Copley, and his house is noted in Copley's letter of January 21, 1796: "Mr. Rogers and his lady now inhabit their new house: a spacious brick dwelling, two rooms only on a floor in the main house; the kitchen forms a wing."

In 1805 he donated three silver dishes "In the hope that our Members may have continual additions, under the excellent Ministry of our Beloved Pastor."
