David Rothgeb was married in Cheshire, by Alexander Frazier, July 28, 1836, to Elizabeth Scott, who is a native of this township born Jan 8, 1810. She is a daughter of Charles and Mary (Darst) Scott. The only offspring of this marriage is Mary Jane, born May 26, 1837 and who now resides on the homestead, managing all her business. The farm has a beautiful location, and is located three miles northwest of Cheshire, and about two and one-half miles from the Blue Sulphur Springs; she has about fifty acres of land, a portion of which contains coal. Her grandfather,Charles Scott, served in the old Indian war, leaving his wife and three children alone while he went to protect the settlement. He held the office of Justice of the peace about 1830 for several terms. An uncle of Miss Rothgeb, also named Charles Scott, enlisted in Company A, 2d Virginia Cavalry, in 1862, was in a great number of engagements and was mustered out shortly before the close of the war; his health was destroyed in the service. The parents of Mary Jane Rothgeb were Christian members of the First Kyger Freewill Baptiat Church for nearly 40 years before they died and though they were afflicted ever since she could remember, they always put their trust in God. Mary Jane Rothgeb became a member of thr Second Kyger Freewill Baptist Church in the eleventh year of her age, and still remains a steadfast believer in the verity of the religion of Jesus Christ, and has faith in him as her never failing friend, The address of Mary Jane Rothgeb is Cheshire, Gallia county, Ohio.
