Milton Cemetery, Milton, Massachusetts

Robert Vose was born in about 1599 in Garstang, Lancashire, England to parents Thomas Vose and Margery Burscoe Vose. Jane Moss was born on Nov. 11, 1602 in Chidwall, Lancashire, England. They married on July 25, 1629 in Chidwall. 

Robert and Mary had at least five children - large gaps in the birth years might indicate infants lost at or soon after birth.  All five recorded children were born in England. 
                William         b. 1630        d. 1669
                Edward         b. 1636        d. 1716
                Elizabeth       b. 1639        d. 1675
                Thomas         b. 1641         d. 1701
                Martha           b. 1647        d. 1686

The first known record of the Vose family in Massachusetts is a land transaction. Robert, a "gentleman of Dorchester" purchased about 500 acres of land in Dorchester for 360 British pounds on July 13, 1654. 

Robert Vose was one of three petitioners asking for their land in Dorchester to become a new town, Milton. Their petition was granted,  and on June 11, 1662, Milton became a town. At that time, Vose was the largest land owner in Milton. 

In 1664, Robert gave eight acres of his property to found the church in Milton. The first pastor of that church was Rev. Peter Thacher, and Robert was the first member. 

In 1655, according to Dorchester town records, Robert and his two sons were "running the Lyne", meaning surveying and setting boundaries in the town. He served on many committees in Milton, and was elected Selectman at least twice. 

On October 16, 1675, Jane Moss Vose died. Robert Vose died on October 11, 1683. Both were buried in the Milton Cemetery, but no grave markers exist today.

Welcome!

Welcome to my genealogy blog! I'm just getting started, but I hope to share family trees, facts, and stories I've uncovered while researching my family and Dave's family. So, I will be posting family trees for the ancestors of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr.,  Ruth Ann Bradley, Roy Ellsworth Stricker, and Anna Elnora Rosemeyer,  My genealogy is a work in progress, and although I strive for accuracy, and have at least one (usually several) historical record to back up each name and relationship, I do make revisions from time to time. My goal for each branch is to trace direct ancestors at leas as far as the first immigrant to the U.S.  I'm new at blogging, so please be patient - I'm learning as I go. Again, welcome! Starla

Rosemeyer Family Tree - Friederick Rosemeyer and Eleanor Kolling

Friederich Rosemeyer  and Eleanor Kolling - Immigrants to Indianapolis Family Connection - great-grandfather and great-grandmother to Anna Rosemeyer Friederich Rosemeyer was born in Germany on Aug. 25, 1844.  I haven't found a marriage record (yet!) but in 1873, he immigrated to the U.S. with his wife Eleanor, age 31, daughter Christine, age 4, and son Friederich, age 11 months. They arrived in New York on September 19th. I assume they traveled by train to Indianapolis from New York City.  Why Indianapolis? We may never know for sure, but it is likely they came because they had connections to other members of Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church (now Zion United  Church of Christ). Indianapolis had a large German immigrant community, and at Zion, they worshipped in German until at least 1928, when the first services in English occurred.  Friederich and Eleanor had six children:     Christina      1869-1875     Frederick  ...
