Surnames: Rogers - Vermont Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0AC.2ACI/199.2 Message Board Post: I have been searching for my gr-grandfather William Rogers. Do you know of any William Rogers born between 1837 & 1845? His tombstone has his birth as 1838. He joined the civil war in Michigan in 1864, age 24 (b. abt. 1840). The Michigan census lists the following: 1870 MI - age 26, b. Ontario, abt. 1844 1880 MI - age 35, b. Ont. abt. 1845 (father - Ireland, mother - Ireland) 1900 MI - age 56, b. Vermont abt. 1844 (father, Vermont, mother, Vermont) 1910 MI - age 69, b. Vermont abt. 1841 (F. Vermont - M. - Vermont) 1920 MI - age 83, b. Canada abt. 1837 (F. Canada, M. Canada) This is his last census, he died in 1920. Could he possibly be a descendent of any Vermont Rogers? I think his correct yr. of birth was 1838. His wife is believed to have been French Canadian, born in Quebec. Montreal has been mentioned, but unknown. As you can see, the census are only more confusing. Any help?
