General Notes: Husband - Robert Rodgers


He came from County Donegal, Ireland, to the Conococheague valley, Pennsylvania, and there met George Findley, who had had for a few years an improvement in the Conemaugh valley, the same as was later occupied by George F. Mathews. Together they went to this portion of what is now Indiana County. The date is unknown, but the warrant of the original tract of fifty-seven and one-fourth acres is dated September 29, 1772, and was surveyed October 28, 1774, and was described as situated "on the north side of Conemaugh, on the path leading to Black-lick, two miles from Robert Gibbs, in Westmoreland county." [HIC 1880, 422]

He was born in Donegal, Ireland, and came to America in 1771. He settled on the Conemaugh river near the site of the old village of Nineveh.
He fought in the Revolutionary War in 1780, being a private in the 8th Company, 3d Battalion, Cumberland County (Pennsylvania) Militia.
