I have an Abraham, but no birth or death information, other than his father is Augustus, son of Francois. In fact, is it possible that the dates you gave for William Abraham (1834-1922) were for his father, Abraham? Abraham's wife, Virgnia Benoit also makes sense as three of Francois's sons married Benoit women, all from the same fammily, so the families were obviously close. I know there are Rogers farmers in the Marin county area, but I've assumed that they were of Scotch or English ancestory. Maybe you can tell me how you know William's father and mother. By the way the name Freeman (anglized version of the French Fermin) reoccurs in the Rogers family I know. I think we have a little work ahead of us to figure this out for sure.
