Glen, Evidently Elizabeth Dale Young, Dodson Rogers left a will in Lancaster Co., Va in 1728. She named her children Thomas Young, Robert Young, Reuben Young, William Dodson, Charles Dodson and Ann Rogers. The only dates of any of the marriages for Elizabeth Dale is March 12, 1677/78 to William Rogers, son of Capt. John Rogers. Joe, At present I don't have much on your Dale side. I will use the info you sent to see if I can find anything. I have filled in my database with what you sent me on Rogers, and am sending you a file which takes you one generation back. It's all I have at present. I hope it's of some help. Flora FIRST GENERATION 1. John Capt. ROGERS1 was born in 1620 in Eng/VA.1 He was a vestryman of Chicacone parish in May 1655 2 He was Sheriff for 1655-56.3 He died before 21 Jul 1680 in VA.2 will was presented for probate, is no longer of record in Northumberland Co. Capt John Rogers was the first of this family in VA, on 8/4/1655 stated his age was 45. He purchased 250 acres in Northumberland Co. from James Claughton on 1/20 1652/3. On Nov 30, 1656 he repatented the 300 acres he had originally patented in 1654 (Viirginia Patents, v 4 pp 39-40.v. 3 p 277). He added another 200 acres on 8/31/1657 (VA Patents v 4, p 204) and on 1/9/1662/3 repatented this land and his 250 acres origiinally patented in 1654. (ibid, p. 569) On 7/20/1654 John conveyed a calf to each of his children Katherine, Elizabeth and John (Northumberland co. VA, Record Bk 14, p 47r) John Rogers and his wife Ellen had: 1. Elizabeth 2.

Richard ROGERS died before 20 May 1703. He was a in Justice of Northumberland Co. VA; elected to House of Burgesses. Had 3 children Richard, John and Hannah all dec'd by 5/20/1703. Also a son William Rogers who d. young. 6. William ROGERS died in 1714 in Lancaster co.. See VA Genealogist Vol11 for more details about him. or d. 1744 Married Elizabeth DALE March 12 1677/78 in Lancaster Co. I am not certain whether Elizabeth DALE was the daughter of Edward DALE and Diana SKIPWORTH or Reuben DALE and Elizabeth SIMMONDS. There is conflicting information. It was first thought that Elizabeth DALE who married Thomas YOUNG, William DODSON and William ROGERS was the daughter of Reuben because of the fact that from previous email from me: Reuben Dale appears in the records of Old Rapahannock Co. in 1685 and 1689. This Reuben Dale was dead by 1692 and his wife Elizabeth was his executrix. Richmond and Essex Counties were formed from Old Rappahannock Co. in 1692. Abraham, thomas, and a younger Elizabeth Dale lived in Richmond Co. in the Northern Neck of Virginia. They must have been the heirs of this Reuben Dale, but the proof is yet to be found. {April 4, 1960}. Then I found this in the descendents of The Farish Fajmily of Virginia and Its Forebears, by John Fredrick Dorman, Priv. publ. 1967. See: pg 58, "The Rogers Family" also, pp. 106-108, "Descent of Elizabeth (Dale) Rogers from Henry, the Third, King of England and Sureties of Magna Charta." Descendants of Capt. Thomas Carter, by Joseph Lyon Miller, M.D. Reprint C.J. Carrier Co., 1972. See: pp. 12-25, "The Dale and Skipwith Familes." This has Elizabeth's lineas as being from Edward DALE and Diana SKIPWORTH. But it is fairly certain that whoever Elizabeth DALE was she died and left a will in 1728 in Lancaster Co., Va and named 6 of her children: 1.Thomas Young 2.Robert Young 3.Reuben Young 4.William Dodson 5.Charles Dodson and 6. Ann Rogers This may well be a brother to Charles, what do you think. Joe Payne Knoxville, TN line of ShirleeS@aol.com
