(note: John Frederick Rosenberger sold the land in 1787 that he received from his father Erasmus, in Berkley C., W Va. John's will is one file at Charles Town, West Va.) His father Erasmus Rosenberger appears on the personal property tax list of Berkeley County from the beginning of the Records in 1783 through 1789.

About 1790 Erasmus and his family moved again, this time further south to Shenandoah County and purchased 328 acres a short distance west of Strasburg from Henry and Rosena Felkner. Source: Shenandoah County Deed book G pages 477 - 479.

Their neighbours were Philip Peter Baker to the North, The Brubecks to the west (Erasmus's son Jacob married Elizabeth "Betsy" Brubeck/Brodbeck) and the Funkhousers to the south. Erasmus and Regina deeded this land to his sons Anthony and Rudolph in 1794. He bought land in Shenandoah County in 1790, which he sold to his sons Rudolph and Anthony 29 April 1794.
