John Rodgers (8 August 1812 – 5 May 1882), son of Commodore John Rodgers, was born near Havre de Grace, Maryland.
Commander Rodgers and Captain Wright were captured by General William Taliaferro of the Virginia State Militia, but since Virginia had not yet joined the Confederate States, and was therefore not at war against the United States, Governor John Lecter returned the two officers to Washington.
Commander Rodgers was then sent to the Western Rivers, where he organized the Mississippi Flotilla and supervised construction of the City Class Gunboats, the first ironclad gunboats on the western rivers.
