Having been headache-free for nearly three days running, I've started looking into that tangled can of worms, the partnerships and associations of the Rogers family. William Hazen Rogers apprenticed to Joseph Church in Hartford CT, 1820-1825. Following his term, he and Church formed CHURCH & ROGERS which lasted till at least 1836. Basic stuff and all the standard references give the same, except Belden; It notes a third partner, Joseph Rogers. But who is this? But for this note, I find nothing of a Joseph in the Rogers' convoluted enterprises. I have gone through the various family lines looking for uncles, cousins, etc, but Joseph doesn't seem to have been a popular name among William Hazens's immediate relatives. Or is it Joseph, brother to Daniel Rogers, the silversmith in Newport RI? Both Flynt & Fales and Bohan/Hammerslough note that he apprenticed with his brother to John Tanner c 1766 and worked in Newport until he removed to Hartford CT in 1808, dying there in December 1825 at age 75. Was he still working at that age? It appears he had already stopped smithing by 1800, having been elected a director of the Newport Insurance Company and a representative to the Rhode Island General Assembly in 1801 and I've found no advertisements or other indications of work in Hartford. An end of life financial set-back, perhaps? An honorary partnership for an old relative? Unfortunately, there is little information on his or Daniel's ancestors and no suggestion of a family connection to the Hartford Rogers. Just a coincidence of name and time and place? Or is this all just a slip of Belden's pen? Ideas, anyone? [This message has been edited by wev (edited 01-24-2002).] IP: Logged |
