I would like to take this means to respond to several messages within the last two days related to Rogers families in the above locations. I will start with the 1860 census and work backwards. In the 1860 census for the area of Lawrence Co., AR that became Sharp County, AR in 1868, four Rogers families are listed in consecutive order. The family heads are Jeremiah D. Rogers (my direct ancestor), Fountain Rogers, James M. Rogers, and Oliver Rogers. I believe that this James M. Rogers was killed at the Battle of Pea Ridge in 1862 during the Civil War. On page 22 of her book, Eleanor lists among the children of George Rogers (born ca 1800) a Fountain Rogers and Oliver Rogers with these people living in Marion Co., TN in 1850. She also states that she believes that George had additional children. In the 1850 census for Dade Co., GA, Jeremiah D. Rogers and James M. Rogers are listed. Marion Co., TN and Dade Co., GA are adjacent counties on different sides of the TN / GA border. >From the above information, it appears to me that the four younger Rogers are brothers. This, of course, is not conclusive but strongly suggests that they are very closely related if not brothers. Recently, I exchanged several e-mails with another researcher concerning William Rogers (born ca 1801) who was living next door to James M. Rogers in the 1850 census for Dade County, GA. While I haven't been able to locate her messages today, both she and I agreed that William Rogers was probably a close relative of James M. Rogers, and all the other Rogers also. If such is the case then William Rogers (born ca 1801) would almost have to be closely related to Doswell Rogers in some manner. I would appreciate any comments on these families.
