Posted on: Covington Co. Ms Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ms/Covington/739 Surname: Gransberry ------------------------- Hi! I am not sure about the spelling. On my grgrandfathers death certificate his mother was listed as Gransberry born in Jasper County. You know how informants are with information and the person writing with spelling. We find so many descrepancies on that sort of thing. I knew there was a cemetery in Covington County with Grandberrys and I guess I am grasping at straws. I would appreciate your tree if you have a Francis or any others in Jasper County. This may not be anything, I just hit and miss. My grandfather was from Smith County so the Smith County folks may work as well. Thanks, Barbara

There are also some from Jasper, Wayne, Clarke and several other counties. My Rootsweb site is listed below and is centered mainly on the NORWOOD - DUCKWORTH - MAGEE - ROGERS - ALLEN - BRASHER - COOLEY - TRAVIS - GRANBERRY families. Of course, you can't mix all of them and not come out with a few hundred ROGERS.:)) I welcome corrections and additions to my information. Most of it comes from secondary sources (other people) and the site is constantly under construction.

I'm from the Shadrack Rogers line (Carolinas, Miss.) who moved into the Collins area/Covington Co., Miss. I've not seen or heard of a Wilson Rogers, Methodist. Most Rogers are Southern Baptist from this line and many helped establish churches in the area. I've seen many William Rogers name,but not a Wilson. Have you seen anything that could prove who Shadrack's parents were? I have someone who says he knows that the father is Timothy of Nansemond Co., Va. While awaiting his information, I'm still looking.

Posted on: Covington Co. Ms Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ms/Covington/725 Surname: Rogers ------------------------- Hi Andy. I have no further information on Wilson's parents names or his siblings. I only know that he and his parents were born in Mississippi due to info provided on the 1880 Coryell Co. census. I appreciate the lookup but I guess I'll keep searching and hopefully I'll find something. :0)
Posted on: Covington Co. Ms Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ms/Covington/724 Surname: Shadrack Rogers ------------------------- Hi Nicole: I am researching the Rogers family of Covington County, Mississippi. I have a book on the descendants of Shadrack Rogers. I checked, but did not find the names listed in your query. However, if your Rev. Wilson Rogers was born in Covington County, MS, he would most likely be a descendant of Shadrack Rogers. Do you have any other data as to who his parents were, or maybe sisters and brothers? You may contact me at andymillr@aol.com Andy Miller, Colorado Springs, CO
Posted on: Covington Co. Ms Queries Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ms/Covington/722 Surname: Rogers ------------------------- My gggrandfather Rev. Wilson Rogers was born in Mississippi possibly Covington Co. on January 22, 1843 and died on May 26, 1899. He married Prudia/Prudence J. Williamson who was born in Arkansas in 1851 - ? on October 30,1872 in Coryell County Texas. I'm told they had 8 children but these are the only ones listed in the 1880 federal census in Coryell County Texas: Daniel M. age 13 Stephen E. age 9 William T. 1873-1936 George Washington 1876 - 1912? Marion A. age 1 Wilson was said to have been married twice but I have found nothing of his other wife or children. But I've been told the other childrens names were Wilson, Ami and Leila? Wilson was a Methodist minister and a Confederate Veteran. I'm also told that Prudia was a native american. Wilson is buried at Flat Rock Cemetery in Llano County,Texas. Daniel M. & Stephen E. are children from a previous marriage? I know that their mother was born in Texas according to the 1880 census. Wilson and his parents were born in Mississippi, there just has to be some Rogers out there that know of this family. Please help!
