Biography
Rose Dixon was born in Ireland to Henry and Rose Dixon in 1661. She came to America with her brother William, her sister Dinah, and her widowed mother when "he joined the Quaker emigration from Ireland and came again to America, to William Penn's Colony of Pennsylvania, in that portion which now is Delaware, in 1688."[1] They were members of the Newark Monthly Meeting in New Castle, Delaware, where Rose married the widower Thomas Pierson in 1690. Thomas was a Deputy Surveyor of New Castle county Del.[2]
They had two daughters, Rose and Susanna.
Rose Pierson died in 1722.[3]
Quakers in Delaware in the Time of William Penn (http://nc-chap.org/church/quaker/standingDH3crop.pdf), by Herbert Standing, says that Rose Dixon came to America with her brother and widowed mother. It also says that Thomas Pierson, son of Susanna Pierson, married Rose Dixon after the death of his first wife:
Pierson married Rachel Sharpley in 1686, but she died the following year. In 1690 he married Rose Dixon. He had two daughters, Susanna and Rose, who married brothers, John and Aaron Mendenhall.
