  1. 1.  Peter Carl Johann VON ROSENBERGPeter Carl Johann VON ROSENBERG was born on 2 Oct 1794 in Eckitten, Memel, Ostpreußen, Prussia (son of Otto Bohlschwing VON ROSENBERG and Maria Wilhelmine VON STEMPEL); died on 19 Oct 1866 in La Grange, Fayette, Texas, USA; was buried in Old La Grange City Cemetery, La Grange, Fayette, Texas, USA.

    Notes:

    Peter Carl Johann von Rosenberg was the third son of Otto von Rosenberg and his second wife, Maria Wilhelmine von Stempel-von Rosenberg, of Raddeilen and Eckitten Estates. He was nine years old when his parents were divorced and we know nothing of his early life and education. He enlisted in the Prussian Army at an early ago and at twenty-one he became a lieutenant in the cavalry. He was a member of the Uhlans and on the old scroll he is called a Jager, which was a title given to certain German cavalry regiments.

    He later told his grandson Arthur von Rosenberg that in the Battle of Leipzig his horse's mouth was shot away, but he quickly mounted another horse whose rider had been killed.

    He fought with the Prussian guards under Bluecher with Wellington. When Napoleon faced the English on Belgian soil at Waterloo, with the remnant of the once-defeated Prussians and the fresh Prussian forces under Bluecher, the tide of the battle turned on June 18, 1815. The histories tell us this Prussian Guard knew how to die but not how to surrender.

    The Uhlans fought with lances. They were chiefly employed for reconnoitering, skirmishing, and outpost duty. Originally they were light cavalry. Peter Carl was a Lieutenant in this company at Waterloo, we learn from the old scroll and from letters.

    In 1819 he inherited Eckitten Estate after the death of his widowed stepmother, and the same year he married Johanna Dorothea Froelich. They had four children before she died at the age of twenty-nine, six weeks after the birth of Johannes.

    Peter Carl was a "Frei Denker" and in the disturbing days of 1848 was severely criticized for his political views. The consequent humiliation of the family was the direct cause of the immigration to Texas.



    The family of Carl von Rosenberg departed from Bremen, Germany on 1 Oct 1849 and arrived at Galveston, Texas on 2 Dec 1849. They travelled on the ship Franziska.

    Peter married Johanna Dorothea FROELICH on 2 Jun 1819 in Memel, Memel, Ostpreußen, Prussia. Johanna (daughter of Christoph FROELICH, Jr. and Johanna Dorothea VEITHOFER) was born on 12 Jun 1797 in Tilsit, Ostpreußen, Prussia; died on 30 Apr 1826 in Memel, Memel, Ostpreußen, Prussia; was buried in Memel, Memel, Ostpreußen, Prussia.

    Notes:

    “Otto von Rosenberg was born on the Radeilen estate which was near the village of Krottingen near Memel in Kurland, East Prussia.  He was a Baron of the East Prussian nobility.  He married three times and was divorced twice.  Upon the dissolution of his second marriage to Maria Wilhelmine von Stempel, he kept the Eckitten estate as well as a mill on the estate, and a brewery and hotel in Memel which he had received as a part of the dowery from the von Stempel family.  He was appointed the Royal Forester of the Royal Braslausten Estate in the then Kingdom of Prussia by King Friedrich Wilhelm III towards the end of his life.  The estate was located far east of Memel near the village of Sarasen (now present day Jeziorosy in Lithuania).  Shortly after his arrival on the Royal Estate with his second wife, Catharina Borkenhagen and their children, Baron Otto suffered a stroke and was buried three days later in the local Lutheran churchyard.  He was a Lieutenant in the Infantry of the Royal Prussian Army.  JTK”
