There appears to be several Rogers families in Pitt Co and some of them have to be connected. I am having a bit of a problem with county line changes in Chowan, Hertford, Gates and throw a little in Bertie in with the same names. RECORDS OF ESTATES - EDGECOMBE COUNTY - 1761 - 1825 - by David Gammon 1. #890 - Petition - Nov 1825 - for division of Negroes and other estate by William Lang, John Lang, Stephen Lang, Robert Lang, David Lang (minor with John Lang his next friend), Shadrack Wooten, William Wooten, Ella Wooten, Elisa Wooten and John Wooten (last 2 minors with Josiah Wooten their next friend), stating the dec died testate in l811 with Exec John Lang and Josiah Wooten. in her Will she left Negroes and other estate to 6 oldest children - Elizabeth Lang, Stephen Rogers, Sarah Wooten, Priscilla Tarlington, William Rogers, and John Rogers. She left land on Black Swamp adj Joshua Eason and Isaiah Langley consisting of 102 acs. Records indicate Elizabeth Lang and Sarah Wooten had also died leaving as heirs the above; Priscilla Tarlington had also died leaving several children (none named) in Va. and Alabama. William Rogers had died leaving an only child Polly who lived in Liverpool in Great Britain; Stephen Rogers lived in Green Co and John Rogers in Kentucky Stephen Rogers of Gates Co married Priscilla - Surname unknown. Stephen was probably the son of Robert and grandson of Robert. He died, she remarried John Warren in 1796 and was found on the Pitt Census in 1800 as a widow. She did not live in Edgecombe but owned land there which is why her will and estate records are also found in Edgecombe. At least two of her children lived in Pitt Co - Elizabeth, Sarah and her son Stephen lived in Greene and his wife divorced him, according to Roger. Elizabeth's son Robert Lang married Mariah Rogers daughter of Stephen Rogers of Edgecombe Co and his wife Elizabeth May - that Elizabeth then remarried John Lang and their children married. Convenient. Stephen Rogers of Edgecombe was the son of Tristam but I can't find out who his father was but think there is some relationship. Back to Stephen and his probable father Robert. The names Stephen, Robert and Daniel are found in Chowan, that area that became Hertford, that area that became Gates. But they are also found in Bertie at the same time. One of the Daniels of Hertford moved to Pitt right after it was formed. And about the same time some of the Bertie family moved BOOK 2 Bertie Co Deed Abstracts by Bradley 1. #123 - 3 May 1774 - Robert (X) Rodgers and wife Mary of Pitt and Isaac Rodgers and wife Ruth of Pitt (or) John Simon (ee) FO by patent Edward Moore - 1724 NS Rocquis WIT Eleazar Rogers Anyone know the relationship of all these people?
