Wow, this Major Benjamin Rosenkrans Bible is really something!! I am a direct descendant of Major Benjamin Rosenkrans and of course of Col. John Rosenkrans as well, and this Bible is something that I will have to make a special trip to Walpack, NJ to see it! I am also a longtime member of the NJSSAR Col.

My wife Margaret and I, John D Rosenkrans were out visiting my old stomping grounds in Sussex County 2 or 3 years ago and while we were in Layton, we ran into Patte Frato and we all went to Bevans Cemetery. Many of my Rosenkrans relatives are buried in Bevans Cemetery and while walking through the Cemetery, we came across Major Benjamin Rosenkrans’ headstone and found that there was a Civil War Marker on it and there was not one from the War of 1812 Marker anywhere nearby to be found. I knew and Patte knew that Major Benjamin Rosenkrans was in the War of 1812, but definitely not in the Civil War which was some 50 years later in History. I would like to send out a huge thanks to Patte Frato for getting a brand new War of 1812 Marker for Major Benjamin and she placed it for us at Major Benjamin Rosenkrans’ headstone. Thanks to Patte, he is now acknowledged to be back to where he fought, in the War of 1812. Thank you Patte Frato! And, since then, my wife and I have purchased a plot from Jo-Ann Williamson at Bevans Cemetery and a nice headstone from Nancy Bookbinder at Wolfe Memorials in Sussex for us to be buried at Bevans Cemetery when our time comes, we will then rest with our Rosenkrans family! A huge set of Thanks goes out to Patte F., Jo-Ann W., and Nancy B. from John and Margaret Rosenkrans, big thanks Ladies!

Great. I was there several years ago and met with a sister of “Red” Fuller. She was married to a Rosenkrans and just full of interesting stories about refusing to leave her home when eminent domain was forcing others out of their homes. I think that her home is now the Rosenkrans museum. The picture of the museum looks like the porch that we sat on in rocking chairs.
When was the museum founded? And what was the name of the person who last reside there.as a family home.
