Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)

FOLLOWUP

In addition to the individuals already in this database, John and Sara Rogers may have been the parents of Elizabeth (b.11 Aug 1746, Marshfield, Province of Massachusetts; d. 5 Nov 1825) and Stephen (b. 7 Feb 1748/49, Marshfield, Province of Massachusetts; d. 17 Mar 1826, Danby, VT). He may have been buried in the cemetery of the Friends Meeting House in Pembroke, MA. (There is an entry for Stephan in History and Map of Danby, Vermont on page 236, but I need to resolve some questions before using it.)
