Kinchen Langston Rose, Preacher - Teacher
By Faye Tennyson Davidson
Kinchen Langston Rose was born In Johnston County, N.C. in 1820, the 11th child of James and Jerusha McLawhorn Rose. After the death of the father in 1827 at the age of eight, he immigrated to Hardeman County with his five brothers and six sisters. This movement from North Carolina Into Tennessee is known as the "Great Migration." It nearly pre-emptied North Carolina counties, particularly Johnston and Wayne. In the new territory, Kinchen Rose bought 640 acres of land which was located partly in Tippah County, Miss. and Hardeman County. Tippah was at that time still a part of Tishomingo County, Miss. Kinchen Rose was a farmer by vocation, raising cotton, corn, and other crops. He was a preacher-teacher by avocation. He preached in the Disciples of Christ [Churches of Christ] churches. Unlike some early ministers of the faith, he had a fair education. He married first in Hardeman County Susan Jane Covington June 10, 1841. They had a son, James E. Rose, born July 9,1842. Susan Rose died shortly afterward. On October 27, 1853, he married second, Jeanette C. Cherry in Hardeman County. She was born April 21, 1836 and died August 3, 1903 in Detroit, Texas. They were parents of seven children: Clarinda born 1856, Wickliffe born 1862, Andrew born 1869, Matthew born 1858, Cass born 1865, William Kinchen born 1871, and John Henry born 1877.
Kinchen Rose told his children as they grew up, "I am not able to do much for you. but I will give you a year's schooling away from home or a good horse, saddle, and bridle." They were attending the country school about three miles from the home at the time. Either one of the choices sounded like a fortune to the boys, but they all chose to attend school for the extra year. When they completed their training, they all taught school themselves. Like their father, knowledge meant more to them than the luxury of owning a fine horse with a fine saddle and bridle. They attended Southern Tennessee Normal College at Essary Springs, which was nearby and were inspired by the teaching of Dr. Freed. Dr. Freed was instrumental in locating the school in Henderson known as Freed-Hardeman College.
*******
Kinchen Langston Rose had thoughts of having his children live near his farm and planned to give each one acreage nearby. This dream was never realized. It was a carry-over from the ideals of his ancestors who increased land holdings, by having family encircle the home place with their lands. Clarinda married and lived near home. Matthew taught school in Mississippi and Wickliffe taught school in Nashville. The other four boys moved to Texas. Kinchen Langston Rose is believed to have had a very fine sense of humor. Preston Rose heard his father, Matt, tell many stories which he often attributed to his father, which were full of laughable situations. (From "My Father's People" by F. P. Rose).
