General Notes: Husband - Isaac Rodgers


The tract of land upon which Rodgers' mill was situated was warranted March 11, 1786, and the survey was made September 7, 1786, the number of acres being three hundred and thirty-eight and three-fourths. At what time the first Rodgers' mill was erected, cannot be stated definitely, but the tradition is that it was prior to that time (1786), as he felt somewhat uneasy about building a mill before he had either warrant or survey.
The Isaac Rodgers mill was erected by Robert Work, a noted wheelright, about 1784-5, on the Conemaugh. It was the only "dry weather" mill in that section, and was resorted to by the people living distant even forty miles. It was the most noted of all the early mills, and when its mates were prostrate with drought, it went on its way merrily grinding night and day. Old settlers used to speak of camping near it, and waiting even three and four days for the chance to get their grist.

The source does not specify which of his wives was the mother of his children.
