Notes for Samuel W. Rose: The 1910 Census shows him living with Sylvanus Cooper as the father-in-law, age 78, widower, born in North Carolina, parents also born in North Carolina and able to read and write.
His license for marriage with Mathala Cutrell McKinney dated October 16, 1876 lists his name as Sampson and his parents as William and Agga Rose.
There is some evidence that Sampson and Samuel are brothers, maybe twins.
I really need to straighten out Samson and Samuel as well as who is married to Mathala Cutrell McKinney.
Listed in 1850 Cherokee Co., N.C. census just before Isaiah Rose, Samuel 19, Rachael 21, William M. 1/12, all b. N.C., HH 191/191 p. 15, Murphy twp.
