The name Miner Rose rings a bell for me. Will have to do some digging to see what I have on the Rose family. As you can see by the date of my query, it's been awhile since I worked on this line. I see that Reason is one of your surnames. The Reason family of Livingston and Ingham Counties is also connected to my family, and I know of someone who has done a lot of research on that Reason line.
