Is there anyone in the group who is working on the Rodgers of York Co PA? I am working on locating the parents of Robert Rodgers born about 1805 +/- who married Elizabeth and Mary Rodgers born about 1820 +/- who married George Budding. Although there are several Rodgers families ( Eli, Leban, John, Samuel) in the 1790 US Fed Census for York Co., PA, all 4 of these men no longer show by 1800. 1800 York Co PA census shows only Joseph Rodgers. 1810 shows only William Rodgers. 1820 and 1830 finds Sarah Rodger(s),widow, in Hellam Twp, York PA . I tend to think she may be the mother of Mary and Robert, as she had a son born about 1800-1810, 1 daughter 1800-1810 and another about born abt 1815. 1830 we also find a Joseph. 1840 we find James in Chanceford Twp and Robert Rodgers in Wrightsville. The 1840 Wrightsville,York PA Census for Robert Rodgers shows he has living in his home 2 males aged 5-10, himself aged 20-30, and 4 women aged 20-30. He was living only a few houses away from Mary and George Buddings family. 1850 Wrightsville, YorkPA Pennsylvania COUNTY: York DIVISION: Wrightsville Borough REEL NO: M432-840 PAGE NO: 199a Shows Robert Rodgers 41 b PA, Elizabeth 36 b PA, Samuel 19 b PA and John 16 b PA . living with them was Catherine Sloat 44 ( I think a sister ) b PA, Leah Sloat 26 b PA, Daniel Frey 7 b PA According to the Sheriffs Deed book Robert D Rodgers of Wrightsville's home was sold in 1852. This may account for the break up of the family. 1860 US Fed Census for Robert b. 1803 has him living with George and Mary Rodgers Budding.
