The following information relative to this grave is extracted from The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey 71:11 (1996): "Woodward & Hageman's History of Burlington and Mercer Counties, N.J. (1883), 809, states that 'One John Rogers had [a private burial-lot] on his farm, on land now owned by Ralph Rogers, of West Windsor township.' When copied by Edward J. Raser in May 1952 only the gravestone for Rachel, wife of John Rogers, could be found. It was then leaning against a tree in a hedgerow; nearby residents said it came from a former graveyard in the field immediately northwest of the gravestone. Since then a clearing has been made in the hedgerow and the stone now stands in the center of a small plot enclosed by a white picket fence. The stone can be found by proceeding, from its beginning at Old Trenton (Edinburg) Road, northwest on South Post Road 0.65 mile to a dead end. 0.1 mile northwest of this point can be seen a long, ancient hedgerow boundary line, defined by old trees and dense overgrowth, running approximately northeast to southwest. Proceed forward by foot on a dirt road which trends westerly to follow the hedgerow on its southeast side. The gravestone site lies in the hedgerow, somewhat over 1/3 mile south-southwest from Post Road, in West Windsor Township." Note: As of 4/13/2016, the gravestone has been relocated again and set off in a picket-fenced plot near the 1761 John and Rachel Rogers house ruins, on the other (north) side of the Hughes Drive entrance roadway into the county park.
