James Rogers was born in the early 1700s in Ireland. He married Mary McFatridge. Their children included Daniel, Samuel, Martha, James, Robert, Richard, Mary, John, Catherine and Amy. The Rogers family immigrated to Massachusetts, then to land which became New Hampshire shortly before King George's War. James, Richard and Robert served in the French and Indian War, Robert being the leader of the unit referred to as Roger's Rangers. After the war, the family moved to Vermont, where some served in the Revolutionary War on the side of the British where James commanded the group referred to as the King's Rangers. James' land was taken over during the War while his family lived there and they suffered many privations. The Rogers families migrated to Upper Canada with other loyalists as the Revolutionary War ended.
