I am adding onto the info that Cosetta gave you ... John A Rogers married 7 Aug 1891 to Margaret Cain daughter of John "Buck" Cain. John A. Rogers is the son of: John Rogers who lived at Rock Lick, Jackson Co. KY married 25 Sep 1862 to Abby Jane Powell daughter of Cleveland and Linda Abner Powell. Abby was married 3 times. She married first John Rogers, second Jim Blue Alcorn and third William Willis on the 4 May 1908. John Rogers was known as the best person to cradle oat in the state. John had a brother, Jim, and his wife Nannie are buried in the Hade Rose Cemetery in Red Lick, KY. This info is from page 611 of The Rogers Family by Ellen and Diane Rogers. Now on your James Carpenter. We need more information ... I have lots of them in my database. Do you have his date of birth and date and place of death? Even approximate time periods would help. The Carpenters fathered lots of bastards and married and divorced like crazy in the 1800's. They were quite prolific and always in trouble for something ... so very interesting to research ... And and the same thing on your Jarvis Van Winkle? What date did he die and where? good luck, Donny Perry
