ROSE HILL
The community of Rose Hill was created in
1954. The land was part of an 18th century
plantation known as Rose Hill, established
by Daniel French, the builder of Pohick
Church. The house was the site of a raid by
Confederate Maj. John S. Mosby on 28 Sept.
1863. On that occasion French Dulany, one
of Mosby's raiders, captured his own father,
Col. Daniel F. Dulany, who remained loyal
to the Union. the original frame house was
destroyed by fire in 1895.
