Thomas Rose

Notes:

**********
«i»Thomas and Jane Rose, ... came here [Australia] on the Bellona with four children (one born on the ship) in 1793. This was at the time when the colony in Sydney was starting to starve because there were no farmers, just soldiers and convicts. The Governor wrote back to England asking if some farmers could be persuaded to come out, and the Roses did. He was given land at Wilberforce, after the first land he was allocated was not good to farm. Rose Bay was theirs at one stage; the name rosella is a contraction of Rose Hill, where the original land was.

...one of the grandsons of Thomas married the daughter of a convict. «/i»
