I have five William Rogers in my data base and one Sterling Rogers. Sterling was born in Tennessee in 1828. He had a bother named Dillard W. Rogers who was born in Powell Valley,Tennessee, on April 13,1825. Dillard married a Charlotte Christy who was the sister of one of my direct-line ancestors who was Elizabeth Christy. Dillard and Charlotte had a son born in 1855 who was named William Rogers, but his birthplace was Indiana and not Tennessee. Both Sterling and Dillard were sons of Isaac Rogers born in 1797 in Tennessee and his wife Nancy Hetherley born in 1796 in Tennessee. This couple had nine children the first five being born in Tennessee and the last four in Indiana. One of the children born in Indiana in 1838 was named William. Isaac's father was John Rogers. There is another interesting aspect about the close relationship between the Rogers, the Christies, the Herrons (formerly the Herrings), and my McIntosh line. One of Isaac's daughters was named Jane S. Rogers, born in Tennessee on September 26,1829. Jane married a Reuben Herring (Herron) on 17 September 1848 in Rock Creek, Bartholomew, Indiana. Reuben's father died in 1830 in Bartholomew County and his mother Elizabeth Christy Herring married another one of my direct-line ancestors George Washington McIntosh in 1833 in Rock Creek. It's a small, small world isn't it. One last story about the Rogers. A Stephen Rogers born in 1811 in Indiana married another of Elizabeth Christy Herron's sisters named Lucinda Christy born in 1812 in the Missouri Territory. Their fourth child was a son named William G. Rogers born sometime in the year 1840. This child is almost as important to me as one of my own. Please tell your barber that if he is a direct-line descendant of this William G. Rogers and if he can prove the exact date of William's birth, that I will see to it that the barber will get ten new customers in the next three months, even if I have to bring them all with me from Utah! :-) If you give a copy of this message to your barber and to your other friends who may have an interest in the Rogers, Christies, Herrons, and McIntoshes, perhaps they will be able to determine if any of the Rogers mentioned in this post are the family they are looking for! Your friend, Jim Have a great day with your best friend -- our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
