2Fay Family Homepage, http://www.gamblinfamily.org/fay/park_files/laura_sophia_brigham.html. "Jonathan Brigham married his cousin, Mary Fay. He settled in what was a part of the Thomas Brigham Estate in Marlboro, Massachusetts. He was prominent in his community and held offices of responsibility. He was commonly called the "Indian Warrior". One day while chopping in the woods, he saw a savage preparing to take aim at him; he seized his musket, stepped forward in full view, exclaiming as he did so, "Shoot straight, you dog". Both fired at the same moment, then the Indian dropped his gun, and with a tremendous whoop, bounded high into the air and fell dead. The Indian's bullet passed close to the ear of Jonathan, who escaped unhurt."

I found the following item at the Owasco Cayuga Lakes Historical Society in the Rosecrans files. It is a transciption of a letter written by a daughter of Julia Ann Rosecrans White. I'm going to track down the person who has it to see if they have any other information.
This is a copy of a letter that I found in an old trunk in grandad's attic. I shall copy it exactly as it is written.
Owasco, NY April 11th 1881.
Mr. Burkes
or
Burlees
or
Burhes
Dear Sir,
Please excuse the liberty I take in addressing a few lines to you a stranger. I have always thought I would like to write to some of my relatives in England. if I only knew who & where to write too and seeing your name annexed to the will of Marion Wilson & thinking perhaps you might be a brother of hers. She was a cousin to my father whos name was Johnathan White, son of John H.[Harris] White who married Hannah Parker of England, they having 12 children, their names were Isabella, Ruth, Mary, Matthew, Jonathan, John, Hannah, Jane, Sarah, Joseph, Issac, Thomas, the youngest & grandma [Hannah Parker] died in England.
[here the transcriber mentions he/she left out 2 pages of the letter]
Aunt Ruth did to I believe. Grandpa [John Harris White] was educated by an uncle that he was named after. his uncle at his death left him a dower after receiving it Jane [White, daughter of John Harris White] married my brother [Coonrod Rosekrans] who resided in Moravia at the time of her death which occurred in 1875 or 76. Sarah married by the name of Brown resided in Wisconsin at the time of her death Joseph married a lady by the name of Putney resided at Cayuga. Thomas married a lady by the name of Whitcomb resides at Cayuga Co. New York. Now I have given you a history of the family. Some 2 or 3 years ago I saw an advertisement in the newspaper for the whereabouts of John W. White who came to this country many years ago. I lost the paper & not knowing who to inform of his whereabouts thinking it might be a reletive out there that wished to know of his whereabouts so I have taken this opportunity to inform them.
Direct your ans. to Mrs. Phebe Mattoon
Owasco Cayuga Co.
New York Box __[illegible]
source: letter written by Julia White (Julia Ann Rosecrans) [This must be an incorrect assumption by the transcriber because the author refers to Jonathan White as her father]
her daughter, Mrs. Phebe Mattoon, died at age 37 (1885-86) and husband JW Mattoon then married Abby Houck.
Laurel Auchampaugh [Owasco Town Hisorian] has copy of the letter and gave a copy to Lucinda Abbott Smith.
2nd tidbit. My grandfather Albert Rosecrans told me that when he sold the infamous Hinman Place a few years ago he noticed that either a John or Jonathan White had been a previous owner of some or all of the land. He hadn't made a connection to his grandmother's family until I brought it up.
The 1859 map for Moravia township (Cayuga Co., NY) shows J. White on what is now Hall Rd. across the road from where the Hinman house stood.
Sure enough, when I went back to the 1860 census, I found the family of Jonathan White 45, Julia A. 33, Sarah L. 12, Phebe 11, Clarisa 9 and Albert 7. The ages correspond with dates found on Jonathan White family markers at Indian Mound Cemetery
The 1870 census has Julia A., Sarah L.,Phebe A, Albert P., Chas. W. Metcalf 26 [later married Clarissa]. The next household has John J. White 54 and Elenor 54 - this is likely Jonathan White's brother.
The 1875 map has G. Rosecrans where J. White was in 1859 and Burgess & Hinman across the road where either there wasn't a house or J.M. Thornton lived in 1859.
The 1880 census also has George Rosecrans and Jason Hinman, but no more Whites.
More to come. I've picked up enough information this week to keep me busy until next spring.

2Bill Moyer, Britzius File II, Letter from Don Russell to Bill Moyer, 1978. 18 pages of journal describing Bill's trip in June 1988 with his daughter, Rebecca, to Bisterscheid in Germany; plus family sheets for George Britzius, b. 4 Nov 1845; and Adam, b.21 Oct 1852; and a map of Bisterschied area. "I'd say my grandfather was born in Ohio, and my great grandfather in Alsace. At least that's what my grandparents and my mother told me. And my grandfather had strong opinions about telling the truth--as well as card playing, dancing, booze, Catholics and Jews; all bad. He was a strong believer in honesty, hard work, his church, fairness as he saw it. And he was a pretty good natural physician (meaning he believed in the curative powers of natural herbs.) In some of his parishes he was the only "doctor" in the area. He was also kind and generous, so it was only natural (one obituary said) that friends came to his funeral from as far away as 100 miles. His medical assistance was usually rewarded with farm produce; from laying hens to a barrel of fall apples--somketimes spring plowing help. His chief vanity was the ownership of the best looking pair of horses in his parish--he knew how to drive them, too. You could say he loved good horses the way I love my red Cadillac."
