ROSE, THOMAS (1749?-1833), farmer, was born at Blandford, Dorset, England. There he married Jane Topp, who bore him three sons and one daughter before 1792. In August that year, as the result of repeated requests by Governor Phillip for the dispatch of intelligent and experienced farmers, Thomas Rose and his family together with four other free settlers sailed in the Bellona for New South Wales. Rose and his companions were the first free and independent settlers to reach Australia. They arrived in Sydney on 16 th January 1793, when David Collins noted that Rose was 'the most respectable of these people, and apparently the best calculated for a bona-fide settler'. The new arrivals chose land about seven miles west of Sydney, which they called Liberty Plains, now the Strathfield-Homebush district, where Rose received first 80 and later 120 acres. Why they settled there is uncertain, for the soil was poor, and without manure was quickly exhausted, but possibly Lieut. Governor Francis Grose Paterson (q.v.) wanted to establish settlement between Sydney and Parramatta for the safety and convenience of the travelling public. Rose soon decided that they had made a hasty and bad choice of situation and according to family records they soon afterwards moved to Prospect, where, he was made an overseer in charge of the government farm and stock, and where his second daughter, Sarah, was born. He appears to have stayed at Prospect for some twelve years. He and his family then moved to more fertile lands along the Hawkersbrey River where they purchased the 30-acre grant of William Mackay near the later-named Wilberforce, which Grose began to settle in 1794. There he spent the rest of his life and became a well-known and highly respected figure, surrounded by a growing army of descendants. A son and a daughter had been born in the colony. He died on 15 November 1833 and was buried in the cemetery of St John's, Wilberforce. His wife, who predeceased him in 1827 was, according to the Sydney Gazette, the first woman to attain the status of great-grandmother in the colony since its establishment. 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.
