James Ellis died about 1817 in Lincoln Co TN. My Rogers line is Adenstone Rogers who was born in AR about 1825. I don't know at this point if Alexander Rogers is part of this family. I am trying to sort out the Rogers families in this part of AR. A long-time researcher of the extended Adenstone Rogers family has found no evidence that this group ever owned slaves. So perhaps the fact that Alexander did not keep the slave in his household is consistent with his being part of this family. I try to post documents concerning slavery, adoption, etc. when I find them with the hope of assisting researchers who have very few old records to work with.
