Surnames: Rodgers, Rogers, McCook, Lashley, Aderholt, Dempsey,Dorman Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hgDBAIB/1766 Message Board Post: James W. Rodgers is listed on the 1900 Florida, Hamilton Co. Westlake census. (Indexed as Kodgers). This is my paternal great grandfather. I am listing the 1900, 1910 and 1920 census info I have found. I have yet to find him or any of the family on the 1930. Have a rather wide range for his year of birth too, 1848 to 1854. When I first started my Rodgers research, info (verbal family history) said James W. Rodgers was from Virginia. Another source (a new found cousin) said he came from Kentucky. But all census records I have found give Georgia as his place of birth and also for his parents. Here is the census info: 1900>Florida>Hamilton Co>Westlake Series: T623, Roll: 169, Page 216 James W. Rodgers, age 50 GA. GA. GA. (year of birth given, 1850). wife - Dilla A., age 26. son - Jesse J., age 10. daughter - Ada, age 8. son - William, age 6. daughter - Ollie, age 4. (ollie is my grandmother). daughter - Julya, age 0/12. (aka Julia). 1910>Florida>Hamilton Co.>Westlake Series:T624, Roll: 161, Page 128 James Rodgers age 56. wife Dillian age 35. son Jessee J. age 21. daughter Ada age 20. daughter Ollie age 14. daughter Julia age 9. daughter Lulla age 7. son Elza age 5. son Rubin age 2. 1920>Florida>Suwannee Co.>Falmouth - 5 PCT. James Rodgers, age 64. wife, Dilla A. age 50. daughter Ada V. age 26. daughter Julia age 19. daughter Lula age 13. son Elzie age 12. son Rubin age 10. son Horace age 7. James Rodgers married Dilla Ann Dempsey in Hamilton Co., Florida, 1888. She was the daughter of Andrew Jackson Dempsey and Martha Elizabeth Dorman. Ada Rodgers married Sherman Lashley. Lula Rodgers married Lee Aderholt. Ollie Elizabeth Rodgers married Alexander O. McCook. Both James and Dilla Ann are buried at Rosemary Cemetery, Suwannee Co., Florida. (no readable dates are on headstones). Rubin, Elzie and Horace are also buried at Rosemary. They are all buried with the spelling ROGERS. Horace died of accidental gunshot at about age 19. Except for more information on my McCook/Rodgers connection through my grandparents marriage,this is the extent of my RODGERS information. If you are connected to any of the above persons or have information that might help me add to my research data, I would welcome a response:). I would really like to find James W. Rodgers' parents and find out if he had any siblings. Thanks, Linda McCook McCook Family Connections http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mccookfamilyconnections
