Rose Archer (1769-1799) known as Crone was an American satanist who lived in Sleepy Hollow.
Biography[]
Rose was born in 1769, one of the two daughters of a happily married couple living in a cottage near Sleepy Hollow. When Rose was still a little girl, her father unexpectedly died for some unknown reason, and the family's landlord Sir Peter Van Garrett, evicted them and sold their home to the Van Tassel family. Due to Rose's mother being suspected of doing witchcraft, no one in the town was willing to take the Archers in, so the Archers took refuge in the Western Woods. Rose's mother later died within a year afterward, forcing Mary and her sister to scrounge for themselves in the Western Woods. One day, while gathering firewood, Rose and her sister ran into the bloodthirsty Hessian hiding from a group of American soldiers. Despite the Hessian's gesture to be quiet, her sister Mary gave him away to his pursuers by snapping a stick into two while Rose ran away in fear. In 1799, she was killed by her sister due to his help to Ichabod Crane in the case.
