Publisher's Synopsis
This book traces the ancestry of Marion Katherine Rodgers (1898-1992). Marion was born and lived her life in Conneaut, Ohio. She married twice: first to a grocer (Heasman) and second to a clothing store owner (Gruber). Her parents were Dr. Clarence Frederick Rodgers of Ironton, Ohio and Katherine Margaret Nellis of Mill Creek, Pennsylvania. Their immediate ancestors had the surnames Rodgers, Allison, Boal, Nilles, Koch, Kroft, and Schiesley. Marion descends from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century immigrants from Northern Ireland, England, France, and Germany. She also descends from seventeenth-century Pilgrims and Quakers, many of whom earned their place in American history.
