Matriculated Residence to 1747 Wootton Fitzpaine, Dorset, England - Described as son of Richard of Wootton Fitzpaine in Alumni Oxonienses, and of Wootton Fitzpaine on plaque in his memory in Broadhembury Church.
Will 11 Jul 1747 Written Died 9 Jan 1747/48 - From inscription in the chancel of Broadhembury Church:
"In Memory of / Thomas Rose, of Wootton Fitz Pain in the County of Dorsett Esqr. / who Died the 9th of Jany: 1747 / Aged 68 and was Buried / in the Family Vault / in that Church.
This was Put up at the Request of / his only Child Mary the wife of / Frans. Drewe of Grange in / this Parish Esqr: who Departed / this Life the 7th Novr 1749 / Aged 34 / and was Buried in this Church.
In her Life time She was valued by Every one / At her Death Lamented by all / As She was / An Affectionate wife / A Tender Parent / A Kinde Mistress / A Sincere Friend / and / Imbraced Every Opportunity of Doing good"
(date is clearly OS, given that date that Thomas wrote his will)
(n.b. Some Old Devon Churches, by John Stabb - online here records the inscription as saying 'was buried in the vault of that church' but I have seen and photographed the monument and it clearly says 'in that Church'.)
Hutchins says that a kidney stone of 8 ounces and 1 dram was found in his kidneys. (1st edn, vol. 1, p.334)

Father Richard ROSE, b. Est 1640, d. Abt 1714 (Age ~ 74 years) Mother Mary, bur. 21 Jan 1686/87, The Parish Church, Wootton Fitzpaine, Dorset, England Family ID F8379 Family Group Page | Family Chart
Family BASTARD, d. Bef 1747 Married - Plaque in his memory notes that Mary was his only child.
In his will Thomas describes Sampson Bastard as his brother-in-law, Anna Soper as his neice and also leaves a bequest to Æneas Symons. Whilst Thomas and Sampson could be brothers-in-law in several ways, the description of Anna and mention of Æneas suggest that Thomas was married to a sister of Sampson, of Anna's mother Ann and of Æneas' mother Alice.
Thomas wife could be a sister I don't know of or Rose, for whom I have neither a marriage nor a burial. Rose seems particularly likely as Thomas's father left her a bequest but did not leave one to any of her siblings. Rose was not married at the time, and is described as the daughter of Richard's brother-in-law Bevill. Richard effectively left her £200, a not inconsiderable sum (that was the amount Bevill owed Richard, and he charged him to pay her the money). I suspect the bequest was in anticipation of a marriage between his son Thomas and Bevill's daughter Rose.
** This Bastard wife was not necessarily the mother of Thomas' daughter Mary. **
(I have seen nothing to suggest Thomas married more than once, but nor can I rule it out)
