BIOGRAPHY: 104. LEVI ROSENKRANS, son of Major Benjamin (47), was born March 10, 1800. He married 1821 Rebecca Williams of Wantage, born June 16, 1806. Soon after his marriage, or perhaps prior to it, a log house was built at the lower end of the meadow on the farm subsequently purchased by Nicholas, and in this house Levi lived and carried on blacksmithing for years. At the writers earliest recollection of the place the shop had been taken down and the timbers used in the construction of a fence with the anvil block still lying near. In 1833 Levi left there and settled on land west of Bald Mount, in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, near the turnpike road, leading from Scranton to Newton Centre, where he farmed and carried on blacksmithing till near the close of his life, when the farm was left in charge of his children. Levi, named after his uncle Levi, like his father and his grandfather had fourteen children, all of whom grew up and married. He died about 1880, his wife having departed prior to his death. Their children were: Brittain, Lydia Jane, Amanda, Seeley J., William, Benjamin, Margaret, Teresa, Martha C., Roanna, Layton and Levi, twins, Gideon Judson and Mallery.
