I read these posts with great interest because I am a direct descendent of many Raleigh, NC Rogers (Aaron, Sion, Sion, Sion Hart, and three William Haywood Rogers ). But as I read this watch story, it appears to have originally been printed in a Cheraw, SC newspaper. The Pee Dee River is in SC, not NC. I have no idea why the article was reprinted in the Raleigh Standard, but that appears to be the case!
