"1817 - BENJAMIN ROGERS (Farmer)
This pioneer was a native of Massachusetts, who settled on the
lake shore on lot 15 broken front of Whitby, near "Kerr's Creek" in
1817. He had previously lived in the Eastern Townships near Sherbrooke,
before settling in Whitby.
This pioneer died many years ago. His sons Benjamin and Edmund
Rogers were well known residents of the township of Whitby, men who
in their day with their own strong hands helped to clear this part of
Canada. In 1833 Benjamin Rogers Jr. began preaching in connection
with the "Christians" who from an early date were a numerous body in
this part of Canada.
In 1836 just before the rebellion broke out Mr. Rogers became an
ordained Elder. The writer can recall the days when in the
Elder Rogers expounded the Gospel with great force. Mr. B. Rogers'
wife died on the 31st of July 1885. He survived her only three years,
he died on the 21st of November 1888 in his 86th year. The children of
this couple reside in Oshawa and other parts at the present time.
EDMUND ROGERS (Benjamin Rogers Jr.'s brother) died on the 4th of November
1880 in his 73rd year. Leaving a widow who is still living and several
children, some of whom are residents of Oshawa and vicinity at the present
day."
