- James Rogers (congressman)
James Rogers (October 24, 1795 - December 21, 1873) was a United States Representative from South Carolina. He was born in what is now Goshen Hill Township, Union County, South Carolina. He completed preparatory studies and was graduated from South Carolina College (now the University of South Carolina) at Columbia, South Carolina in 1813. Later, he studied law and was admitted to the bar and began practice in Yorkville (now York), South Carolina.
Rogers held various local offices before he was elected as a Jacksonian to the Twenty-fourth Congress (March 4, 1835-March 3, 1837). He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1836 to the Twenty-fifth Congress. Years later, he was elected as a Democrat to the Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh Congresses (March 4, 1839-March 3, 1843). He died in South Carolina on December 21, 1873 and was buried in what was formerly called the Irish Graveyard at Kings Creek A.R.P. Church near Newberry, South Carolina.
