John Rose was son of Samuel Rose and Sarah "Sally" Freeman Rose. He married Martha Ann Priest. Martha Ann was daughter of Celia Mullins, of Rockcastle Co. Ky. I have not found husband for Celia yet, but haven't worked on it very much. Celia also had son, John R. Priest, he may have gone by "Richard". I'm still looking for Celia and kin.
