I am having the most trouble with my father's paternal line. Here's what I have so far: My father is TERRY CLOYD RODGERS, son of RICHARD C. (Champin?) RODGERS and FRANCES ELEANOR MILAM RODGERS. My grandfather was born 12/1/1881 in AR; died 2/1960 in Drew County. The first problem I have, of course, is that the spelling of the last name is inconsistent: my grandfather is listed as RODGERS in the 1900 census and ROGERS in the 1920 census. In the 1900 census, he and his brother, HENRY LEE RODGERS, were living with their mother, ELIZABETH "Lizzie" RODGERS. She was born 10/12/1861, the daughter of STEPHEN HENDERSON GRUBBS and ELIZABETH MARGRETT JACKSON GRUBBS, who moved from Talbot Co, GA to Drew County in 1854. She married EUGENE RODGERS, but I don't know where or when. My father thinks that Eugene's full name was MILTON EUGENE RODGERS and that he died about 1884. He has no idea where or when Eugene was born. He thinks Eugene's parents might have been RICHARD RODGERS and ROSIE WELTH (or something like that.) He's not real sure about these names and doesn't know anything else about them. I did not find any likely candidates in the Drew County census records for 1860, 1870 or 1880. I am at wit's end here. Can anyone help? Terry Kay (Rodgers) Wheeler twheeler@telemedtoday.com
