: : : I know that Robert Rogers was of Scottish descent, and have recently learned that I am somewhat Celtic myself.  I know that Rogers used the thistle as part of his unit's insignia, and I understand that the thistle is the emblem of Clan Stuart, from which I hail (doesn't everybody?), but also commonly used as an all-around symbol of Scotland itself.  I was wondering if anybody (perhaps Maj. Bray?) could tell me what Clan Rogers claimed as his own?  Perhaps if there were any paintings showing him wearing a tartan, it could be determined from that, but I didn't know the first place to look, so I came here first.

:  Using the Clan Tartan to ID Rodger`s clan would be next to impossible because the tartan was never used that way untill Queen Victoria made it a fashion in the 1890`s. The use of the tartan plaid and bagpipes were even outlawed at one point in time as a way of showing that they were ruled by the English. The only way that you could wear the kilt was if you joined a Highland Unit in the English Army. There are a lot more details that go along with all this but you get what I`m trying to say. With a little bit of research, one should be able to find his clan.
