Jane Pridgeon was born February 28, 1837 in Lincolnshire, England, the seventh of thirteen children of Hayes Pridgeon and Maria Robson Pridgeon. She was the last child to be born in England before her parents emigrated to Wayne County, MI about 1842. She married Ransom K. Rose in 1853 and lived in Royal Oak Township until April, 1869 when she moved with her family to a wild tract of land in the northern part of Vienna Township. The actual location of their farm was the NW corner of section 3, on the SW corner of Old Plank Rd. and County Line. They were on the Genesee / Saginaw County line and their farmhouse faced east toward Old Plank Rd. She resided there until the death of her husband, Nov 9, 1908, when she came to Clio, making her home with her eldest daughter, Mrs. Edgar Burley. (Charlotte M. Rose) She was the mother of eleven children. Related genealogy reports list her descendants known to date. The broach she is wearing in this photograph is now owned by her great-granddaughter, Patricia Ann Wallace.
