Correction! What was I thinking? The newspaper articles are from the 1760's and not the 1860's - just a "little bit of a difference, don't you think? So there's no way to figure out from census who this Robert Rogers is. /CR -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Carol Rogers Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 12:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ROGERS] ROGERS Digest, Vol 2, Issue 208 Wait .... that would make Robert over two hundred years old as these newspaper articles were from the mid 1800's or so. I'll see if I can go back and find the exact one for the date of the paper - but somewhere around 1860, I think. To give you an idea of the competition .... I just checked the 1860 census and found 5 Robert Rogers in the state of Massachusetts at an appropriate age to be a Governor. Not sure about one of them - 50 year old with 33yrs old wife, Martha, listed as a Sea Captain living in Roxbury. In 1850 he is in Newburyport, MA, listed as a master mariner, but I can't find him in 1870. I'm still going through articles, so perhaps I'll find an obit for him at some point.

So it appears that the Governor I inquired about was this Robert. Now that name is a new one on me ..... sound familiar to anyone? this is the one from Rogers Rangers I have info on a couple Robert's. I have Robert born 1617 In England and ended up in MA.
