The 18th Century
No mentions of the surname appear in the 1710 - 1775 parish
registers. It is not known what happened to the Rogers family
appearing in the earlier records. The surname starts to appear again
in the late 18th century.

Descendancy
Chart for David Rodgers
I apologise for the lack of the Chart here, where once there
was one. I've taken it off the page until it is tweaked a
little. The usual Merriott problems of people having the same names have
confused the issues. To try to make things clearer, I
will refer to the David Rodgers as such:
David Rodgers the first: abt 1743 - 1798, married
Elizabeth Unknown.
David Rodgers the second: abt 1766 - 1835 married firstly Elizabeth Mitchell,
secondly Ann Thorn.
David Rodgers the third: abt 1804 - 1877 married Ann Hill.
