• Immigration. 15 Jan 1793 to Sydney Cove. In August 1792, as the result of repeated requests by Governor Arthur Phillip for the dispatch of intelligent and experienced farmers, Thomas Rose and his family together with four other free settlers sailed in the ship 'Bellona' for New South Wales. Rose and his companions were the first free and independent settlers to reach Australia. They arrived in Sydney on 16 January 1793, when David Collins noted that Rose was 'the most respectable of these people, and apparently the best calculated for a bona-fide settler'.

Richard married Susannah Cross, daughter of Charles Cross and Rose Hannah Flood, on 18 Aug 1817 in Wilberforce, County of Cumberland, NSW Australia. (Susannah Cross was born in 1792 in Wilberforce, County of Cumberland, NSW Australia and died on 27 Aug 1872 in Singleton, NSW Australia.)
