    Notes:

    The "Casey Notes" (Library/James Jeffrey 1835/Item 1, pages 33/4)report the following, paraphrased here:
    'James met Sarah when visiting a property owned by his father in (March?) 1859. He had come to "settle an estate on a nearby property." That property was near Sarah's parents home on the Bethesda-Morristown Road, Ohio, called Emerald Hills Farm (see picture in Library/James Jeffrey 1835/6-Sarah Rogers' House.)

    James' first visit was only brief but he was so struck by her that he proposed marriage in a letter upon his return home (various letters in the possession of Virginia Kinney). A subsequent visit in July fostered the acquaintance such that they were married in December, 1859.

    Initially they lived in Canada for a few years. Sarah visited her parents when Andrew Arthur was an infant (1861?) Sarah's parents visited James and Sarah in Canada in the winter of 1863-4 (US Civil War era). Sarah's brother Hugh Rogers also visited in 1862 or 1864 after service in the Union Army and the death of his brother (Aug 1862) from typhoid while briefly serving in the same army.

    In 1864/5 James and Sarah moved to Barnesville Ohio (near Morristown and Bethesda, OH). There James opened the first hardware store (later owned by his Brothers-in-law Thomas and Arthur Rogers).

    Then they moved to Mecklenburg County, Virginia where James owned property. James died in a year or two (age 37) when he inhaled poison ivey fumes while burning brush. Sarah brought her children back to Ohio and had a farm near her old home. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church there.'
