1646 and 1653 in Barnstable, Plymouth County.⁽⁷⁵⁷²⁾ served as surveyor three times during this period.

He was a planter/farmer in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁸⁵⁾ ⁽⁷⁵⁸⁶⁾

He married to Sarah PALMER? about 1630 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁸⁷⁾⁽⁷⁵⁸⁸⁾⁽⁷⁵⁸⁹⁾ Henry Rowley's first wife may have been a daughter of William Palmer, but there is no documentation that her name was "Sarah" although some references proclaim that to be the case. The tenuous connection is that William's will mentions "Moses Rowley that I love" but does not define the relationship. Some references assume that Moses was a grandchild of William. There is one however that claims Moses was Palmer's servant. He did have many servants and apprentices. MacGunnigle (478) says, "there is no evince that Henry Rowley's first wife was named Sarah. it is almost certain that she was daughter of William Palmer." Children were: Joesph ROWLEY, Sarah ROWLEY, Moses ROWLEY.

He married to Anne ELSDON/HEILSDON on 17 Oct 1633 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁷⁵⁹⁰⁾⁽⁷⁵⁹¹⁾⁽⁷⁵⁹²⁾⁽⁷⁵⁹³⁾ Anne brings her own children to the marriage and Henry becomes a stepparent.

Moses ROWLEY was born about 1633.⁽⁷⁶¹¹⁾ ⁽⁷⁶¹²⁾ There is no record found of Moses' birth. He may have been born in England or Plymouth, but Plymouth would seem more likely. He was born not long before Mar 1633 because he became of age to inherit a cow from William PALMER's estate in Mar 1654. So where was he at that time? Thereis no record of emigration for his father Henry Rowley. His first record in Plymouth was when he was taxed in Mar 1632/33, so unless he had just arrived prior to then, Moses was probably born in Plymouth. He inherited Received a cow from William Palmer's estate (having become of age) in Mar 1654.⁽⁷⁶¹³⁾ He took the oath of a freeman in 1657 in Barnstable, Barnstable, MA.⁽⁷⁶¹⁴⁾⁽⁷⁶¹⁵⁾ He appeared in court on 10 Jun 1658 in Barnstable, Barnstable, MA.⁽⁷⁶¹⁶⁾ On this date, he and Robert Parker were both fined 3 shillings for brawling.

He was Representative, Deputy to General Court in 1692 in Barnstable, Barnstable, MA.⁽⁷⁶²⁶⁾⁽⁷⁶²⁷⁾⁽⁷⁶²⁸⁾ Daniels (648) says that he left Plymouth before completing his term.
