Searching for more information on the family of Robert Roy Rodgers. He was born to John and Mary Rodgers.

Question

He was born on March 26, 1898 in Pennsylvania. Robert Roy Rodgers married Martha Jane Hissom. Robert Roy died in 1963 in Pennsylvania. Martha moved to Ohio after his death. Robert and Martha had several children, that I am aware of; including Louis Delano, Margaret, Martha Jean, John, Barbara and Marion. I am trying to find out if he had any siblings and am looking for additional information on his parents or the parents of Martha Jane Hissom

Answer 1

These are in the order I found them. He seemed to have used "Roy" more than he used "Robert".

1910: Washington, Fayette, Pennsylvania; Roll: T624_1347; Page: 11B; Enumeration District: 88;

(Name, age in 1910, birthplaces)

(AS INDEXED - 31-year old Mary cannot be John's daughter)

John Rodgers, 38, head, PA, PA, NY

Mary Rodgers, 31, dau, Scitland, Scot, Scot

Roy Rodgers, 11, son, PA, PA, Scot

Christian Rodgers, 6, dau, PA, PA, Scot

Katherine Rodgers, 6/12, dau, PA, PA, Scot

Mary Rodgers, 20, dau, PA, PA, Scot

I suspect 20-year old Mary is John's sister, too. She could be his daughter from a previous marriage to a Scot, but she can't be 31-year old Mary's daughter.

1900: Portage, Cambria, Pennsylvania; Roll: T623 1389; Page: 25A; Enumeration District: 152.

John Rodgers, 28  head, PA

Mary Rodgers, 21  wife, Scot

Ray Rodgers, 1, son  

William Rodgers, 21, brother

No 10-year old Mary, which hints strongly that my suspicion about the 20-year old Mary in 1910 being a younger sister was accurate.  

1920: Fallowfield, Washington, Pennsylvania; Roll: T625_1660; Page: 19A; Enumeration District: 179

John T Rodgers, 48  head, Pa

Mary Rodgers, 41  wife, Scot

Christine Rodgers, 15  

Elisa Rodgers, 5  

Katherine, b. 1910, has probably died.
