Rose Lockwood
- Born: 1621, England
- Marriage (1): John Waterbury in 1638 in Watertown, Massachusetts
- Marriage (2): Joseph Garnsey on 11 May 1659 in Connecticut
- Died: 12 Feb 1684, Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticuit at age 63
 Noted events in her life were:
• Surname: May be Taylor instead of Lockwood. Taylor is given in "Jonathan Waterbury Genealogy" and at the Find a Grave site for John Waterbury and his wife Rose.
The USGENWeb site for Waterbury indicates that her last name is most likely Taylor based on the research of Paul Prindle, in his book, "Ancestry of Elizabeth Barrett Gillespie."
• Cemetery: From Find a Grave: Ridgefield, Fairfield, Connecticut. Rose Lockwood Waterbury
Birth: 1616
Combs, Suffolk, England
Death: Feb. 12, 1684
Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA
Rose was born in Combs by Stowmarket, in Suffolk.
Some sources give her surname as Taylor, but her parents were named Lockwood. I've found no evidence of a marriage to anyone named Taylor, but she may have been adopted-- the custom of changing an adoptee's surname was not established until the 18th century. John Waterbury himself may have been adopted at age 10 or so by the Lockwoods when his parents were said to have returned to England, for purposes unknown-- if they did, John's father at least returned to the New World, as he died in Boston in 1650.
A recent arrival to the debate asserts, with some degree of speculation, that Rose's last name was Purcell, and that John's father was a swordsmith who moved to Germany to ply his craft. But Sudbury was a textile town with no apparent connection to ironworking, and John's family occupation reflects this-- he was a sherman or cloth dresser.
Rose's burial with her husband is an inference I will seek evidence of when I visit cemeteries in Stamford this summer.
