The early home of his family was the Shenandoah valley, of which his grandfather, Charles S. Rogers, was a native. The latter was a general of the American army during the war of 1812, as was also the father of his wife, Weathers Smith. He was one of the pioneers of
Bath county, Ky. His son, George W. Rogers, was a colonel of the Second Kentucky cavalry during the Mexican war, and at its close engaged in the iron business at the Bellefonte and Mandy furnaces, with T. J. Shreeve, at Louisville, Ky. Subsequently he was a partner of the firm of Shreeve & Tucker, bankers of that city. His wife, the
mother of the subject of this mention, was Charlotte Carroll, a granddaughter of "Charles Carroll, of Carrollton," one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and daughter of Dempsey Carroll, a native of the Shenandoah valley and a pioneer of Mason county, Ky.
William W. Rogers, at the beginning of the civil war, enlisted in, April, 1861, in Company I, Second Kentucky cavalry, and remained in the service until July 17, 1865, when he was honorably discharged.
His service was most honorable. Enlisting as a private, he was promoted second lieutenant for gallant and meritorious conduct, then captain, and then colonel by brevet, as which he was mustered out.
He was wounded twice at Shiloh and twice at Bardstown, Ky., October 4, 1863, at which latter engagement he was captured by Gen. Horton, but by reason of his wounds was paroled. His brother, Col. John G. Rogers, Tenth Kentucky cavalry, died of wounds at the close of the war in 1865. After his discharge Col. Rogers made his home at Cincinnati, and engaged in the produce business until 1870, when he removed to Bridgeport, Ohio. Here he was occupied in farming until
1877, when he came to Wheeling, and again entered upon the produce business, at which he was engaged until 1877. In the latter year he was elected to the office of justice of the peace, an office which he has filled with credit to himself and to the general satisfaction of the public, conducting in connection with it a pension and claim attorneyship. Col. Rogers is a member of the P. O. S. of A., of which he is state president. In politics he has always been a staunch republican. He votes as he shot."
