Elizabeth RODGER/Peter BLAIR - Neilson
Elizabeth RODGER, born April 27, 1806, Neilston Scotland, married my gr-gr grandfather Peter(2) BLAIR, May 29, 1835 in Lowell MA. She died March 6, 1888. Peter and Elizabeth went to Goshen Gore (Stannard) VT. Peter and Elizabeth had 4 children, Elizabeth, William, Agnes, and Peter(3) (my gr grandfather).
Elizabeth was the daughter of William Rodger??? and Agnes Adams. She had at least one brother, William.
On the ship that Peter(2) came to America on was William Rodgers who went to Greensboro VT. William told his mother (Agnes) and sister (Elizabeth) that when he got settled in America he would send for them. Tired of waiting for the word, they went to America to find William. When they got to Greensboro William had already moved to Lowell MA where Peter also was. Elizabeth and her mother followed William to Lowell and Peter and Elizabeth met. Elizabeth did not know Peter in Scotland but she has said that when she was waiting to see her brother leave on the ship, she remembers seeing Peter leaning against the ship eating a biscuit.
If anyone has more information on Elizabeth and her parents/brothers/sisters/etc., I'd appreciate hearing from you.
