[excerpt from a larger article on the Lamont family]

The subjoined is relative to Mrs. Lamont's people: Her great-grandfather, Alexander Rosborough, married Mary Denny; they were both of Irish extraction, and their home was near Elder Ridge, Indiana county, Pennsylvania. Their children were: Charles, Nellie, Elizabeth, James and A. Alexander. It is thought the father, Alexander, Sr., returned to Ireland, taking his eldest son, Charles, with him, but he was never heard of afterwards. Nellie, the second child, married William Miller, by whom were born: Robert and William Miller. Elizabeth never married. James, the subject's wife's grandfather, was a mason by occupation, also a model farmer. He owned one of the most finely improved farms in Indiana county, Pennsylvania, at Elder Ridge, where he and his family resided. He enjoyed the confidence and esteem of his neighbors and was a justice of the peace for some twenty years. His wife's maiden name was Mary Deamer, and to them were born fifteen children. The first and second, Alexander and Rebecca, died in early childhood; afterward they named two of their later children after them; Charles, John, Frederick, Lydia, Isabell, Maria, James, Alexander, Rebecca, Elizabeth, Thomas, Violet, Julia, were the names of the other children. James and Thomas served in the Civil war. Alexander remained a bachelor, was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and died in Omaha, Nebraska, at the Soldiers' Home. He was there buried from his nephew's home. James Rosborough, after serving his term in the army and being honorably discharged, returned home and was killed in a coal mine on his father's farm while mining coal for the use of the family. Thomas and his youngest sister, Julia, lived on the old farm at Elder's Ridge for a number of years after their father's and mother's death, and then sold the homestead to a coal company and purchased a small farm in the suburbs of Indiana, Pennsylvania, where they still reside. The entire family subscribed to the Westminster confession of faith. The male members of this family, with one exception, were Democrats. Frederick Rosborough, who is the father-in-law of the subject, is a Republican, and at the age of eighty-two years enjoys good health. He has never used intoxicating liquors.

Notes for Newton ROSBOROUGH:

NEWTON ROSBOROUGH, farmer and dairyman of Elderton, in Plum Creek township, Armstrong county, is a descendant of an old established family in this part of Pennsylvania. His great-grandfather, who was born in the vicinity of Saltsburg, Indiana county, was a pack peddler, and disappeared while on a trip to secure a stock of goods. Nothing was ever afterward heard of him or his son who accompanied him. The Rosboroughs are of Irish extraction, and the representatives of the name have always been found among the most creditable citizens in their respective communities. The family sent a large number of volunteers to the Civil war.

Charles Rosborough, father of Newton, was born Dec. 16, 1819, one mile east of Elders Ridge in Indiana county, on a farm where Iselin now stands. He was the eldest of a family of fifteen children. He stayed with his father, James Rosborough, learning the stonemason's trade, till twenty-three years of age. On Oct. 4, 1842, he married Elizabeth Frailey, of Elderton, which union lasted fifty-eight years, five months. After being married they moved to Clarksburg, Indiana county, living there till March 16, 1848, when he moved to Elderton, Armstrong county, buying the tannery property of William Cunningham, built by James Clark, father of Judge Silas Clark, of Indiana. There he followed tanning and harnessmaking till shortly before his death, which occurred March 4, 1901, in his eighty-second year. His wife, Elizabeth (Frailey), died Oct. 4, 1904, in her eighty-first year. She was of German descent, and was reared at Elderton, Armstrong county, Pa. Mr. and Mrs. Rosborough were married by the famous Rev. Alexander Donaldson, founder of the Elders Ridge Academy, one of the first institutions of its kind west of the Alleghenies and of such high standing and enviable reputation that pupils came there from every State in the Union, even California. Mr. and Mrs.. Rosborough had a family of ten children, namely: James, born Aug. 9, 1843, a farmer, now living at Marchand, Indiana county, married Ester Allshouse and they have had a family of twelve children; Mary, died when two years old; Martin, died when five years old; William, born March 6, 1850, lives in Philadelphia; Newton is mentioned below; Anna, born Dec. 4, 1854, married J. N. Mahan and is deceased; Della, born July 10, 1857, is the widow of J. A. Altman (they had five children); John, born in November 1859, died when forty-one years old, leaving a wife, who died shortly afterward, and three children; Catherine, born Oct. 3, 1863, lives at home; Edward F., born July 10, 1866, married Laura C. Mulberger, of Elderton, and they h ad had children, Grace (wife of J.E. Clark), Martha (wife of J.C. Mulberger), Vernie (died Oct. 26, 1910 in nineteenth year), Frank (deceased), Bertha and Ruth (at home).

The brothers Newton and Edward F. Rosborough now live at Elderton, on the site of their father's old home, and own a farm of 320 acres adjoining. They bough this property a little at al time, adding to their holdings as prosperity enabled them, acquiring most of it since their father's death. They carry on general agriculture and dairying, being extensively interested in the latter line, which has proved exceptionally profitable, and they are regarded as leaders among the progressive farmers of the district, their methods and work typifying them most up-to-date ideas in their chosen field of work.

Newton Rosborough was born July 10, 1852, at Elderton, where he has passed all his life. He attends the Presbyterian Church, and is one of its most devoted workers, having been an elder for the unusually long period of thirty-seven years.
