Author: Mark Andrew Davis

Dr. Samuel Rose was born on 17 March 1748 in Coventry, Connecticut, the son of Dr. Josiah and Eunice (Meacham) Rose.

He was married on 30 December 1773 to Elizabeth Hale, the eldest sister of Nathan Hale. Their known children were: Joseph, born 17 September 1774; Nathan, born 18 January 1776; Fanny, born 4 January 1779 (wife of Sanford Hunt).

During the Revolutionary War, he was among the men of Coventry who turned out on Alarm at Lexington, Massachusetts, under the command of Captain Elias Buell.

Later, he served as an Army Surgeon. He became ill in the early winter of 1780 and returned to his home, where he died a few days later.

Dr. Rose died on 4 November 1780 at Coventry, Connecticut, and was buried there at the Nathan Hale Cemetery.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.

Additional Information:
  • Older DAR and SAR applications state that he rendered aid as a surgeon; however, there is no primary evidence for this
  • In addition, his testimony under oath in his pension application makes no mention of any service as a doctor or surgeon
