In that year he bought 125 acres, bodering the county line at Line Lexington, which he held for five years. John Rosenberger came also to Hatfield and first bought land where is now the village around Hatfield station about 1749-50. Daniel Rosenberger purchased another tract in Hatfield lying along the county line near the hamlet called Bookertown in 1740.
