Mary Bivens married Thomas Rogers on 18 September 1820 in Kentucky.
Mother of ten children.
"Communication was entirely cut off, provisions were very short, and much suffering ensued. Breadstuff had become entirely exhausted. Some painful scenes of suffering occurred, among which we note the removal of Mother Rogers from her deathbed from her home, which was inundated by the rising waters near Ruby station. Her deliverers barely escaped being overwhelmed by the floods. They took her to Milford, where she died a few days afterward." (History of Seward County Nebraska by W. W. Cox, p. 41; 1888)
From a passage about Mrs. Permilia (Rogers) Long, a daughter of Thomas and Mary (Bivens) Rogers: ". . . in 1862 her parents came to Nebraska, locating on a farm of one hundred and sixty acres in J precinct, Seward county, where they spent the remainder of their lives. The father, who throughout life followed agricultural pursuits, died May 13, 1876, the mother in April, 1867, and the remains of both were interred in Union cemetery in J precinct." (Memorial & Biographical Record & Compendium of Biography, Geo A. Ogle & Co., p. 454; 1899 Chicago)
NOTE: The grave marker is in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, not Union Cemetery.
Mother of ten children.
