I'm originally from the Syracuse, NY area. Unfortunately I think these are two different families. My great grandfather was Walter (1844-1907) and his brothers were John, Michael, Thomas and James. Their father was James. Only Walter and John immigrated to the US. I don't have any Rogers in the family or any connection to RI.
