Erasmus Rosenberger was born 21 November 1723 in Niederzell. His godfather was his uncle Erasmus (Asmus) Rüffer. He sailed from Rotterdam on the Ranier, landing in Philadelphia September 26, 1749. He settled in Hanover Township, Lancaster (later Dauphin) County. He married Anna Catarina Kiefer, widow Baumgartner, 27 July 1756, at Hill Lutheran Church, by Rev. John Casper Stoever. Erasmus was granted the land he where he was living on Swatara Creek in December, 1761, after suffering the burning of his house and loss of livestock and goods to the Indians in an incident of the French and Indian War. Anna died and he married Regina about 1770. He moved to Virginia and bought land in Frederick (now Berkeley) County in 1776. He was listed as a member of the First Battalion of the Berkeley County Militia in 1782. He bought land in Shenandoah County in 1790, which he sold to his sons Rudolph and Anthony 29 April 1794. This is the last record we have of Erasmus, his widow took communion at St Paul's Lutheran Church in Strasburg, Shenandoah County, in October, 1798, so he died between those dates.
