Philip Roth Cemetery
Rothsville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA
Warwick Township is one of the original townships laid out in 1729 at the formation of Lancaster County. The earliest settlers in the vacinity of what is now Rothsville were John Musselman in 1734, Paul Tettenhauer in 1739, Peter Fahrney in 1742, Andrew Musselman in 1747, and Peter Lane in 1756. In 1790, Philip Roth acquired 90 acres of land and built a tavern at the junction of the Newport and Lititz roads. It is this Philip Roth for whom Rothsville is named. The tavern is still standing and bears the name of "The White Swan".
As settlers began to take up residence in the area, the settlement took on the name "Haussa Barrick". This is the local idiom for the German "Hasenberg". The tranlation is "Rabbit Hill" probably in response to the large number of wild rabbits in the area or those raised by the German farmers. A road named Rabbit Hill Road runs from Newport Road east of town to Church Road. The name of the town was changed to Rothsville sometime after 1847 when a post office was established.
