not really, he is talked about in some books of the era, usually crowded out by larger more well known folks like pinchot, muir and the like. He is on the wiki, Joseph Rothrock and he totally seemed to have lived an interesting life.

There are not that many Rothrocks in the USA, most of them, to my knowledge are related directly back to two ships that carried the family over, the Pink Mary and another one. It was a father and his four sons. It is a pain in the ass because there are like 10 generations of "george" or "john" or the german versions, so Johan, johannes, georg.

You can find some powerpoints, some brief descriptions on the various state websites.
