Children — born in Greene Co., PA:

This list is mainly from secondary sources and there are serious anomalies with it, so consider it highly tentative. One problem is that there is not a good fit with the children in the 1830 and 1840 censuses. The problem may be enumerator error, but I hate to dismiss the anomalies this way.

If Simon and Charles are both their sons, then Simon has to be in the wrong age class or we have a wrong birth year for him. Listed five lines from son, Syrenius/Cyrenius ROSE.

5. 1850 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #21 of 24): Lebanon Twp., District 98, Meigs Co., OH, Roll M432_710, p. 150B, 565/574, enumerated 7 Aug 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

John Rose 60 M Farmer NY

Anne     " 60 F "

Charles W " 18 M Laborer Pa

Uz        " 12 M " "

Hetty     " 6 F Ohio

Elizabeth Bowen 27 F Va

Anne is too old to be the mother of Uz and [Hester] Hetty, who are presumably orphaned grandchildren. It's even a stretch for her to be the mother of Charles, and as there is no room for a second son in this age class in the 1840 census, he may not be.

Ann and Mary could be Hester's orphaned nieces or they could be her illegitimate children.
