Biography

Jerusha (Rosenberger) Douglas is a member of Clan Douglas.

Jerusha was born about 1820^[1]. She was the daughter of Jacob Rosenberger. She passed away in 1906.^[2][3][4] She was to be buried in Leon, Kansas, however, when a descendant of William and Jerusha Douglas, Christopher Douglas, went to visit the grave of William Douglas, there was no gravestone for her near William's grave, and there was plenty of space for another grave.^[5] She may have been buried without a gravestone or in a different section, or even in a different graveyard.
