Brookhaven, Long Island, Suffolk County, New York is where this Rose Family lived for many years. Robert was born there about 1690. Early English settlers farmed, fished, and hunted whales in this largely agrarian hamlet. Abigail Nin was born in Long Island City of Queens County, New York around 1694. Strangely, their marriage record shows that they were married about 1715 in Berkely County, Virginia which seems awfully far away. They had five sons who were all apparently born in Long Island. Their names were Robert, Jesse, Daniel, Jonathan or "Nathan", and David (1721-1781) who is our ancestor.
Robert and Abigail bought property at Bellport in Suffolk County in 1720. But, seventeen years later, the family moved to Bethlehem Township in Hunterdon, New Jersey where again the landscape was mainly rural in nature, featuring farms and forests, scattered with farm homes. Robert and Abigail remained at this residence for the rest of their lives. Robert died at age 61 in 1751. Abigail's death date is unknown.
