Hi Peggy, My GGgrandfather is Hiram Franklin ROGERS b. 1835. The 1860 census for Adair Co. show him as being from Clinton Co. ....Clinton Co. was formed in 1836 from Cumberland Co,KY. The only thing I know about my Hiram's mother is that her name is Nancy(____)Rogers EAST born abt. 1806/07 KY. A lady named Sara Beth SWOPE has SWOPE and GWINN surnames on her husbands side and she said that the name Nancy runs through there lines a lot. Meanwhile my ROGERS,CROSS and GIBBONS connect to each other. Then I had found that George GWINN info showing that connection to a GIBBONS so that rang a bell! I also found thes two things below........ (1) 409 "This indenture witnesseth that on the 6th day of May 1870 A A Swope filed his petition in equity in the clerks office of the Clinton Circuit Court against Sylvester E. Swope Aseneth McCullum Eliza Easow Esaw her husband Malinda Hardwick John Hardwick her husband James _ Swope R S swope G H Swope J D Swope George Swope James _ Swope Hiram F Rogers Martha Hurt Benne Hurt her husband James East Florence East and the unknown heirs of Joseph Swope _ children and heirs of George Swope desceand allegeing in his said petition that the said George Swope the ancestor of the defendants did seize and possess of two certain tracts or parcels of land........." (2) BOOK B p. 129 "Surveyed October the 15th 1828, for Hiram Rogers a_ William Wood, 50 acres of land in Cumberland County on the head drafts of Smith's Creek, by virtue of Kentucky Land office warrant NO. 18120. Beginning at two white oaks, a beech and dead poplar, corner to George Swope, thence with his line, N. 83o W. 33 poles to a beech and lynn, John Wade's corner; thence with his line N. 58o W. 40 poles to a beech, white oak and sugar tree; thence N. 20o E. 33 poles to two poplars and a black oak; thence N. 52o W. 40 poles to a black oak and white oak, thence N. 12o E. 20 poles to three dogwoods, thence N. 40o E.40 poles to a black oak and white oak; thence S. 50o E. 55 poles to an ash; thence N. 70o E. 16 poles to a cedar and hickory above the head of a spring, thence S. 17o E. 76 poles to a stake, thence S. 33o W. poles to the beginning. James Cowan C.C. Wm. Wood D.S. and George Gwinn N.K.s Isaac Taylor William Campbell, Marker" It seems that Swope land and Wade land are to the west of Rogers. I have a HUGE brickwall going on. :( Thanks, Theresa Rogers Griffiths ----- Original Message ----- From: <Pigsmont@aol.com> To: <KYADAIR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 17, 2002 3:15 PM Subject: [KYADAIR] Re: KYADAIR-D Digest V02 #275 > Theresa writes: Anyone working on these lines? > > George W.
