  • Notes: 

  • There is some disagreement as to the date of James Rogers's death. His tombstone has the date 06 NOV 1714, while the inventory of his estate gives it as 12 NOV 1713. Others claim the date is 08 OCT 1713, however he was still alive on 04 NOV 1713 where on a land record he is listed as "personally appeared." It seems likely his death actually occured either 06 or 08 NOV 1713.
