Hello List, I'm looking for the parents of my ggggrandfather Joel Rogers who was born in Granville or Wake Co., NC in 1798. I believe him to be related to the large group of Rogers who came from the Rhode Island area, but am not positive about that. He married Sally Norred in 1822 in Bibb Co., AL and had two sons while there: Marshal P. Rogers born 1825 and William Rogers born 1826. The family then moved to Weakley Co., TN where two more sons were born: James Rogers born 1828 and George Rogers born 1830. Joel owned/farmed land in Weakley Co., near Job Rogers, Dr. Jubilee Rogers, Thomas Rogers, John and John W. Rogers and others. Joel and his family then moved to Leake Co., MS where he bought land and lived for several years. I believe he died around 1853 or so in Leake Co. His son, Marshal P. Rogers was my gggrandfather who left MS and moved to Louisiana, bought land in 1861 just before LA susceeded from the Union and before the Civil War began in that area. He moved his famil! y into Texas after that. If anyone knows anything about this Joel Rogers and who his parents might have been, I would greatly appreciate the information. Thank You, Eileen Rogers Mullins nemullins@msn.com
