My cousins and I are attempting to separate the many different Rogers families of colonial Virginia during the time period of the first half of the 1700's. We descend from John Rogers (born abt 1720/25 and died 1790 in Fairfield, SC- according to his son Joseph's Rev. War pension application) John was in Amelia between 1748 and 1750. We do not believe he stayed in Amelia County, VA very long. Complicating this search is the fact that the name John Rogers was a very common one during the 1700's especially in Virginia. According to John's 1790 will in Fairfield, his children were: William, Richard, Thomas, James, Joseph, Henry, Frances and Jane. In addition we are searching for anyone with Rogers or Rodgers connections in Lincoln Co., TN, Bedford Co., Rutherford Co., TN, or Madison Co., AL. We believe some of our Rogers may have lived in some or all of these places. Our ancestor, Joseph Rogers, originated in Tennessee in Rutherford Co., and Bedford Co. (although he had also lived in Amelia Co., VA, Fairfield, SC, Fayette Co., KY, and Oglethorpe Co., GA. However, there are at least one or two other Joseph Rogers floating around during this time period and places--notably a Joseph Rogers who was born in 1788 in SC. (He married Nancy Mullings). According to early records, In Rutherford County, there were five Rogers working on the Barfield Road in 1808: James, Joseph, John, Isaac, and David. In 1813, a person was sent from Rutherford Co., TN to Madison Co., Mississippi Territory (today Madison Co., AL) to obtain a deposition from John Rogers and Isaac Rogers at the house of John Rogers. I believe this John and Isaac Rogers probably were 2 of the 5 working on the Barfield Road in RC five years earlier. In the 1820 Lincoln Co., TN census some of the Rogers enumerated were Absolom, Isaac, John H., Jones, Joseph, Spencer, and William Rogers. It appears that at least some of these men were involved in the above road-building crew and in the court deposition in Madison Co., AL (just across the state line from Lincoln Co., TN). How are these Rogers connected? Some believe that they could be children or grandchildren of the Joseph Rogers who was born in 1750 in Amelia Co., Va and in his later years moved to Rutherford and Bedford Counties. Others believe that all these Rogers are related to the Joseph Rogers who was born in 1788. One person states that Isaac Rogers may be the father of Absolam and Joseph Rogers (born 1788). Or could the Joseph Rogers (born 1750) be the father of many of these men--especially of Absalom, John, and Joseph (born 1788)? Any direction or help by Rogers researchers reading this in locating or separating the many Rogers names would be much appreciated. We would be very happy to share information.

Allen P. Rogers born abt. 1804 in NC settled in Franklin Co., Ala. I do not know anything about his parents or brother or sisters, etc. He had nine children living with him in the 1860 census of Franklin Co. The oldest daughter was 17 years of age. Any help appreciated.
