Posted on: VanBuren Co. Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11409 Surname: Rodgers ------------------------- I have seen several messages re: California gold rush but none about pikes peak. My great great grandfather John R. Rodgers(Rogers)a resident of Boneparte went to pikes peak @1859-1860 according to his probate records. I doubt that he traveled alone. Does anyone else have a relative that traveled there or know of an expedition from VB Co?
