At the Sandhill Cemetery in Erie County, Ohio are graves for several young children of Richard H. Rogers and his wife, the former Lucy Tucker.

From left to right at the grave site are:

May and Fay, Twin Infants

Jerusha, who died at age 8 days old in 1845

Amanda, who died at 8 years old in 1842

Mary, who died at 5 years old in 1840

Emily, who died at 5 years old in 1842

It must have been so heart wrenching for Mr. and Mrs. Rogers to lose so many children. They did have two children who survived to adulthood, Richard Hart Rogers Jr. and Mrs. Lucy Hayes.

According to Manford's Magazine, vol. 39 , Richard H. Rogers Sr. went on to marry again, to Rebecca Smith of Wisconsin. They had two sons.

Rest in peace Rogers children.
