Rogers is the family that made my mother and father kin. My uncle ,now decd., got me into geneology. Being my mother's brother he supplied me with his family to a point and that is where I began my agony of geneology reserch. My mother's grandmother was a Brand. These Brands made it easy as they have been researched to the max and there was plenty of info. I found most of the Brands in America came through Westerly Rhode Island. 30 years later while I was researching my Duplin County Sullivans, mainly Michael Campbell Sullivan, I came upon a thriller. I have found or have been furnished a book full of information on Michael Campbell Sullivan in which I found the following info. John Sullivan Sr. was the husband of Agga Ford. But in the documents I found Michael Campbell Sullivan wasn't Agga's son. DNA test has Michael being the son of John Sullivan Sr. Documents say that Michael was the Half Brother of Eleazor Campbell and William Campbell who was killed in The American Revelution. Documents also say that a John Rogers Sr. was the brother of the mother of Eleazor, William, and Michael. So if the documents are all true then Michael was a Sullivan whose mother was a Rogers, raised by a Campbell, who was an heir of John Sullivan whose wife was a Ford. "Amazing". Now to your question and the tie in of my mother and father. After finding Michaels mother's maden name was Rogers, naturally by force of 30 years of habit, I started looking into the Rogers, 1st in Duplin County. I found at least 3 Pelegs of differant generations in Duplin County only. But the name I was researching was John Rogers who was born circa 1728. There is where I found record (unproven) of a man who was born circa 1695 in of all places Westerly Rhode Island and had died in Duplin County Circa 1775. His name was Peleg Rogers (of course) which all is on Dad's side. The amazing part was Peleg's wife died 25 April 1754 in Wilmington North Carolina and her name was Isabella Brand Rogers who was also born in Westerly Rhode Island. Isabella was the daughter of Thomas Brand born in North Kingdom, Rhode Island died 1730 at Westerly Rhode Island and Elizabeth Babcock of Westerly Rhode Island. Now Isabella had a younger brother named Benjamin Brand who was the Ancestor of my Mother. Benjamin Brand was one of the first names from the beginning of my 30 years of research. Dad was from Duplin County North Carolina and mom from Tift County Georgia but were tied from birth by the Children of Thomas Brand and Elizabeth Babcock. "Amazing" Peleg Rogers father was Thomas Rogers born at Newport Rhode Island and died 22 August 1739 at Westerly R. I. Their issue, Peleg Mary, Anna, Elizabeth, Leah, Penelope, Precilla, Rebecca, Job, Ruth, and Sarah. Peleg Rogers Born in Westerly R.I. married Isabella Brand and had the following: (Partial listing) John, Job, Thomas, James, Benjamin, Peleg (son's names from road contract) Was there a will? As there were no female names listed in pelegs family above, who is the mother of Michael Campbell Sullivan born circa 1760? I feel certain (unproven) the John mentioned is the John Rogers Sr. on the proof of death of William Campbell and the uncle of Michael Campbell Sullivan.
