Son of Noah Rogers and Eda Hollister
Married Elenor Jeanett Kelsey, 15 Jun 1862, Logan, Cache, Utah
History - In February 1837 Chancey's father and mother and brothers joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, just a few months before Chancy was old enough to be baptized, but he was baptized shortly after his eighth birthday in August of that same year.
After joining the Church, Noah gave up his practice as a physician so he could put all his time in helping to build up the church. The family moved to Davis County, Missouri, then later to Commerce, Illinois and became one of the first families to help build Nauvoo.
Chancy and his brothers worked with and on the Prophet Joseph Smith's farm. When Chancey was fourteen years old his father was called to go on a mission to the Society Islands where he was made the first president of that mission. While Noah was on his mission, the Prophet was killed. It took seven months for Noah and his companions to receive the news of the Prophet's death. The Rogers family was among the families driven out of Nauvoo, and suffered many hardships along with the rest of the Saints.
In December, 1844, Chancey's father was released from his mission and returned and found his family living on the outskirts of Nauvoo. The family gathered together their possessions, preparing to come West with the rest of the Saints. They got as far as Mt. Pisgah (now Talmage), Iowa, and Noah took sick and was sick about ten days and died on 31 May 1846. Chancey and his brothers made a coffin for their father out of a wagon box. Noah was only 49 years of age.
The family still thought it best for them to come West, so Theodore and Washington went on ahead with a company of Saints, to prepare a place for them. Russell was married by that time and didn't go to Utah until a few years later. This left David and Chancey, the oldest boys, to take care of the family and help them make the trip to Utah. They moved 140 miles west of Mt. Pisgah, and settled on the east side of the Missouri River at Pottawatame land in Iowa, where his mother's family lived. After a short stay there, they continued on to Utah, arriving in Salt Lake City Valley in the year of 1849, when Chancey was 20 years old. They were not in Salt Lake very long.
They were sent by Brigham Young to Brigham City to help build up that city. The first winter they still met with many hardships. It,was a cold winter with no feed for the cattle. The children would peel the bark off the firewood to feed the cattle. The mother Used some of the straw from her mattress to feed the cows so that she would have milk for the family.
