  Notes	Johannes Carl von Rosenberg was born at Eckitten Estate in 1826, where his mother died when he was a few weeks old. The Veithofer-Froelich grandmother (Johanna Dorothea Viethofer, his maternal grandmother) beloved by all, took him home immediately after the funeral and cared for him until the remarriage of his father four years later. Johannes immigrated to America with his family in 1849. After Johannes married Julie Groos in 1850, they lived on a farm that was part of Nassau Plantation, which he had cultivated while he boarded with his sister Hannchen Hellmuth nearby. Later he bought a larger farm at Evergreen, then Lee County, now Washington County. At his return he decided to give up farming and moved to Round Top, where the family resided until his wife died in 1894. In Round Top he founded a mercantile business and also an inn, which was widely known to travelers in that day. After 1894 he retired and lived with his two unmarried daughters, Hulda and Minnchen, until his death at the age of eighty. Johannes Carl died in l906 and was buried in the new cemetery in La Grange. There his wife was soon re-interred by his side.
