▼Facts and Events
Came to Springvillle 1807, engaged in mill work. Bought mill with John Strickland after he arrived several years later. (Williams) The Hist of Susquehanna reports that he came to Susquehanna Co in 1807 from the lower part of state. His sons were Jeremiah and Samuel and his daughters married Abiathar Tuttle, Benoni Tuttle, and Oliver Gray. (Stocker)
Descendent story:
"My 3GG father married Sarah Strickland, sister of Sylvester. However, she was not my direct 3GG mother -- Jeremiah Rosencrans had a previous marriage/union that produced my 2GG father. My 2GG father was about 9 years old when Jeremiah married Sarah. Neither did he move to Susquehanna County with the rest of the family. Since his mother was an Indian (she died from typhoid about five years before the second marriage), it appears that hard feelings may have been a possible factor." -- Fred Rosencrance, 1997 (letter to Bill Strickland)
