Research Notes:
There were several men named Isaac Rogers living in New Jersey at about the same time. Isaac Rogers [14], spouse of Ann Taylor was also born in 1735 and had a father named John Rogers. We show Elizabeth Stokes as a wife of Isaac Rogers of Chester Twp. Several other researchers show Elizabeth Stokes as a wife of Isaac Rogers of Chesterfield Twp, instead. We do not which is correct with any certainty.
1810 Isaac Roger was taxed in New Hanover Twp, which is adjacent to Chester Twp. [15]
