  • Name John Michael Roseberry 
    • John Roseberry, born April 28, 1761, died June 20, 1853 (or August 20, 1855), buried with his wife in the old Point Pleasant Cemetery, Mason County, West Virginia. He had removed from Greene County to Mason County, (West) Virginia in 1812, and was living there in 1832 when he applied for a pension for services in the Revolution. His application said he enlisted in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, on September 1, 1776, serving until 1781, during which time he took part in the battles of Princeton and Trenton. He wintered with Washington's Army at Valley Forge and was with the Army when Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown. John Roseberry married Florence Cree, daughter of Robert and Janet Cree. It is not known where they were married nor is the date shown. Robert and Janet Cree were living in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania at the time of the Revolution, but settled on land near John Swan's Fort soon afterwards. If John Roseberry married before the end of the Revolution it would confirm residence of the Roseberrys on the Juniata, prior to their settlement in the Tenmile Country.(from "The Tenmile Country and its Pioneer Families" by Howard Leckey.
