Thanks for this valuable source of information. You have pointed me int he direction of some other places to look. I am surprised to hear there were no death records, although the information is about as complete as you would get on a death certificate. I have asked for someone to look at the grave and hope there still is one and there is some confirming information on it.

Ohio Susan,

Can you tell me what kind of records this is, because there does not appear to be a death certificate, Yet there must be. There must have been a inquest or report on this locally. No death certificate seems strange.

Firstly, Ohio- many thanks. Surely it seems unlikely that there were 2 Rogers born in Maine, same age, same , wife Laura Bernice, Bernice dying in the same place in Midland Michigan. I can see that there may have been a transcription error on with his birth record. This has me perplexed
Genealiza- I think this would be a good idea. It would be important to get all the information to complete the search.

Many thanks to Ohio Susan and Shelley esq. That certainly looks like Greenleaf but what are your thoughts on the discrepancy in names? (His wife was called Laura Bernice, by the way. On the pension document it says McDonald but on other places Bernice Ross!) It definitely calls him Greenleaf Celdon on the pension doc.

Wow, that is exciting. Thank you so much. Do you think there is more to get on his record or would that be all. Are you able to share the sources of this information?
Man, many thanks,Jen

I have found a record of a civil war pension for a Greenleaf Celdon Rogers. Can anyone tell me how to get further information on the pension records or service of said person? His wife Laura must have received a widows pension following his death. It seems this was in Colorado, but am unable to find any trace of Greenleaf or his wife Laura on the census. I know that his son Frank Celdon Rogers was born in Midland Michigan 1871, so Colorado is a mystery. No record of them on the 1870 census. This is a real brick wall. Any help appreciate.
Thanks Jen

Are these Canadian Archives something you pay to view or accessible to everyone? Amazing. Thank you.

That is an amazing amount of information you found. I can hardly believe it. You must be a very good researcher......and such detail on the border crossing. Wish they had been more detailed back when. I did know about Warren but not about George. Need to study this more to take all in.
Many thanks
