Rogers died some 15 years ago at the age of 99 years and 6 months. He was the son of Edward Rogers, who was one of the first settlers of Bullitt Co., coming in 1891 (1801?). He was of old Virginia stock, and was of English descent. He made several trips to Ky. before the country was infested with roaming bands of hostile Indians. Where Louisville now stands was a dense forest with the exception of a few primitive log houses, and between his settlement and where Louisville now stands, along what is now known as the Preston Street Pike, was a continuous lake of water. Edward Rogers was the father of twelve children, ten daughters and two sons, George L. Rogers being the eldest child. He was born in 1793, being eight years old when his father moved from Virginia and settled in Bullitt Co. He died in 1892. Rev. George L. Rogers was married three times, his first wife was a Miss Floyd, closely related to Governor Floyd of Virginia, also related to Colonel Floyd, who built the fort near Shepherdsville and was killed by the Indians and whose dust now slumbers in a neglected graveyard on the farm once owned by Judge Phillips, close to the Mt. Washington and Shepherdsville Road, also close to the Floyd Ford. This stream of water derives its name from Col. Floyd. Mr. Rogers after his first marriage settled in Elizabethtown; he was then 19 years of age. At that place he com- menced preaching and practicing medicine and at odd time working at his trade of hat and chair making. It was while living in Elizabethtown he married the widow Johnson. His first wife died while at Elizabethtown. Then he married Miss Matilda Merrifield. His second wife died in 1839. His third wife was Miss Elizabeth Hart, sister of the late Joseph Hart of Bardstown, Silas and John Hart of Nelson Co. He was the father of nine- teen children all of whom are dead excepting four. Wife of the writer of Bloomfield, ex-sheriff of Bullitt Co., Joseph H. Rogers, Henry Rogers and the widow Emma Queen of Bullitt Co. Mr. Rogers was a man of fine intellect, a man of strong will power and of broad information. He knew the Bible almost by heart. Well versed in medicine and theology as well as history and all the leading questions of the day. He was a man of great energy and ambition, held family worship from the time he was first married at the age of 17 years to his death. Business never got too urgent to interfere with family prayer that came first at morning and night. He had united more couples in marriage up to the time of his death than any other preacher in Ky. He went far and near through all kinds of weather to perform the marriage rites. Friday, September 17, 1909 School began at Colesburg with M. E.

My ancestor's name appeared on lists for these militia districts: 1787 - Atkinson Hill's Tithables list of Pottinger's and Bear's old company (militia dist) 1788 - Capt. Samuel and Capt Christopher Beale's company Can anyone on the list tell me the location of "Pottinger's and Bear's old company, ie militia district in 1787? In 1788, did it become "Capt Samuel and Capt. Chrostopher Beale's company"? If not the same companies in the same militia district area, where was Beale's militia district? Regarding militia district lists... can anyone tell me the significance of (1) and (2) after the name? It has been a long time since I worked with Kentucky tax or militia lists. Does (2) mean that there were 2 males over the age of 16 in the household who were eligible for militia duty? Many thanks for any help on this. I am trying to determine the location where my ancestor lived based on the militia district lists as found in the Nelson Co. Minute Lists. (They lived in Hardin Co. after it was created.)

Dear List, 1860 Cen Hardin Co, Ky; pg 52, Jul 6, 1860, Nolynn; p 136 of 1860 Cen Hardin Co, Ky; Carolyn Wimp, ATHS: # 372 HH 363 Peter Stuart 63 m farmer 5000 4040 Ky Virgil 3 m Ky Martha Johnson 14 f Ky C.M. Stuart 35 m farmer 2240 Ky Nancy 32 f Ky Eliza 6 f Ky Kate 4 Bettie 2 f Ky Mary B. 5/12 f Ky I'm looking for some birth record that would list parents of this Martha Johnson age 14 living in home of Peter Stuart. She is not a sister of Nancy Johnson who married Charles Stuart. So I'm thinking she is a daughter of a brother of Nancy M. Stuart, but I know of no brother that would qualify as the father. Are there birth records in Hardin County, Ky that might identify her parents?
