This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Rodgers/Rogers/Saunders/Sanders Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hgDBAIB/1654.2.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I don't have of those names and mostly my Rodgers kin were in Monroe, Lowndes, Pontotoc, Chickasaw, Calhoun Counties. Sorry I can't be of some help. I have 3 Rodgers grandfathers who married 3 Saunders/Sanders grandmothers. When my line moved to Arkansas, the 'd' was dropped from the name, no reason other than people spelled the name as they thought it sounded, I guess.
