General Notes: Husband - Hugh "Hughie" Rogers


He came, in company with a sister, from his native Ireland to America, and made a settlement in Chartiers township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He participated in the Revolutionary war. [CBRWC, 279] But this last statement can't be true if his date of birth is correct. Perhaps the War of 1812 was meant?


General Notes: Wife - Mary "Polly" Cowden
