    3. I think the Rogers who were in Goshen and Warwick at that time were probably part of the family that came up from Huntington, LI. They descend from William Rogers who came to Wethersfield, CT with the Rev. Richard Denton's party, then moved on to Stamford, CT and a few years later broke with the majority there and moved on to Hempstead and Huntington, which they helped found. I have always thought that the movement of Huntington people to this part of Orange County reflected their continuing connection to the people from Stamford who were some of the earliest to settle in Goshen. The Huntington Historical Society has a lot on the Rogers family in its Scudder Papers but the only Samuel I have seen there is the son of David Rogers whose will was probated in 1758 and no indication that this Samuel went on to Orange County. The Samuel who married Jane Agur doesn't show up in any of the tax lists or censuses for Orange County so one might conclude that he died soon after or moved away. There was a Samuel Rogers in the Ulster County militia during the War and he might have gone up there. Good luck.

Coleman, Goshen, N.Y. Would anyone have any children, or further information about Samuel and his family? I've got an annoying brickwall with Thomas Rogers, who seems to have lived in the Orange County area before moving to northern New Jersey by 1820. I cannot connect him to any Rogers family, and Samuel is suitably vague to be a possibility. Thomas married Ellen Stevens about 1811, and died in 1835. Any information greatly appreciated.
