Been working on Jeremiah Rose for a few years now, with very few hints. However recently, ground has been broken, and it looks like we're onto something.
The known facts up until recently:
Jeremiah Rose
Born: 5 Jan, 1808
Married Margaret Vanbevers: 25 Apr 1840
Died: 9 Apr, 1880, Valley Twp, Scioto, Ohio
Children:
Abner Rose - appears to be from an earlier marriage, as he is 6 years old at the time Jeremiah married Margaret
With Margaret: John, William, James, Jane, Henry, Abigail, Anna Pauline, Abraham, Mary, George Wesley, Rebecca
About 1 year ago, I received some images from a family bible. One of the pages had these names and birthdates listed consecutively:
James Rose - April 9, 1804
Rachel Foster - Apr 28, 1806 (A Rachel Rose married William Foster in 1825 in Gallia County, Ohio)
Jeremiah Rose - Jan 5, 1808
Joel Rose - Feb 28, 1810
Jonathan Rose - Jul 15, 1812
Rhoda Rose - Apr 25, 1819
I then got busy with some other brick walls, and forgot about these bible pages. Recently, I started looking at Jeremiah again, and contacted some other researchers who had posted some queries in online message boards. We put our information together, and it seems like we may have Jeremiah's parents solved.
1840 census: Warren County, Indiana - has a James Rose and Joel Rose
James Rose died in Hamilton County, Illinois in 1859. An abstract from his obituary (found at the Tri-State Genealogical and Historical Society) states that his father died in the War of 1812 in Detroit Michigan, and that his mother died when he was 17 years old. It also states that he was born in Montgomery County, Virginia.
A Jason Rose died in 1814 during the War of 1812. He enlisted from Gallia County, Ohio. About the time that Jason Rose disappears from the tax lists, a Sarah Rose starts appearing.
1820 Census - Gallia County, Ohio - Sarah Rose, with six others in the household that match up perfectly with the names listed above.
In Pension application documents, children of Jason Rose are mentioned as being in Warren County, Indiana.
Seems like a pretty good match to me.
Some online trees show Jason Rose marrying Sarah Elswick. However, none of these trees provide any actual evidence that her maiden name was Elswick.
For Sarah's family, I'm looking to the names in her probate file. Administrator: James Romine, Securities: Philip Adkins and Masten Perkins. I'm thinking that she may be related to at least one of these 3 individuals.
I have found that:
James Romine died in Hamilton County, Illinois - same place as James Rose.
A William Rose married a Mary Adkins, who may be sister to Philip Adkins.
John Rose is there, came from Montgomery, Virginia, and is named in Sarah Rose's probate papers. Her probate also mentions Zachariah Rose and William Rose.
Many an online tree shows John Rose and Zachariah Rose as sons of Edward Rose. Now to see how Jason connects to these men. DNA tests from descendants of Jason, John and Zachariah all point to Joseph Rose of Marshfield Massachusetts.

Alpheus Bugbee and Lucretia Foster
OK, time to start a Genealogy Blog.
This first post is going to center around Lucretia, wife of Alpheus Bugbee.
Alpheus & Lucretia resided in Putney, Windham Vermont in the early 1800's. Per the Vital Records of Putney, Vermont to the year 1900, by Ken Stevens, Alpheus Bugbee & Lucretia Foster were married 30 Jul 1797 in Putney. The following Bugbee children had birth or baptisms recorded in this book, as children of Alpheus:
Sally, Alpheus (Jr), Lucretia (Jr), Erastus Lovell, Mary, Chloe Parker, Israel Grovesner, Susannah, Bela, Cyrus Fernald and an apparent adopted child - Reuben Smead.
So, the name of the wife of Alpheus Sr is being listed as Lucretia Foster, born about 1772. This would put her age at approx 25 years at the time of the birth of Reuben Jr.. Many women at this time were marrying at a younger age. I am considering that Lucretia's maiden name may not be Foster, and that Foster may be the surname of a first husband. If not Foster, then what? How about Smead?
Looking at the clue provided by the adopted child, Reuben Smead. Reuben was born 1 Sep, 1797 in Putney. Other researchers are showing Reuben's parents to be Reuben Smead Sr and Lucy Church. Reuben Sr was born 26 Sep, 1764, in Franklin County, Massachusetts, and died 13 Oct, 1798 in Putney. The 1800 census shows other Smeads in Putney. Could be siblings or other relatives of Reuben Sr. Why was Reuben Jr adopted by Alpheus & Lucretia, and not by other apparent Smead relatives? What if Lucretia was the sister of Reuben Sr? Looking further, the Vital Records of Greenfield (Franklin County) Massachusetts, and other sources, show a couple of Lucretia Smeads born around the time to be the right age for our Lucretia, and related to Reuben Smead.
This needs more investigating.
