Ed Rose Fri Feb 7 20:52:20 1997
I'm looking for a connection between James Rose who died at the Alamo in 1836 and the Roses from Franklin County, Tennessee. There was one James Rose born in 1851 but could only be Possible name sake If related. The James Rose who died at the Alamo was the nephew of President James Madison and was listed as being from Virginia and Tennessee. Most of the information I have on the Franklin Co Roses are concurrent or later than the demise of James Rose at the Alamo but their ancestors also migrated to Texas then to Oklahoma. Any information at all would be appreciated. I'll list names of some of the Roses in Franklin Co. in the file below. While listing names I noticed that George W. Rose who fought many wars ended up in Travis Co and Caldwell Co Texas in the vicinity of 1855. This is after the demise of James Rose but in the general area of San Antonio. Relatives usually follow the path of other relatives when they migrate. George W. Rose married Mary Perry the last day of August 1843 In Franklin County, Tennesse. George W was born October 24, 1823 In Franklin Co.

I am researching the Holmes family that was in Perry Co., TN in the 1820,30 and 40 census. Many of them then migrated to Van Buren and Pope Counties, AR. James Holmes was b. 1768 in SC. He applied for a REV pension from Perry, but since he was so young, he was turned down, though he had rec'd bounty land. His father was William Holmes. My line descends through James, Jr. It is possible they intermarried with the DENTON family. I would like to get in touch with others working on this line.
