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 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 progenitor.  You 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 EE — Hg R1b-M269

Possible Link to Channel Islands

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

• 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]

Group W — R1b-M269

Samuel Rose of Berkeley Co., WV & Harrison Co., OH; Rosen of Germany

Neither of these two ROSEs has a match w/ROSEN at any level.  Both of these ROSEs have hundreds of matches at 25 markers, all in other surnames, except for the one ROSE match with each other.  Obviously, both of these individuals need to upgrade to at least 67 markers, and it's a good bet these turn out to be CLARK NPEs.
