General Notes: Husband - William Brosius

---

He spent most of his boyhood and youth in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in the home of an uncle, by name Roberts. When a young man he came back to Chester County, married, and lived in Chester County for a few years. In 1835 he bought a farm in Colerain township, Lancaster County, where he and his wife made their home for a time in a little log house. Later, he put up good buildings on this farm, where he and his wife lived to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary in 1877. They were members of the Friends' church, of which he was a minister, officiating in that capacity for many years. Strongly anti-slavery in his convictions, he was opposed to the prosecution of the Civil War.
