I have a whole book on the Rogers family that settled at Rogers Grove in Linn County, Iowa. I could not find a match for any of the names you mentioned with the Rogers in my book. The title of the book is, "The Rogers Family Pioneers," and it is written by Jacob E. Rogers. I don't know where the book came from - it must have been passed down from my parents but I don't know anything beyond that.
