General Notes: Husband - James Rodgers

---

With his wife and seven children-three sons and four daughters-he emigrated from the north of Ireland and settled at Parkison's Ferry during the year 1786. Another daughter; who was married in Ireland to a gentleman named Hamilton, came to this country at a subsequent time.

He emigrated from the North of Ireland, and in 1786 located in Washington County, Pennsylvania. He and his wife died soon after their arrival, leaving a family of seven children.

The daughters it appears brought some of their former ways of living with them. They are said to have been very beautiful and fond of dress, and wore their hair crimped and powdered, and long plumes in their hats, which must have been something unusual among the settlers, for the Rev. Mr. McMillan, pastor of the old Pigeon Creek Church, where they attended, once reproved them for their striking appearance, saying they "took the attention of the congregation from him."
