Margaret Elizabeth Wells and Albert Lorain Rogers
Margaret Elizabeth Wells was born in November 1849 in Indiana. It is said that she was born in Vincennes, Indiana and that her father was a Methodist minister. I have not been able to find a Margaret Wells in the 1850 or 1860 census in Vincennes or one with a father who was a minister. She moved to Hamilton County, Ohio as a young girl to find work and married Albert Lorain Rogers there on May 5, 1870. She died in Hamilton County, Ohio April 27, 1907. I am tryng to find who her parents were.
