General Notes: Husband - Alson Rogers


After the death of his parents he went to live with his relatives at Underhill, Vermont, and there received his education. In 1830 he came to Warren County, Pennsylvania, where he entered into part­nership with a friend in mercantile business, subsequently dissolving the connection and en­gaging in teaching. He bought property, beginning with a tract of ninety-eight acres, and built a homestead in Mead township. He engaged in the lumber business and in 1846 erected a mill which was replaced in 1887 by another. His markets were Pitts­burgh and Cincinnati. He handled many valuable timber tracts, buying and selling them. In politics he was originally a Democrat, but when the Republican party was formed he joined the ranks and ever after remained firm in his allegiance. He became prominent in the county, manifesting that public spirit which had led him, when a young man in Vermont, to enroll himself in a militia company.
