Victor Marion Rose, historian, editor, and poet, was born on October 1, 1842, in Victoria, Texas, the third of twelve children born to Margaret (Scott) and John Washington Rose. Undoubtedly his family background influenced his interest in history. A great-grandfather, John Frederick Rose, was a veteran of the American Revolution and married Mary Washington, a niece of the first president. A grandfather commanded a company under Gen. Andrew Jackson at the battle of New Orleans. Source: The Handbook of Texas
