​Rodgers/Rogers Ancestors :

​Rodgers ancestors were farmers or soldiers seeking new homes in a new world like many other families who immigrated from European countries to what we know as North America today. They mainly settled in the New York Province area and later immigrated to Upper Canada.  

The first records that this writer has of an Rogers ancestor is the claim of loss that William Rogers Jr. submitted about 1776 for his losses from the war. 

William Rogers Jr. son, Gideon was born in Rombout Precinct, Dutchess Co., New York Province but immigrated to Upper Canada about 1795. Records show he was living in Fishkill Dutchess Co., in the 1790 census with many of his immediate family.

Gideon immigrated to Upper Canada in about 1795 as his youngest child Magdalena was born in Fredericksburg, Lennox/Addington Co.,  in 1796. This writer’s  4x great-grandfather James Matthew Rodgers was Gideon & Rachel Van Zuylen youngest son and the last to be born in New York Province. 

James Matthew Rodgers married Jane Lindsay in  Kingston, Frontenac Co., circa 1816. Jane was the daughter of James Lindsay UEL  and Anna Hannah Wager DUE. James and Jane Rodgers had 10 children.​
