Thanks to Pat Maher and to David Hoffman as we now have information about the Rogerene Church I found it very interesting. Although, the settlement was referred to as Quakertown, I do not believe that the Roberene Church were Quakers. In fact, there was an early Quaker Meeting House in Killingly, Windham County, Connecticut. Rogerene Church -- is this the Seventh Day Adventist Church, that had members moving from Westerly, RI through New London County and settling in Rensselaer County, New York? I found the surname, WHIPPLE in the Rogerene Church articles. THere was a "Whipple School for the DEAF" in the area; and it was thought that one of the sons of William & Mary (Green) Greene may have attendended this school. William & Mary, first cousins, are both grandchildren of LT David & Molly (McWithy/Withey) Green, with Mary as the daughter of Stephen Green of Westerly, RI, who is of the same line as Joseph L. Greene of Westerly, Rhode Island -- see book below: "Descendents of Joseph Greene of Westerly, RI. Also Branches of the Greenes of Quidnesett, or Kingston, RI and other Lines of Greenes in America" by Prinipal Frank L. Greene (Mo. 365)., Joel Munsell's Sons, Publishers, 1894, Albany, NY. Descendents of Joseph went through New London County and one was envolved with my Green line in land transactions. (Members of this family were in New London County; and many were Seventh Day Advents, who migrated on to Renesselaer County, New York. We do not know the ancestery of William, grandfather of LT David Green, but we do know that four of William, Sr's children's births were listed in Stonington, CT's Birth Records -- this included John GREEN, father of LT David Green. These GREEN/GREENEs were of the Preston/Griswold Area. My Grandmother, Orrie Emilie Greene, born 1856 in Griswold, CT md. James Moore, s/o Rev. Hiram & Elvira (Mendenhall) Moore, in IA>OR. (It is through Elvira Mendenhall, that I have Quaker Roots through PA MENDENHALLs and Nantuacket, MA COFFINs.) Thanks for any information as to the exact faith of the Rogerene Church.

Please note that the Rogerenes were in part an offshoot of the Seventh Day BAPTIST or "Sabbatarian" church which had congregations in Westerly and other parts of Rhode Island -- not to be confused with the larger and later Seventh- Day Adventists. (The early Baptists and Quakers were often not all that distinct either.) The Seventh Day Baptists migrated into CT and NY and WI, also to NJ and WV. Their historical society has a small on-line presence and has a fine one-room library in Janesville, Wisconsin, that's an indispensable trip if your ancestors were of this faith.
