==Early career==
John Rosbrugh was born about 1714〔〔John C. Clyde, ''Rosbrugh, A Tale of the Revolution'' (Easton, 1880), p. 3〕 in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, and came to this country in the company of his older brother, William.〔 The family was originally from Cragie, co. Ayrshire, Scotland and had come from that country during the settling of the Ulster Plantation.〔Harold Rosebrugh, ''The Rosebrugh Family Story'' (Galt Publishers, Galt, Ontario, Canada. 1965) pp. 9, 35-6〕
In 1733, when he was age 19, he was living in New Jersey and married; his wife’s name was Sarah and all that is known about her is that she died in childbirth, as did their only child.〔John C. Clyde, ''Genealogies, Necrology and Reminiscences of the Irish Settlement'' (Published by the author, 1879), p. 313〕 Rev. William B. Sprague in his ''Annals of the American Pulpit'' says of him "He had already learned a trade, but had been so well educated in all the elementary branches that he was capable of teaching a school and it was by this means chiefly that he was able to prepare himself for college".〔William B. Sprague, ''Annals of the American Pulpit'', Vol. III (Robert Carter & Brothers, NY, 1858), p. 254〕
