Carolyn,
I double checked some of my information that I have and I came up with some more information.
Hiram Rodgers married Mary Jane Jennings on March 3, 1864 in Shawnee, Ohio. He was 19, which puts the birth date you gave me to be correct. The connection I have is pulled from a book my mother had from the history of Hooper, Nebraska, it is as follows:
"A brother of Hiram Rodgers moved from Ohio to Oklahoma and dropped the "d" from his last name, making it Rogers. One of his sons grew up to be the famous comedian Will Rogers."
Thanks for helping me on my search to find a connection.
