General Notes: Husband - Col. Matthew Rodgers


He served in the War of 1812, first as captain of the state militia under Col. Reese hill and subsequently in 1814 as Colonel, being commissioned in each case by Governor Snyder.


General Notes: Wife - Mary Kennedy


The year of her birth is given by the source, but seems improbable; the same source gives the year of one of her sons as only ten years later.
