Preliminary research on this couple has yielded some information and some questions. Both Amos Rose (b. ca 1790) and his wife Mourning Evans (b. ca 1801) were born in North Carolina. It looks like they married around 1817. At some point before 1830, they removed to South Carolina, apparently to Fairfield District. The last census found so far listed the couple in 1860 in Fairfield.
There are reasons to believe Amos Rose was a son of the Franklin County, North Carolina, couple William5 Rose and his wife Rhody, both born around 1770 (and likely in North Carolina for both). This older couple removed to Richland District, South Carolina, in the same general time frame. Rhody was still alive in 1850 in the Richland District household of John Rose, surely her son.
Some researchers have suggested that the Confederate veteran William A. Rose (11 Jul 1827 Richland District, South Carolina - 31 Dec 1910 Tipton County, Tennessee) was a son of Amos Rose and Mourning Evans. This appears to be completely in error, as the couple's census does not indicate a son born in the time frame. It seems possible that the father of William A. Rose instead could have been a kinsman of Amos Rose, perhaps a brother.
Question: Does anyone know why William A. Rose has been suggested as a son of Amos Rose -- and what evidence there is of such a connection?
Sherwood Calvin Rose (7 Jul 1818 North Carolina - 1 Mar 1888 Richland County, South Carolina) looks to be the first child of Amos Rose and Mourning Evans. Anybody out there working on him?
Thanks in advance! --Carl
