-- ANSWER
Ann Williams [Pendleton] Rogers was another in the long list of Pendletons who were involved in the maritime industries and traveled extensively. She and her husband, Richard J Rogers had 2 children, Allen and Ernest. Allen died in 1858 at age 12 in Havana, Cuba. Ernest died in 1857 at age 3 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Ann died in 1861 at age 41 in Marseilles, France. I’m not sure exactly where Richard died, but everything indicates he died in the US. So… the correct answer is C. All of her immediate family died in different countries.
