  • Notes 
    • Died intestate and insolvent. His creditors were paid 20¢ per dollar owed.
      His widow, Abigail, was permitted to purchase the house for $83. All children were minors and were not named.
      On another page, his widow is called “Elizabeth”, but is clearly signed “Abigail Rogers”

      ——
      No grave has been found for Simon, so I presume he was buried in a pauper’s grave.
      ——
      1790 Census shows he had 2 sons and 2 daughters - all under 16 years old.
      Since his marriage to Abigail was a couple of months before his death, I presume he was married before.
