    1. Re: [MOGreene] Russell and Rogers Family
    2. Elaine, I've got some of the information that I believe you are looking for. Matthew W. Russell and his brother Thomas A. Russell married daughters of Robert Doak Rogers (1826-1872) and Jurrita Wilson Watts 1826-1898). The wife of Matthew was Amanda Malvina (Mandy) Rogers and Thomas' wife was Mary Jane (Molly) Rogers. They were both sisters of Dr. Isaac Newton Rogers for whom Rogersville, Webster Co, MO was named. Robert Doak and his wife are buried in the Watts Cem near Rogersville. I have several generations worth of information on this Rogers line if you are interested. Here is a little tidbit that you may find interesting: From an article by in Ozark Notes by Charles E. Rogers: "Mandy and Mollie married brothers - Mat and Tom Russell, farmers, Democrats, Campbellites, and Confeds, by Gum!" Here is some information on Thomas and Matthew's descendants: Descendants of Matthew W. Russell 1 Matthew W.
