Hi, my name is Billie Dell. I too descend from William Henry Rogers, from his third wife, Kataraina Rangikawhiti. I would be interested in any further information you may have on this elusive ggg grandfather of ours. Do you have his parents or siblings names? I thought he was born in Massachusetts...he is a tricky one to find. I have been looking for years.
Regards
Billie
Hi Billie, I have not started to trace William Henry's lineage as yet, but what I did find says he was born in Salem NJ but unfortunately I do not know anything of his 1st and 3rd marraiges sorry, you are welcome to take the info that we have on our tree as it is all public.
I remember seeing whakapapa in relation to Kataraina in one of my searches around the Rotorua region but I did not keep it as I was looking for lineage pertaining to my grand father Te Ngaroata Rogers.
This I do know of the marraige relating to you
William Henry Rogers b 1809 to 05-11-1874 = Kataraina Rangikawhiti
There children that I could find are
William(wiri) Rogers b 1857 to 22-04-1917= Te Waharoa
Raiha (Eliza) Rangikawhiti Rogers b 1855 to 1930 = 1st Tom Bennett 2nd William Butt.
Mereana Rogers b 1859 to 1918 = Clay ?
Charles Hare Rogers b 1861 to 1923 = Rihi Titihuia RATETE
Children of charles and Rihi are as follows
Whakarongotai Rogers b 1886 to 1955 = Hera Hetet
Kamu Rogers =
Augustus Rogers = Katarina
Ihipera (Bella) Rogers = Andy Williams
Unfortunately that is all I know that I have documented
