The Rose Family

—Richard Rose was the son of Thomas Rose (1754-1833) and Jane Topp (1757-1827).
Thomas and his family briefly settled in the Strathfield-Homebush District, before moving to Prospect for about 12 years. In 1809, Thomas bought land at Wilberforce, and around 1811 he built ‘Rose cottage’, Australia’s oldest known timber slab house in it’s original location. “Quiet, homely, unassuming and industrious, Thomas Rose belonged to that humble band of men who, in a rough and licentious age, helped to lay the foundations of ordered social life in a new country.”
