Antrim / Re: Ro(d)gers
« on: Monday 22 October 07 05:13 BST (UK)  »
On the marriage record for Joseph M. Brown who was born in June 1870 in Ohio, USA, married in 1902; this document stated that his parents, John Brown and Maria Ro(d)gers, were from Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland. John and Isabelle Rodgers being, Maria's parents. I have not located any church records or an affiliation in Ohio. It is hard to find death and cemetery records for the above parents and grandparents. At the time of Joseph Brown's death he was a member of a Masonic Lodge in Ohio. No mention of a church is noted in the  February 1922 newspaper. I have looked at many areas of Griffith's Valuation on films and Tithe records at a Genealogical Library in Indiana. I was employed there and helped other patrons find their surnames, sources and research, which in turn helped me connect with many people in my own lines, although quite distant (4th cousins and beyond). Presently, I have the prospect of working on Declaration of Intent for Naturalization for John Brown and John Rodgers. Have not taken the time to write such a letter.

My John Rodgers was born about that time because the first US census of 1860 shows the couple living in their son-in-laws house in mid-central Ohio; a small town of Mansfield. His age was 65. 1870 says he was age 78.
New York Passenger Lists, 1851-1891

    Name: Maria Rogers Arrival Date: 13 Aug 1853  Estimated Birth Year: 1834 Age: 19, Female

    Port of Departure: Liverpool, England

    Destination: United States of America

    Place of Origin: Ireland      Ship Name: Underwriter

    Port of Arrival: New York    Line: 15  Microfilm Roll: 130   List Number: 823

    She is with John Rogers , 50, Laborer, Isab, 50, Agness, 30, and John Brown, 20, Miller


1860 Mansfield (Ward #3) Richland Co. Ohio census page 35
Looking for a person who married Agness, may have been James Thompson. They may have had a daughter who lived with the Brown family by 1880.

Researcher - Can you suggest a directory of such posted to employ one?

How about a few 19th century sources where I should look for John Rodgers before he left Ireland in 1853? And where to look for John Brown, age 20, a miller?

Thanks for the info. My John Rodgers is older than that, born before 1795. County Antrim was discovered. Thank you.

Wakeman, Huron County, Ohio had a flour mill in 1880.

Anyone heard of other towns having a similar occupation?

The word before looks like a place name abbreviated. Like St. M__ or St. W__. I believe I read the first ink marks as St.

Best Searching!

John and Isabella Ro(d)gers, daughter Maria who married John Brown.
This family claims they all came from Belfast, County Antrim. They settled in Richland County, Ohio by 1860 and after 1870 in Huron County, Ohio.

Her parents being John and Isabella Ro(d)gers. This couple claims they came from Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland. By 1880 census in Wakeman, Huron County, Ohio, a niece named Anna Thompson was living with the family. Any connections?
