Looking for a "John Rogers" is like looking for a John Smith. About 110 heads of households with a variation of that name were listed in the remaining 1790 census records from 9 of the states. If a son, employee, father or brother named John Rodgers lived with the head-of-household, he was not listed. Previous writers have asked you if there were other names. Equally helpful to know: What is the content of the ledger book, and the context of the name inclusion? ... Store accts., payroll, farm records, quartermaster war records, inventory of an estate, tax assessments? Did the book belong to John Rogers, or is he one of many payees. Does the ledger have a printing date or publisher? Where (at least a state) did you find the book? Was it passed down in your family, or at a garage sale, antique store, or historical society? If it belonged to your family, where did they come from? Thanks, Anne Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
