Notes for Lewis Rosecrans:

Lewis Rosecrans was born May 7, 1840, in Washington Co, OH, the son of Levi and Darci Rosecrans. Though a farmer by occupation, during the Civil War Lewis was a private in Company "a" 1st Regiment Iowa Cavalry, Union Army. He enlisted 13 June 1861 at Keokuk, Iowa and was honorably discharged 7 September 1864 at Davenport, Iowa. He furnished his own horse and equipment during his service. The War Department records give his description as being 5' 10", dark complexion, hazel eyes, and brown hair. Lewis married Lucy Columbus Smith on 22 January 1865 at Bradyville, Iowa. They farmed in Nodaway County Missouri (four miles from Bradyville). After the opening of the Oklahoma Territory (1889) Lewis sold the Missouri farm (6 February 1890) and traveled to Erin Springs, near Linsay, Oklahoma. There he worked on a ranch until the fall of 1890. He came to Spring Creek Township and purchased the quarter (160 acres) seven 7 miles west and a half a mile north of Britton Oklahoma. Soon after his more to Oklahoma, Lewis suffered a stroke and was an invalid until his death on 9 June 1894 (at the age of 54). Lewis and Lucy had six children. The son of William Rosecrans is buried near Lewis and Lucy. Lucy's mother, Almina Smith, and her sister Catherine are also buried at Olive Hill (lot 57).

9. Nancy Simpson⁹³, born Abt. 1770 in Beverly, Randolph Co, VA; died 18 Nov 1847 in Beverly, Randolph Co, VA.

Notes for Hezekiah Rosecrans:

Hezekiah Rosencrance/Rosekrans was one of the early settlers of Randolph County and was the progenitor or all the Rosencrances in Randolph County if not the state of WV. He came to Randolph Co. between 1782 and 1784. He appears in the Hampshire Co. census in 1782 with a family of 4 and was in Jacob West fall, Sr. list of all white men in his former militia company area in 1784 which included what is now Randolph County. Hezekiah was twice married. He married first Margriet Westfall. The only proof of this marriage is in the will of Jacob West fail in which he bequeath to Margriet Westfall, wife of Hezekiah Rosenkrans. According to Westfall historians, this Jacob Westfall was the grandfather of Margriet. I do not know what happened to Margriet and any children they may have had, but she was gone by 4 May 1795, when he married Nancy Simpson, daughter of John Simpson. According to the 1810 census of Randolph and later census records, none of the children could have been born before 1795. So, Nancy was the mother of all his living children. Hezekiah's will is on record at the Randolph County Court House. It was written 20 Feb. 1819 and probated in April 1819. Where he is buried is uncertain. Some descendants say he is buried at the Arnold Hill Cemetery near the Elkins airport, but it is believed by this descendant that he is buried in a family cemetery on the Georgetown Road near his "plantation" home. Many years ago a hand hewn fieldstone with markings --legible to some extent with a magnifying glass-indicated it marked a grave of a Rosekrans born 19 Aug 1741 or 1747. Since he was the only Rosencrance in this area ham that early, it is assumed it was his burial place. The stone today is now gone, broken and trampled in the mud by cattle some years ago. Does it make a difference what year he was born? Of course it does! His father, Jacobus/James, was also married twice. If Hezekiah was born in 1741, his mother would have been Sarah Decker. If he was born in 1747, which a descendant of Solomon Rosenkrans, the youngest child and brother to Hezekiah says, then he is the son of James and Katherine Cole/Cool Rosenkrans. Nancy was much younger than Hezekiah by 20 or 30 years. We are fairly certain she is buried at the Arnold Hill Cemetery. The only thing we know about her death is an entry in the George McLean Diary on December 17& 18 1847, which states "18 inches Deep on the 18 Cleered up warm Mother Rosecrovnce Departed this Liffe". Entry made on December 19, 1847, "made a coffin price 5 $." We believe the reference to "Mother Rosecrovnce" must have been Nancy as she would have been the only Rosencrance woman old enough to be called "Mother Rosencrance" by her friends and neighbors.

   Notes for John Rosencrans:

   Notes for Margaret Rosencrans:

   Margaret was born about 1806/1810 (She was 54 yrs. old in 1860 and 40 yrs. old in 1850 census records). She married Currence Wilmoth, son of Nicholas and Sidney (Currence) Wilmoth. They lived in Gilmer County in 1860 census and believed to be buried there. Currence Wilmoth was living with their son in the 1880 census of Gilmer County and Margaret was gone.

8. Prudence Rosencrans^105,106,107, born 1811 in Beverly, Randolph Co, VA; died Bet. 1860 - 1890 in VA?.

9. Susanna Rosencrans^{108,109,110,111}, born 1813 in Beverly, Randolph Co, VA; died 29 Mar 1891 in Custer Co, NE; married Jesse Canfield Wilmoth; born 1790 in VA; died 03 Feb 1893 in Custer Co, NE.

   Notes for Susanna Rosencrans:

   Lusanna (Susan) was born about 1813, married Jesse C. Wilmoth. They lived in Gilmer County, WV and both are buried there. They were close neighbors of her sister Margaret. Then there was Sarah!! All census records and Hezekiah's will listed only 11 children. But, on September 10, 1832, a Sarah Rosencrance married Jesse Canfield naming her father as Hezekiah. Even the Canfield Family History named Jesse Canfield as the son of Daniel Canfield and that he married Sarah Rosencrance, but nothing more was known of them. No further trace of them until 1854 when Jesse Canfield and wife "Susan" residents of Gilmer County, WV, sold 50 acres of land on Shavers Mountain to Bushrod Coberly. The deed stated it was the same land deeded to Jesse and Susan in 1837 by Levi N. Wilmoth. I then looked at the deed made in 1837 and sure enough, the deed was made to Jesse C. Wilmoth and wife Susan for 50 acres on Shavers Mountain. So the mystery of Sarah Rosencrance and Jesse Canfield is finally solved. There was no Sarah Rosencrance or Jesse Canfield. Susanna, was nicknamed Susan and Jesse C. Wilmoth was Jesse Canfield.

11. William Rosencrans¹¹⁵, born 1819 in Beverly, Randolph Co, VA; died 1867 in Webster Station, Grafton Co, VA.

    Notes for William Rosencrans:

    William was born 1819 after the death of his father. He is listed in the 1840 census with his mother. I have been unable to find out what happened to him after that date. Some say he died at Webster Station, Grafton, WV, of a fever on his way home from the Civil War. On 27 September 1841 William deeded 100 acres of land to Joseph Hart. This was the land willed to him by his brother, Eli. This land is now part of the Rich Mountain Battlefield. These were called the Sugar Creek lands in the will of Hezekiah.

Notes for Jacobus Rosecrans from: www.rosenkrantz-genealogy.org:

JACOBUS ROSENKRANS and Sara Dekkr had six children, and by Catharine Cole he had two children.

JACOBUS ROSENKRANS, second son of Dirk (9), was baptized in Rochester March 17, 1706, and married "Sara Dekker" about 1728. She was probably a granddaughter of the emigrant of the Decker family, Jan Gerretsen Decker, from Heerden Gelderland, Holland, who married in New York, Grietjen Hendrick Westercamp, 1664. He had sons, Hermanus and Hendrick, and perhaps others, but we have found only the family of Hendrick. Jacobus Rosenkrans’ wife Sara probably died about 1746, as he was received into the church at Machackemech (Port Jervis) September 18, 1746, and as a widower married Catharine Cole, January 13, 1748. The church records show that December 29, 1764, he had charge of certain church property kept in a "chest." As he was the first Rosenkrans settler near the Delaware, in New York, so his sons and grandsons were the first settlers in the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania, and in Delaware County, Ohio. His son Daniel purchased, in Pennsylvania, about 1767, and his son John purchased in Ohio, 1810. He has many descendants in Pennsylvania and Ohio and states to the westward. He had seven children: Helena, Blandina, Daniel, Gertje and Johannis by his first wife, and Alida and Saloman by his second
