Josiah M Rosecrans was born in December 1865[1][2] in Breakabeen, Schoharie, New York, United States[2][3]. On the 1905 census where he is living with his mother-in-law and 2 young daughters, there is another Rosecrans family which could easily be his parents. IF this is the case, then his parents were Washington B Rosecrans and Mary E Unknown.
CAUTION: on the 1905 census where he is living with his mother-in-law and 2 young daughters, he is shown as age 36 which would indicate he was born about 1869[3].
Josiah M Rosecrans passed away in 1936 in Breakabeen, Schoharie, New York, United States.
