Surnames: Rodgers Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/hgDBAIB/99.129 Message Board Post: Robert: I am researching Robert Rodgers, and his descendents, who lived in Old Hanover, PA during this same time. Robert settled in the Swatara River area, which, in modern reference, is east of Harrisburg. There were two famous Presbyterian churches in the area that at time. The confusing issue is that the reference is not to the current town of Hanover, PA, but to this area east of modern Harrisburg that was, at that time, the western frontier of the United States. I suggest your visit or call the Lancaster Historical Society, in Lancaster, PA, and ask them to review the Rodgers file. I believe that there is a report on William Rodgers and his descendents in that file. A copy is also in the Dauphine County Historical Society (the county of modern Harrisburg). Good luck, and let me know what you find. Cordially, Ken Kenneth W. Rodgers

Does anyone on this list have or know of deeds on Flag Spring branch, Frying Pan Creek, or Pigg River? Flag Spring is a branch of Frying Pan, which is a branch of Pigg River which flows into now Smith Mountain Lake and lies in Pittsylvania County (formerly Halifax, formerly, Lunenburg, formerly Brunswick). Period of interest is approximately 1736 to 1800. I am interested in any surnames, but especially Caldwell, Colwell, Chadwell, Rogers, Rodgers. Carmen J. Finley

The site this information came from, a GINGER family site, does not provide any thing other than the name, so I don't know if Rodgers is her maiden name. Does anyone out there have a clue?

My grandfather, Lester Samuel Rodgers used to write to some cousins in Midway, Woodford Co., Ky.. I was wondering if any of the descendents of these cousins are still around. My grandfather's father, my great grandfather, was Dr. John Fleming Rodgers (1827--1902) who lived the last 28 yrs of his life in Clifton, Woodford Co., Ky. and is buried in Versailles Cemetery. I am trying to find out who his parents and/or line of Rodgers were. I thought if I could find some of these distant cousins, then perhaps they might have a clue or some info. Plus, it is always nice to meet distant relatives. Thanks, Dave Millbrook, Al.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hgDBAIB/1756 Message Board Post: ELIJAH ROGERS (pages 425 - 429) I am now standing on historic ground-the ancient site of the Forks of Little Pigeon (now Sevierville) Church, the first Baptist church of Sevier County, constituted in 1789. Just out there stood the old meeting-house, where the Baptist saints worshipped, and where Richard Wood and Elijah Rogers preached the gospel and ministered to them as pastors for more than fifty years. And here in the old cemetery is a tombstone bearing the inscription: "Sacred to the memory of Elijah Rogers; born May, 1774; died May, 1841." Maj. E. E. McCroskey, a descendant of Elijah Rogers, says the Rogers family is originally from Wales. In its later history, it was identified with the Puritan stock of Plymouth Rock fame. Two brothers of this name came from over the waters in the "May Flower" with the goodly company of the Pilgrim Fathers. One of them located in Massachusetts, the other in Virginia. The members of the family in the New England states have an unbroken family record back to the year 1300. Elijah, the son of Henry Rogers, was born in Fauquier County, Virginia, but at the age of 15 came with his father and other members of the family to Sevier County, Tennessee, then a part of the "western territory" of North Carolina. This county at that early date was largely an unsubdued wilderness, infested by the Indians, whose hostile aggressions, for a number of years, involved the races in perpetual warfare or vigilant watching on the part of the settlers against the sudden raids of the hostile and suspecting natives. In all this young Rogers was an "active participant." (S. C. Rogers, in Borum's Sketches.) Elijah Rogers lived before the day of public schools in Sevier County, or even private ones. But his battle with the wilderness developed in him strength of character as well as strength of muscle. He was in every sense a self-made man. His education, from first to last, was secured by hard digging and persistent application. He possessed the talent of self helpfulness and acquired in large measure the virtue of self reliance. In his early ministry and even on toward middle life, though not lacking in masculine strength, he was "raw and awkward and unpromising," we are told; yet by dint of effort and perseverance he became, in time, a fairly polished speaker, for his day. At the age of 20 Elijah Rogers was married to Miss Katherine Clack, daughter of Spencer Clack, a Baptist, and a prominent citizen of Sevier County-one of a delegation of "five members," elected to represent his county in a convention called by the Governor (William Blount) to meet at Knoxville, January 11, 1796, to formulate the first constitution for the government of the new State of Tennessee (Ramsey's Annals, p. 651) ; and was also a member of the legislature for a number of terms. This union was blessed with a family of ten children, five sons and five daughters. In 1796 he and his companion united with the Forks of Little Pigeon (Sevierville) Church, and were baptized, it is supposed, by Elder Richard Wood, who was then pastor of the church. Subsequently this church licensed him to preach, but he was not ordained to the full work of the ministry till he had reached his thirty-sixth year. In 1810 Boyd's Creek Church called for his ordination, and he was accordingly ordained, in the usual way, as we may suppose, by the laying on of the hands of a presbytery, presumably by the authority of the old Forks of Little Pigeon Church, of which he seems still to have been a member. He served Boyd's Creek, Alder Branch, and Sevierville as pastor the greater part of his ministerial life. Of Boyd's Creek he was pastor more than thirty years. He was the first pastor of Alder Branch, he and Augustine Bowers being the joint founders of the church. He was successor to Elder Richard Wood in the pastorate of the Sevierville Church. For more than fifty-two years these two faithful under-shepherds took care of the Baptist flock at Sevierville, each serving the flock faithfully to the close of his life. These men were present at the baptism of John Hillsman (August, 1825) in the Tennessee River at Knoxville, in the presence of 3,000 people, Elijah Rogers being the administrator. This was the first baptism in the city of Knoxville, and the beginning of Baptist history at this now Baptist city. (Old record.) These two men were the chief pillars of strength to the Baptist cause in all their part of the country for years, serving the churches, for the most part, at their own charge. They, with other Baptists, had seen and felt the injustice of a compulsory religious (?) tax to support the state church, and the pendulum had swung the other way. Right or wrong, following the Baptist custom of the times, they said little about pastoral support, and "farmed" for a living. "Preacher Rogers" was held in repute as a farmer, and was said to be the "best corn-grower" in Sevier County. Elijah Rogers was moderator of the Tennessee Association twenty-four years in succession - a fact in itself showing unusual influence and popularity, and an honor rarely duplicated in the history of deliberative bodies. He was pioneer in missions, and a John the Baptist preparing the way for a missionary movement, even while he was held in fellowship by his anti-mission and anti-effort brethren. While the leaders of the anti-mission school gave their time and energy to discussing "fixed fate, free-will and foreknowledge absolute," Elijah Rogers was one of the first to break the shell of fatalistic belief and declare for missions. His contention was for "free salvation," or a salvation available for all men, a universal commission, and the obligation of the churches to give the "gospel to every creature." In the war with the so-called "Ironsides" he was able and distinguished as a fighter. He had an appointment, I am told, on one occasion between the "missionaries" and the "antis." The appointed day came round, the multitude gathered, the sermon - a "great sermon" - was preached. It was a great triumph for the cause of truth. The opposition was not entirely quieted, but to a great ! extent was disarmed. The friends of missions were encouraged, and furnished arguments for the defense of their cause. The controversial spirit, however, was not natural to him. He was inclined to be conservative and conciliatory, rather than combative. Churches, rent asunder by strife over the question of missions, sent for Elder Rogers, far and near, to help them settle their troubles; and few men could do more by tact and prudence than he to restore peace and unity to a divided church. I close the sketch with the relation of the following anecdote, which is vouched for by good authority. Elder Rogers had a small Testament which he was accustomed to carry about with him in one of the hind pockets of his coat. While getting ready to start to one of his Saturday appointments he happened upon a pack of cards about the barn, which some of his boys, as he supposed, had been playing on the sly, and had forgotten to "hide," as they intended to do. He put the cards in the same pocket in which he had previously put his Testament, and went on to church, intending to give the boys a lecture, on his return home. When the time to begin the preaching service had arrived, he had forgotten all about the "cards." Imagine his surprise, when, putting his hand in his pocket for his Testament, he pulled out the cards instead, in plain view of the audience. As soon, however, as he could recover himself from his embarrassing perplexity, he explained the situation and procee! ded to give a moral lecture on the wickedness and folly of "card-playing." --------------------------------------------------------- Burnett, J .J.

Thanks - - I needed to know I am not the only person who has been searching for 8 straight years for this woman's family. My elderly aunt will be 90 and I keep telling her I will find her grandmother's family before she dies. Not looking too good that I can keep that promise. I've even had 2 professionals look for her family - - it is like she does not exist until she is a married woman. >From: "David Middleton Edelen II" <k98@bellsouth.net> >Reply-To: RODGERS-L@rootsweb.com >To: RODGERS-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [RODGERS] RODGERS PENNSYLVANIA >Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2004 18:13:54 -0500 > >Hello Anna Marie, > I know what you mean.

Hello Anna Marie, I know what you mean. I feel the same way. I often wonder, is there no one but me descended from my great grandfather Dr. John Fleming Rodgers from Kentucky? I know that two or three of his daughters by his first wife wound up in Texas, and I know where some other descendents are down here in Montgomery, Alabama from his daughter Emma (the Blackerbys) and son Lester (Rodgers) in Prattville, Al.. from his second marriage. But these around here either don't know a thing or could care less. The info I seek died when the elders died off, my grandparents and great aunt Emma. Emma's daughter knew, but by the time I tracked those Blackerby relatives down she was in a nursing home with like alzheimers or something and could remember nothing. Oh well, excuse me for ranting, but lordy it gets frustrating sometimes. I mean I know where he went to medical college at, where he was born, where he lived and died, his two wives and their kids, where some of my grandfather's cousins lived around 1910-30 (Midway, Woodford Co. Ky), even what unit he served during the War for Southern Independence. but can't seem to be able to find out who his parents were or about his Rodgers line or where they were from. It is indeed frustrating. Take care, David Edelen
