John C. Rose (q.v.) reportedly registered enslaved people as guardian to his daughters between 1824 and 1832 in St James and was shown as tenant-in-possession of Waterloo over the same period. Two of these daughters appear in the same normally reliable genealogical sources as the daughters of John Cross Rose.
