Sir

The papers of Elizabeth Rose widow of William Rose
have been examined and filed. The Service alleged to have
rendered by the claimants husband is indefinitely set
forth by the witness. In order to a satisfactory investigation
the duration of each tour should be distinctly specified
as well as the names of the officers and the names of the
places where the service was rendered. The
record of the marriage
has the appearance of being recent -
Cannot therefore be received as evidence on that
point. If Capt Morgan was in the State Services, some
evidence thereof may be had by application to the Secretary
of State at Trenton

The papers of Mrs Elizabeth Rose widow of William
Rose have again been examined It is alleged that the
claimants husband served 3 months in 1778, in 1779 4 months
in 1780 3 months and in the latter part of the war 3 months.
Of the service thus described there is no satisfactory evidence in
the Department. Capt Morgan had the command of a
Company of State troops but not at the period referred to.
In the ordinary militia then were no tours of three
and four months duration. The leaf containing the family
record is herewith returned, the marriage of the
Claimant appears to have been recently recorded. The
record should be identified by a credible disinterested witness
The claimant is again referred to the office of the Secretary
of State at Trenton for further proof of her husbands revolutionary
services

marriage.

Sir

I beg leave to return for correction the enclosed
certificate of pension. Mrs Rose is & has for years
been a resident of the city of New York, & her person
is payable here and not at Trenton, New Jersey,
as specified in the endorsement.

You will excuse me for stating that the same
mistake occurred in the issue of her former certificate,
which subjected her to the necessity of applying
for a transfer before she could draw here. I
presume it originates in the fact that she once
drew in New Jersey.

directing the transfer of money remaining unclaimed by certain Pensioners,
and authorizing the payment of the same at the Treasury of the United

Sir

The leaf continuing the family record of Mrs Elizabeth
Rose does not permit satisfactory evidence of the date of
her marriage. The memorandum written by William Rose
in 1792 & the word [?] of the marriage, as the claimant states,
by her husband two years after were evidently not written
by the same individual. The difference between the two both in
the hand writing and orthography furnish conclusive
evidence to that effect. In my report on this case on
the 26th September last the proof in regard to the service
of the claimants husband was objected as not being
sustained by any evidence in the Department. No
further proof in relation thereto has been produced.
Capt Margan had the command of a company of
State troops but not for the terms mentioned by the witness.

Dr Sir

I rec'd this morning the record
in the case of Mrs Elizabeth Rose.
I think it exceedingly oppressive in
the Dept to require of applicants that
they should Authenticate their respective
records differently now from the rule
heretofor established and acted upon
In all the numerous cases I have had
and in which I have succeeded the only
testimony as to the authenticity of the
record has been the Affidavit of the
Applicant and I would ask who so
well qualified to testify If another
witness be found he or she must be
one of the family and of consequence
interested. I trust the [illegible] do not
at this late day, insist upon a new
rule unessencial, in its character and
put Applicants to the trouble and expense
of procuring testimony unimportant
In regard to Mrs Rose I think in addition to
the record you have in Halls testimony
as to marriage that must suffice to
establish the marriage In regard to
Service Capt Morgan served continually
during the war You have that fact
on file in your office in various and
numerous cases The fact that no other
evidence exists in the State Dept should
not militate against any case for the
records there are not [illegible] The Idea
suggested in the letter from the Dept that
there was no three months service in
the several years specified in the
testimony is not urged the testimony
goes to say that in the years specified
Page 47

the tours of Service amounted to so many
months that is stated and Meant
I therefore return the record in Mrs
Rose's Case and trust that after the
forgoing explanation and references
the Dept will be satisfied And I
hereby rest the case upon the
testimony on file

Miss Lucy E. Rose
8 Townsend Street
Newton, New Jersey

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request information
relative to Jan, Richard, William Rose, of Sussex County, New Jersey,
also, of four brothers, John, born 1750, Jacob, born 1755, Benjamin,
born 1760 and Andrew, born 1763, all surnamed Rose of Sussex or
Hunterdon County, New Jersey, and all soldiers of the Revolutionary War.

There are no claims for pension or bounty land on file based
upon service in the Revolution of John, Jacob or Benjamin Rose as
described, or of any Jan or Andrew Rose. Such claims are the source
of Revolutionary War data furnished by this office.

In order to identify the records of the particular soldiers
named Richard and William Rose in whom you are interested, should
they be on file, as much as possible of the following data in regard
to each should be given: approximate dates of birth and death, places
of residence at enlistment and after service and given name of widow.

Please return these letters with your reply.

Very truly yours

Veterans Administration,

Dear Sir:

Can you give me the war records of the following men who
are supposed to have been Revolutionary soldiers from Sussex
County, also if pensions were given to them or their families:

Jan Rose, Quartermaster General's Dept. Also state troops 1781
Richard Rose, Sussex Co.
William Rose,  "  "

There were four Rose brothers, John b. 1750, Jacob b. 1755,
Benjamin, born 1760 and Andrew born 1763 who would have been old
enough to have participated in the Revolution, perhaps not at the
beginning but at least before the end, but we can find no records
either in Sussex nor Hunterdon Counties. However, they might have
assisted Andrew Rose of Durham, Pennsylvania, in making cannon
balls for the American army. As you perhaps know, the Andrew Rose
of Durham, Pa. who made cannon balls was the great-grandfather of
President McKinley.

Any information you are able to give me in regard to the
Roses mentioned above will be gratefully received.

Very truly yours,
(Miss) Lucy E. Rose

John Rose's widow's name was Elizabeth.
Jacob's wife's name was Mary.
Benjamin's wife's name was Mary (Pickell) Rose
Andrew's wife's name was also Mary but he
pre-deceased her.

Jan Rose, I am sure was the John above written

Am unable to find the names of Richard's and William's
wives.

Pension Department,

Gentlemen:

Will you please inform me if you can give me the Revolutionary War service
of William Rose, born in New Jersey 1760. Information has reached me that
he served seven years in the War of the American Revolution. Also of Joel Carrison
"a soldier of the Revolutionary War" born in Edinburg, Scotland. He was a resident
of New Jersey.

William Rose is the great great grandfather of my husband, John Asa
Clark. Joel Carrison is also his great great grandfather. His daughter, Sarah
Carrison, born in Trenton, N. J., was the wife of his great grandfather Abraham
Rose--son of William Rose.

I am very anxious for Mr. Clark to become a member of the "Sons of the
American Revolution" as soon as proof of the services of either or both of the
great great grandfathers can be secured.

Thanking you in advance for your kindness to assist me in securing
this proof, I am,

Very respectfully yours,
Mrs. J. A. Clark.
