Family Friday: Rose


This is a family Bible that I have had in my possession for several years. This Bible was printed in 1812. It is the family Bible of Timothy Rose that was born 1 Jun 1762 in Granville, Massachusetts. He was a member of the Licking Company that founded Granville, Ohio. He was also a Revolutionary War soldier. The Bible contains the Apocrypha and family records.

I have contacted the Rose Family Association in an attempt to return the Bible to the Rose Family.

ETA: I decided to donate the Timothy Rose Family Bible to the Granville Historical Museum. The museum was very pleased with the donation.
