I just now read the message exchanges re: Henry Rogers (my gg grandfather)and would like to submit a couple of corrections.Benjamin H Rogers, brother of Henry Rogers, died in 1824 in Springfield, Clark Co, OH.He left a 'deathbed' oral will, giving the press and office (in essence, the newspaper) to three of his nephews, sons of Henry and Susannah Rogers.Simeon Rogers, the eldest, got 1/2 interest, with 1/4 going to Benjamin and 1/4 to Amos.Simeon continued to work at publishing the newspaper for a short time.Benjamin and Henry did have a brother Simeon but he lived in Preble Co, OH at this time.
