Biographical / Historical Note
The Reverend Daniel Rogan, Jr. was born in 1806. His father was an Irish immigrant who brought his family to the area in 1816. Daniel Rogan Sr. worked as a surveyor, and the survey papers in the collection likely belonged to him. Daniel Rogan Jr. became a Presbyterian minister, preaching at churches throughout SullivanCountyincluding Kingsport Presbyterian Church where he served as pastor for several years, dying in 1881. Much of this information was obtained from the book Kingsport Heritage: The Early Years: 1700-1900 by Muriel Miller Clark Spoden (Spoden Associates, Kingsport TN, 1991).
