SALLY:
I just found your website. Last up dated about 1998, ten years ago?
My husband who was a descendant of a Rogers, I found that his Rogers
was a brother to your Elizabeth b. 1711.
His was Nathaniel b 1708, under age in his father’s will. He died in
Newton, Morris, New Jersey. Will dated 14 My 1761, probated 27 May
1761.
He married Jemima_________ who died 2 Sept. 1784.
They had 12 children, and the ninth child, a son named Simeon b. ca
1750, was my husband’s direct ancestor.
Simeon moved to Ohio, Clark County, not sure when. He married Abigail
Howard . His son Simeon b. 1785 in Preble Co. Ohio married Mary Smith
in 1812
and moved to Adams Co., Indiana. Died there. His son Hugh S was born
there married Sarah Turner. Hugh and Sarah moved back
to Preble Co., Ohio in 1855. Her son Hugh Edgar was born 1864 and Hugh
S, was in Northern Army and had a disease. He was transported to New
York.
He wait in line for his pay to go home to Ohio, and died of a sun
stroke. He is buried in national cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. Their
son Hugh called Edgar,
marred Rozina Pyle, their daughter, Clara Mae Ellen was the last
Rogers. Her grandson was my husband. A terrific little lady.
This is a brief look at Elizabeth’s brothers family.
