Surnames: Rodgers/Rogers, Sutton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hgDBAIB/1727 Message Board Post: I am trying to locate my great-great grandfather Abner Leroy Rodgers who I believe came to Mississippi from South Carolina, via Tennessee. He married Anna L. Sutton in Sept. 1851, possibly in Lauderdale, TN. SHE was born 1830 and died in Mississippi in 1854. (She is buried in Tate County, Mississippi.) I think HE married again, but I think that my great-grandfather, his son Preston Walker Rodgers, was the son of Anna Sutton. We have a record of Preston W. Rodgers buying property in Grenada County, Mississippi, in 1905. We have no idea what happened to Abner Leroy Rodgers. Did he serve in the Civil War? Is he the Abner Rodgers born in 1830 in Laurens County, S.C.? Is he the A. Rodgers who served in the TN 3rd (Forrest's) Cav. CoC? Who did he marry as his second wife? Where did he move after his first wife died in what was then either DeSoto County or Marhsall County, Mississippi (now Tate County)? Who are his other children? The only descendants that I am aware o! f were my grandmother and her children and grandchildren. Can anyone provide information on this Rodgers family? I would very much appreciate any leads.
