Mother of Albert Edward Rose.
She is buried in the same lot, and does not have any monument. The stone beside where the flowers are is his, and his wife. I have placed flowers on the spot a monument would be if she had one to mark the spot where she is reting.

Martha Westbrook Rose was born in Delaware Township, Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada, 10 May 1811, to Andrew Westbrook or Wesbrook and his first wife Sarah Hull. Her father Andrew, although a prosperous farmer and businessman living in Ontario, Canada, sided with the Americans during the War of 1812 and served with the Michigan Rangers, leading raids into his old neighborhoods along the Thames River Valley. After the war he was given vast properties in St. Clair County, Michigan Territory, as compensation for his loses in Canada. Martha was the youngest of a family of four brothers. Her mother Sarah died when Martha was a very little girl after the sleigh in which she was riding fell through the ice on the Detroit River. Martha’s father Andrew married again and had five more children, this time four daughters and one son. He was a highly respected citizen of the early days of St. Clair County, Michigan, and lived along the St. Clair River in today’s East China Township. Martha married Edward Haney Rose in Michigan before 1829 when their first child was born. Edward was from Pennsylvania and also an early settler of St. Clair County. They moved from Michigan to Virginia (now West Virginia) to Illinois, and settled in Bates County, Missouri, by 1870. They were the parents of 8 children. By 1880 Martha was widowed and living with her daughter Bertha in Mount Pleasant, Bates County, Missouri. Bertha and her husband Daniel Meredith are also buried in Hazelwood Cemetery, as well as son Albert Edward Rose and his wife Clara.

Aenderis Westbrook, b. June 17, 1773.
Married first, Sally Hull; second, Nancy Thorn Geel.

In the 20th Congress, 1st Session, December 19, 1827, House Bill.

The narratives, as follow, are from the history of ; St. Clair County, Michigan. Its History and its People, by William Lee Janks, Vol. I, 1912. Page 160
The settlers on the border of Lake and River St. Clair were, at the breaking out of the war, compelled to remove all their stock of horses, cattle , and hogs to Detroit ( to protect such from the Indians), when all were consumed, and while many were deliberating how, and where they were to be supplied, Captain Aandrew Westbrook went to the state of Ohio and purchased cattle, selecting such as were most required to meet the immediate wants of the inhabitants; this he continued to do until all were supplied. As Captain Westbrook was in his day a very prominent man in St. Clair county, I, (Aura P. Stewart, born in Canadaigua, N.Y., 20 May, 1804), will here mention a few incidents of his life.
Before the war with England, he was a wealthy farmer and business man, residing near the Moravian town on the river Thames. In his immediate neighborhood, there lived one Major Tawsby, who was an aspirant for government favors. At the breaking out of the war with the British government, took immediate steps to organize the militia of Canada, and at such organization Tawsby received a major's commission, and Westbrook was offered a captain's commission under Tawsby, which he immediately refused. Westbrook was born in the state of New York and his sympathies were with the American cause; and he, on the appointment of his enemy, Tawsby, determined to leave Canada and join the Americans; he had counted the consequences of this act; and, knowing that the confiscation of his valuable property would follow, he collected his goods together and all that he could not remove, he burned with his house and barn.
On Westbrook's arrival in Detroit, he stated his case to Governor Hull and received a Captain's commission as was found to be a very useful man in the commissary department in collecting supplies for the troops. There were many reconnoitering parties sent up the river Thames during the war, or before the surrender of Detroit, and Captain Westbrook, learning that Major Tawsby was at home, surrounded his house and took him prisoner. The hatred that Westbrook and Tawsby bore towards each other was mutual and violent. After this reconnoitering party had gone into camp for the night, and the guns all stacked, Tawsby seized a musket and made a lunge at Westbrook with intent to kill him, but in the act he stumbled and the bayonet entered Westbrook's boot; for this act Tawsby was put in irons until he reached Detroit.
Captain Westbrook, at the close of the war, purchased a farm of a Frenchman joining the Rocor farm and other lands adjoining from which he made on of the best farms then in St. Clair county. Our first representatives in congress from the territory of Michigan made know to that body the loss of Captain Westbrook's property in Canada, and on such representatives an act was passed granting him two sections of land, which he selected mostly in the township of Clay, in St. Clair county, which lands passed through several purchases and now comprise the valuable farms of Sava and Dana Richardson. Pioneers of St Clair county adds; "Through the influence of Major Tawsby, Captain Westbrook was imprisoned twice. The first charge was that "Hulls proclamation was found in his house," which was not considered sufficient evidence to hold him. The second time, a false charge was framed to imprison him. He was assisted by friends to escape to Detroit.
In June 1826, Thomas L. McKenney, United States commissioner of Indian affairs, on this way from Detroit to the Indian tribes near the head waters of the Missippi in the schooner "Ghent" was becalmed not far from the Westbrook farm. In company with Colonel Oroghan, Westbrooks old commander, McKenney called upon Westbrook, whom he described as being:
"about six feet two inches tall, his hair once sandy or rather fox colored, but the fierceness of the reddish cast now softened by an intermixture of gray. A fine face, the features moderate in size, and well proportioned, the expression of the countenance mild but firm. He has a quick moving intelligent eye; his form is good, with broad shoulders and chest. He has no education, yet talks well and is precise and graphic in his expressions." He was then in his fifty fifth year, married to his second wife, and had a family of fourteen children, (four of their step children named Geel). If he once resolves upon the accomplishment of any object he is sure to realize it; the means are more materials to be judged of by his conceptions of right, and these are generally made to obey the impulses of the moment come from what quarter or involve what consequences they may."
He died in 1835 at the age of 64.

Yesterday I believe found my Rose kindred. I had recently located Royal Rosamond’s little book ‘At Matha Healey’s Grave’ that I published in 1998 under Royal Rosamond Press Co. I had got a copy of this book from a library, and took it to a printer. I gifted the University of Oregon with a copy of just twenty books. I was too poor to afford more. I intended this copy for my freind Edwin Corbin, but, realized I had no copy for myself, and kept it.On the first page we have a ‘Pictorial Biography’ of my mother’s father, born Frank Wesely Rosamond. Royal is a pen name. Royal appears to be about one and half years of age. He and my grandson, Tyler Hunt, look like brothers. The caption reads’
“If my parents hada knowed it – that one so serious would turn out to be a humorist – they never would have growed it.”
This book of nine pages is part of Royal’s ‘Humor Of The States Series’. I think the reason Frank is looking glum, is, his folks put him in a dress!
On the inside back of the cover we find a ‘Thumbnail Biography Of Royal Rosamond’ that reads;“John Rose, R.R.’s grandfather, a saw-mill man, settled with his daughter, Ida Lousisiana Rose, in Butler Missouri, right after the Civil War. Later, Mr. Rose bought a farm four miles west of Butler, on the Miami.
Mr’s Rosamond, a widow, migrated to Butler from Mississippi, with her four sons and a daughter. Her youngest son, William Thomas, met and fell in love with Ida. Married, they were provided with a cabin on a corner of the John Rose farm, where Royal, on December 18th. 11881, was born.”
Royal does not give the name of his grandmother, the widow of William Thomas, whose surname was Rosamond, but she is Frances Morrison. As for the name Ida Lousiana Rose, my Rosamond kindred might hold a record for odd names befitting backwoods folk, such as Fanny Lou Rosamond. But, when you ask what is in a name, you discover the name Fanny means “from France”. Does Lou stand for Louisiana?
We even have a Homer Rosamond which might make the Rosamond family the quintessential American Family, especially when my kindred were named after Francis Marion ‘The Swamp Fox’ who parents were Huguenots, as was the progenitor of the Rosamond family who may have come from Rougemont Switzerland, a city that was once a part of France. Frank Wesely Rosamond was named after Francis, and descends from James Rosamond, who allegedly fought alongside Samuel Rosamond, who served as a Captain in the Revolutionary War under Marion.
