    1. [NJCAMDEN] Nelson Rogers
    2. Carter and Bev Rogers
    3. I am looking for my GGrandfather, Nelson ROGERS. Family tradition was that he was a Ship Captain in New Jersey. Nelson Rogers and his wife Anna cannot be found in the 1860 New Jersey census, nor can my Grandfather, Albert ROGERS, b Jan 20, 1860 in New Jersey according to the family, be found in that census. I have not been able to find a wedding date for Nelson and Anna nor any proof of birth. My Grandfather reportedly told another grandson that as a boy he could see the skyline of Philadelphia, so I assume that he lived in the Camden area. I am wondering if anyone would do a lookup in a Camden directory, and/or in a Philadelphia directory c1858-1865 to see if a Nelson ROGERS can be found there. Tradition is that Nelson was killed in a boat accident and that my Grandfather was raised by maiden aunts in Wisconsin, so that range of dates are the most probable. Thank you for your help. Any other suggestions about how to find Nelson, Anna, and Albert records would also be appreciated. Carter Rogers Tempe, Arizona
