From Christine Rose, Rose Family Association, GenForum post: Robert L. Rose of Ontario Co., NY was a grandson of the well-known Rev. Robert Rose of Colonial Virginia and Morayshire, Scotland, a proven line back to the Rose of Kilravock [Scotland].
and from www.rosefamilyassociation.com
One of the best chronicled Scottish Rose families is that of Rev. Robert Rose of Morayshire, Scotland and Colonial Virginia. He came to Virginia about 1725, and lived in Essex and Albemarle Counties. He was followed shortly thereafter by his brother Rev. Charles Rose of Westmoreland County, Virginia, and also by brothers Alexander and John. This family has a proven lineage to the Rose Clan of Kilravock Castle. This Castle is still in existence in Scotland near the village of Croy, and is available as an inn with wonderfully historic accommodations.
Two books have been written on this family - one older, reprinted, and one by Christine Rose - available from the website.
