Robert was one of the group considered to be Puritans.
Robert and Margery settled in an Indian settlement known as Pyquag, which was soon renamed Watertown. The name was changed to Wethersfield in 1635. Robert is seen in many original land records and histories of the town. He was constable in 1640 and Representitive in 1641-1643 in Wethersfield. He was a Freeman in Stratford in 1648..
Some time between 1644 and 1646, Robert and some of his children moved to Branford, CT. It is believed that he had a tiff with the minister of the Congregational Church in Wethersfield, and that is one of the reasons he and several of his neighbors decided to move. He is also seen in many deeds and town records in Branford, CT..
In John Camden Hotten's The Original Lists of Persons of Quality (pp. 177-180), is a list of the passengers of the Francis (John Cutting, Master) which embarked from Ipswich, England "bound for new England" the last of April 1634.

From www.familyorigins.com/users/b/l/o/Peter-E-Blood/FAMO5-0001/d50.htm:
"It is 'quite probable' that Robert Rose settled first in Watertown, MA. There were several Watertown families that soon after removed to Whethersfield, CT.
He served as a soldier about 1637 in Pequot Indian War (1637). He was Constable, member of various town committees between 1639 and 1640 in Wethersfield, Connecticut Colony. Robert was on the following committees:1639: viewed lands for settlement at what is now Farmington1640: recommended improvements for cultivation and the keeping of cattle.
He purchased 20 acres of land (he now had 40) in 1640 in Wethersfield. He resided southeast side of Broad Street between 1640 and 1650 in Wethersfield... Robert was one of the largest owners of 'adventurers lands.' He was Representative, Deputy to General Court in Hartford between 1641 and 1643... Robert chose to moved to Totoket (later Branford) the following year..about 1644.
Robert was one of the original proprietors of Branford... Robert Rose also had one of the three greatest acreages of land of any man in town. He had become a wealthy man... He died between 25 Aug 1664 and 4 Apr 1665 in Branford, New Haven, CT. On this date, his will was presented in court. He left, according to his inventory, £826 (wealthiest man in town) included house and land (£260), 2 bulls and furniture..."
