Your family is Munson? I have a Gerta Muncey, dau. of Levi and Margaret from Greene Co. PA who married a Hugh Shaw, originally from Delaware. There were Rogers in Green Co., PA, in far southwest PA. Gerta married William Rogers and their eldest son was John Rogers, born Greene Co., PA 3-26-1800; lived there all his life. I believe the town of Rogersville, PA was named for him. He invented a water-wheel. His father obtained a 311 acre tract on 11-26-1805 called Rogers Fancy on Bates Fork branch of the South Fork of Tenmile Creek. Gertie who was widowed by Hugh Shaw was Willaims' widow in 1811. Of interest is that Samuel Peden had built a horse mill for Wm. Rogers in 1807. There were Pedens in MD. My Rogers were from MD but can't quite trace them. I have also ancestors named Bennington from the same area of MD as my Rogers and I have a clue they may have been from DE. So think there may have been migration from DE to MD, then service in the Revolution, then migration to Washington Co. PA and around Greene Co., PA then migration to southwest Ohio - over several generations. His dau. said Wm. Rogers was born in Delaware. He died in Washington Co., PA, struck by lightning coming from a mill. The Lyons family was related to them. This name shows up along my families' migration trail; I think it is sometimes spelled Lines. In fact Gertra Munce Shaw Rogers then married Benjamin Lyons and they had a child too. They lived three miles south of Waynesburg, PA. Some of the Rogers from Greene County went to Adams County, OH by first or second decade of 1800s; feel they are cousins to my William Rogers; can't prove it. They all have the MD conenction.
