Sarah Rodgers (maiden name: Clements) was born around 1820 in Pennsylvania. She married William Rodgers, and they had at least two children: Mary Catherine, born around 1841; and Michael, born around 1847. The family lived in Brookville, Pennsylvania, where Rodgers worked as a farmer and local office-holder. In 1870, the family moved $1,400 of real estate and $300 of personal property. Rodgers died on February 5, 1896, and she applied for a widow’s pension two weeks later. She died around 1905 and was buried in Brookville Cemetery.
