Best Answer

Rodger Baskerville was the youngest of three brothers: Charles, a second brother who fathered Henry Baskerville, and Rodger himself. He was the spitting image of Hugo Baskerville, the man who's actions (circa 1650) and fate created the legend of their family. Known as the black sheep of the family, Rodger gained a bad reputation in England and left for Central America where he died in 1876 of yellow fever. Late in the story the reader learns that he had a son also named Rodger Baskerville.

There is a third Rodger Baskerville, the son of the Hugo Baskerville who wrote the 'curse' manuscript dated 1742.

There are three Rodger Baskervilles in 'The Hound of the Baskervilles,' and this is what we know about where and when they died. 1. Presumably in or near Baskerville Hall, circa 1800. 2. Central America in 1876. 3. Presumably near the end of The Hound of the Baskervilles in the Grimpen Mire, circa late 1880's.

What does Dr. Mortimer tell Holmes about Rodger Baskerville the other potential heir?

"The only other kinsman whom we have been able to trace was Rodger Baskerville, the youngest of three brothers of whom poor Sir Charles was the elder. The second brother, who died young, is the father of this lad Henry. The third, Rodger, was the black sheep of the family. He came of the old masterful Baskerville strain, and was the very image, they tell me, of the family picture of old Hugo. He made England too hot to hold him, fled to Central America, and died there in 1876 of yellow fever." -- Dr. Mortimer, Chapter 3, 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'
