James Rogers was the father of the famous Major Robert Rogers, leader of Rogers Rangers in the period of the French and Indian War in colonial America.  Robert also had three brothers who served in the Rangers, James Rogers,  Richard Rogers and John Rogers.  Robert had advanced to the rank of Lt Col of the Queens Rangers, James to Lt Col of the Kings Rangers,  Richard died a Captain of small pox in 1757 and it is unknown what became of John but he may have traveled to Charleston, South Carolina with Robert in 1762 and stayed in the South. This web site lists the known descendants of their father James Rogers who reportedly came from Ireland in 1729. These Rangers are the namesake of today's US Army Rangers and  Green Berets, their fighting tactics are key to today's elite forces.

The Rogers family settled in what is now Dunbarton, New Hampshire where James named the area of the Great Meadow, Montalona for his old home near Londonderry, Ireland.  In 2005 I registered Montalona.com for the new home of this web site. The cellar site of the Rogers home is located on Robert Rogers Rd. approximately 1/2 mile west of Montalona Rd.

This site started in 2004 by a 5th great grandson of Col James Rogers U.E. The Lord Dorchester in the proclamation of 1789 granted all descents, male and female, of persons who lived in colonial America prior to the Revolution and fought for the Royal Standard in the American Revolution, the right to use the initials U.E. after their name. U.E. stands for Unity of the Empire and is sometimes referred to as UEL or United Empire Loyalists which is an association of U.E. members. In this site all direct descendants of Col James Rogers have a U.E. after their name, also note descendants that did not fight for the crown and remained in America do not carry this title.  Books about the Rogers Family are at the bottom of each page.

The Vancouver Law School era nevertheless produced many fine lawyers and jurists, Alexander B. Robertson, who articled in Vancouver from 1925 to 1928, seems to have been a relatively content student of law society legal education during the inter-war years. Robertson was, overall, impressed by both the stature of the lecturers and by the quality of instruction provided:
Alexander Robertson thought that the old law society school had it all over modern university law faculties. Students under the old regime benefited greatly, in his view, from spending their days downtown on legal work and their evenings in the courthouse for lectures. Proximity to real-life litigation was, he thought, a great advantage. As a student, Robertson had been in the habit of dropping "into a courtroom to listen to whatever case was going on". This experience, he continued, was an important component of legal education that has since been lost:
I think that one of the differences between the training that would-be lawyers get at the Faculty of Law today and the training that those of us who went to the Vancouver Law School had is this: that we used to have to go to the Courthouse frequently to file documents and things of that kind and nearly everybody would drop in for a certain length of time to listen to what was going on in the courts and we all observed all the different counsel. The people at the Faculty of Law don’t have that opportunity and I think that this is one reason why so many of them when they come out of there hardly know how to behave in Court.
