Biographical History
ohn Rodgers, born in Maryland in 1773, entered the United States Navy in 1798 as a lieutenant. He was soon promoted to captain and later became a commodore. Rodgers's distinguished naval career lasted more than forty years and included service during the Tripolitan War, the War of 1812, and more than two decades of service on the Board of Navy Commissioners, of which he was president. Three of his sons, Frederick, Henry, and John, followed him into the navy, as did several of his grandsons and great-grandsons. Other family members who served in the navy included his brother George Washington Rodgers, his nephew Christopher Raymond Perry Rodgers, his brothers-in law John D. Henley and Henry Denison, and Matthew C. Perry, who was twice connected to Rodgers by marriage.
