Isaac Rose
was born in 1747, this birth date was deduced from a sworn
statement Isaac Rose made on May 31, 1819 in support of
his request for a pension for his Revolutionary War
service. It
is possible, but not proven, that he was born in
Doylestown, PA.
He served in the Alexander L. Smith
Company which he joined on August 1, 1776, then serving in
Colonel Rawlings Continental Regiment, then to Colonel
Hall's 4th Maryland Regiment. He was in the battles of
Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth
and was discharged on August 9, 1779 by Captain Adamson
Tannahill.
Isaac Rose then served in the
Washington County Militia.
