1870 census Hale, Warren, IL
Rev. John Rodgers, the grandfather of our subject, was born in Scotland, about the year 1735.  When about 35 years old he emigrated to this country with his wife and settled in Pennsylvania.  Soon after his arrival in the country of his adoption his wife died, and he was re-married to Isabel Ireland, a lady of Irish origin.  One child was the offspring of the first union, a boy, Thomas.  His second wife bore to him a large family, seven in number, namely:John, aleri, Aniel, William, Alexander, Samuel, Margaret, and Irene.
       Aleri, the third son of John Rodgers, was the father of the subject of this notice, and was born in Rockbridge Co., Virginia in 1785, whence his father had removed from Pennsylvania few years previously.  He grew to manhood at home, and after his marriage still remained under the parental roof-tree, and was thenceforth never sparated from his parents, who passed the declining years of their lives under his protection.  In his will, the grandfatther of our subject, who was a man of some pretensions to scholarly attainments, bequeathed his library, which was considered in those days one of the best in Virginia, and consisted largely of classical works, to Washington and Lee colleges, of Virginia.  Some of his books of which he made specialo bequests are still treasured by his descendants.
       The father of our subject married Mary Davidson, a native of Rockbridge County, and the daughter of John and Mary Davidson, people of Scotch-Irish descent.  Four children were born to them in Virginia, John, William, Andrew and Alexander.
