About us

The text below was entered by previous project administrators and is of such value, I feel it should not be deleted. (DGM 21 Feb 2017).

Update (DGM 23 Dec 2018):
•  If DNA test results demonstrate the need for changes in these groupings, these edits will be shown by a change in color or font of text, not a deletion of original text:
     This Georgia font will be used whenever I insert blocks of body text.
     Blue text indicates someone added to the Group, sometimes because they joined after I adopted the project (kit numbers 650000 or higher).  Other times, lower kit numbers are being added because the previous admins hadn't added them to this list.  It may also indicate text that I've added.
     Greyed out text indicates someone whose membership in the Group is tentative or premature (needs to upgrade testing).
     Pale blue text indicates that the member is both new to the group and has only a tentative connection to it (needs to upgrade testing).
     Red text indicates the person should be removed from the Group for the reason given, or with other text, that it's in error.

• As I work with groups, I will indicate [in brackets] the testing level and matching level of each individual .  I will also add Kit numbers and Haplogroups (Hg) as I go along.

• The project once had several groups for non-ROSE surnames; I've removed these individual from the ROSE project and moved their entries on this page to the bottom of the page (out of the original alphabetical order).

•  It remains questionable whether any "groups" should have been formed for single individuals, that is, men without a genetic match to another ROSE.  There are over 100 such individuals currently in "non-matching" groups in the project, organized by haplogroup.  So, would it actually be helpful to create a group for each one of these unmatched individuals?  I will immediately form a group for each one as soon as they get a meaningful match.




ROSE DNA PROJECT


With the aid of Y-DNA test results and the sharing of family lineages by our participants, we have been able to

determine various groups of Roses and related surnames, and their ancestors... Below is a listing of the earliest

ancestors we have identified to date (as of 21 Feb 2016):


Groups & Their Earliest Ancestors


Group A

Robert Rose from England 1634 to Wethersfield and Branford Cos., CT


• Robert Rose b. ca 1594 (m. Margery), from England, 1634 to Wethersfield & Branford Cos., CT

• John Francis b. 1658

• Robert Francis b. ca 1628 (m. Joan Sibberance), England to Wethersfield, CT


Group A1

William Rose from England to Surry County, VA, ca 1650


• William Rose (m. Ann) from England to Surry Co., Virginia, c1650

• Reddick Rose b. 1778, Nash Co., NC to Robertson Co., TN

• Allen Rose b. 1810 (m. Edna Ann Redfearn), Nash Co., NC

• Robert Rose b. ca 1775 (m. Patsy Jones), Nash Co., NC

• Theophilus Rose b. ca 1763 (m. Christian), of Wayne Co., NC

• William Rose b. ca 1812 (m. Sarah Glover), Nash Co., NC to Carroll & Granada Cos., MS

• Richard Rose b. 1790 (m. Sarah Harrell), NC to Christian Co., KY & Stewart Co., TN

• Micajah William Rose b. 1830 (m. Sarah Elizabeth Ogdon), Edgecombe Co., NC to KY & IL

• William Rose b. 1720s (m. Martha), Southampton Co., VA to Bute & Franklin Cos., NC

• Thomas Carlton or Carleton b. 1748 (m. Martha Thomas), Chester Co. PA



Group AA

A Rose Family of Illinois (Possibly from an earlier Southern McKinney family.)


All three individuals appear to have dropped out of the project.

• Joseph Francis Rose b. 1789, NC to IL?

• William Jesse Rose b. 1825 (m. Julia Clark), TN to Hamilton Co., IL

• Kim Rose b. ca 1845 (m. Mae Hammond), of Monroe Co., AR


Group B — Hg I2-Y7214

From an Earlier Dutch BROUWER / Brewer family


There is a web site dedicated to the BROUWER Family, with much discussion of Y-DNA test results, including our ROSEs and the EMBODY, who appears to have a ROSE>EMBODY NPE.  I have no argument with the site, except that they assume a Y-DNA STR match proves the identity of the progenitorYou cannot prove descent from a specific individual with Y-DNA STR testing, alone.  For example, if progenitor Jan BROUWER had a brother, you couldn't prove you didn't descend from the brother — or a first cousin, or an uncle, etc.  In most cases, you will still need to make the paper connection to assert a specific individual as your progentitor.


Only one BREWER and one ROSE [OLSON] have been BigY tested to Hg I2-Y7214 or STR tested to 111 markers.  Because we are asserting a connection across surnames, it would be desirable for the rest of the ROSEs to at least upgrade to 111 markers or, preferably, take the BigY test, which includes the standard 111 markers.

Group K2 — Hg R1b-M269

Possibly distantly related (Overseas) to the Robert & Dorothy Rose Family

Descendants of John ROSE (1755-1816) & Jane CONOVER of England and Prince William Co., VA


These two ROSEs have a 37/37 match with each other, but with no other ROSEs, even at 12 or 25 markers.  They have only 10/12, 20/25, and 28/37 matches with Group K (Robert & Dorothy ROSE), indicating they are not remotely related to them.  Please see also this page on Group K2 at OpenRoseDNA.


• 26350 James Ellis Rose b. 1755 d. 1816 (m. Jane Conover), Prince William Co., VA [Y37; 37/37 match w/below]

• 139349 James Rose (1755- ); James E. (1785- ) m. Eliz Robinson; Robert Rose (1808- ) [Y37; 37/37 match w/above]



Group KK


• Hardy Rose b. 1797 (m. Polly Freeman), Nash Co., NC to GA


Group L


• John Rose (m. Lucy Bennet), of King George & Stafford Cos., VA

• Abner Rose b. 1763 m. Sally Summers, NC/AL/MS/TN

• William Hamer Rose b. 1816 (m. Elizabeth Duvault), VA to Greene Co., IL

• John Rose b. 1802 (m. Catherine Craig), ME to VT & Centre Co., PA

• Samuel Sandy b. ca 1802 (m. Elizabeth Pullen), VA

• Hans Jacob Rose (m. Elizabeth) to U.S. 1749, York & Adams Cos., PA

• William Rose b. ca 1755 (m. Elizabeth Alton), Md to Fayette Co., PA

• John Rose b. 1725


Group LL


• Johannis Rose b. 1670 (m. Elizabetha), of Warwickshire, England


Group M — Hg R1b-M269

The Tormut Rose Group - Scotland to Block Island, 1632


At 25 markers, there is nothing to distinguish Group M from Group M2 (see below); at least 37 markers are needed to separate these two groups.  And please note, this ambiguous match between the two groups at 25 markers is not an indication of relationship because the match falls totally apart at 37 markers


Tormut's descendant has hundreds of matches at 25 markers, mostly in other surnames, but a few in ROSE.  At 37 markers, he has 25 matches, all in other surnames, except one ROSE — he has a 35/37 match with a descendant of Solomon R. ROSE.  At 67 markers, he has four matches, three distant ones in other surnames and a closer, but still weak, one at 63/67 with the same ROSE.  These results indicate that it's going to take testing 111 markers to shake off these coincidental matches in other surnames and to establish whether his match with this ROSE holds up or is also coincidental.  BigY-500 tests would be ideal for both ROSE descendants.


• 8400 Tormut Rose b. 1632 (m. Hannah George), Scotland to Block Island, RI [Y67]

• 252873 Solomon R. Rose (1787-1857) NY > Richland, WI [Y67; weak 63/67 match w/above]


• 72735 Frederick (Wealthy Dodge) 1794; Cornelius (Hephzibah Ann) 1817 [Y37; weak 34/37 match w/desc/o Solomon; very weak 32/37 match w/desc/o Tormut]

• 20546 George R. Rose (m. Janey) [Y25; weak match with both Group M and Group M2]


Group M1 — Hg R1b-M269

Rose Family of Burke & Buncombe Cos., NC


• Samuel Rose b. 1756 (m. Rhoda), Buncombe & Macon Cos., NC

• John Johnson Rose b. 1816 (m. 2Louisa Powell), Haywood, Macon & Cherokee Cos., NC

• Isaiah Rose b. ca 1795, NC to Washington Co., TN

• Andrew J. Rose b. 1828 (m. 1M. Neeley), Scott Co., VA to Franklin Co., AR

• Jacob Rose b. 1770 (m. Lydia Birchfield or Burchfield), Burke Co., NC to KY

• James R. Short b. 1853 (m. Martha Ellen Jordan)


Group M2 — Hg R1b-BY3301>BY30489

Rose Family of Northwestern SC


Group M2 has a very common STR haplotype with thousands of matches at 12 markers and hundreds of matches at 25 markers, including the Group M ROSE families, but mostly other surnames.  They do get separation from other ROSE families at 37 markers, but they do not have total separation from non-ROSE surnames even at 67 and 111 markers, suggesting there are probably some NPEs involved.  BigY testing will be needed to sort these out.  Bottom line:  at 25 markers, there is nothing to distinguish Group M2 from Group M, beyond geography, so an upgrade to at least 37 markers is necessary to be a genetically proven member of the group.


• 6781 Green Rose b. 1809 (m. 1Lydia Black, 2Charity E. Taylor), Laurens Co., SC [Y111; BigY=BY30489]

• 4428 George Rose b. 1795, SC to Polk Co., TN [Y111; SNP=BY3301; solid 107/111 STR match and adjacent SNP match w/above]


• 43279 George Rose (m. Tamar), Laurens Co., SC [Y25; weak match with both Group M2 and Group M]

Groups Removed from the ROSE Y-DNA Surname Project ca. Feb/Mar 2017 (DGM)

At the same time, I opened (and now administer) these nine additional projects to accomodate the removed members, namely:

                                                                Group K3

A Brown Family related to Group K prior to Immigration

These BROWNs are indeed related to the Group K ROSEs, but then, we're all related if you go back far enough.  I did a cladistic analysis of their relationship, and there's no way one family could be ancestral to the other.  In other words, if they have a common ancestor, it's probably before the period of surname adoption, not just "prior to immigration."  I see no point in them belonging in the ROSE Project, so I have removed them; they remain, as they have been, members of the BROWN Project.  Please see also the pages on the Group K, K1, K2, and K3 families at OpenRose.
