======================================= Source: HISTORY OF WYOMING CO., NY BY: F. W. BEERS, 1880 ======================================= Alonzo B. Rose was born in the town of Lisle, Broome Co.,NY, Feb. 7th, 1799. In 1818 he came to Castile, Wyoming Co.,NY. Subsequently to his arrival here he devoted a portion of his time to teaching, he was in fact one of the pioneers in Webster, Daboll, Morse and Murray. Mr. Rose was married in 1824 to Miss FAITHFUL GROENDYCKE of Lima, Livingston Co.,NY. They had six children, three sons and three daughters, all of whom grew to maturity. Two of the daughters still survive. One of the sons was instantly killed near the close of the "Seven Day's fight" in front of Richmond. Judge Rose was elected to the office of magistrate the first year the people were trusted with such responsibility, and successively thereafter till 1841, when he was made associate justice. He was, however, still later chosen magistrate from time to time, until he had held that office nearly or quite a quarter of a century. He was elected to the Assembly in 1853 and 1854, serving each term to the entire satisfaction of his constituency. He has held many minor offices, and was one of the stalwarts in the temperance enterprise. --------------------------------------------- I am not researching this family.
