I and my grandmother spent many years researching, but we are stuck at his lineage, and can't find his parents. Family legend involves kidnapping by Cherokees or running away, but I haven't been able to find anything about his parents. His wifes father was born in 1774, so I would guess his father to be born 1765-1780. Some of Travis' sons names are Welcome, Thomas, Josephus, Milton, Elijah, William, and Pleasant. I know that these names are repeated many times down the line so am hoping they also repeat backwards. Their oldest daughter is named Elizabeth, I know I have seen a few Elizabeth Rogers. Both Travis and his wife Fanny (Francis Morrison) were born in VA and relocated to Tennesse. They were founders of the Old Ocee Baptist Church in Polk County, and I am pretty certain that all of the children were born in TN, which puts them there by at least 1825.
