Surnames: Rodgers/Rogers/Howard Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ea.2ADI/752 Message Board Post: I have a Mariah Rodgers 1862 -abt1901,who married Louis Howard abt 1858-1933 in Macon. As the story has been told, Mariah was mulatto and when she was in any trouble or needed money,would go to the back door of a large home on Rodgers Ave of a white family and would get help. She died young and her children as young adults also went to this house for help. No other info on this house or family but I'd love any ideas or info. No information on Mariah's parents but her children always thought her father or mother was a relative of that home. Louis Howard was an outcast of his family and I have no information on his parents. On the 1880 census with Louis & Mariah was listed a Julius Howard 1 year old. He is listed as no relation to Louis then in the 1900 he is listed as son. My grandfather said when his brother got grown he left and was never heard of again. Looking for any children of Fisher Howard also.
