Hi Elsie - I too have long been working on a William Rogers, a Thomas Rogers, and a John Rogers. Here is one family that has them all - and a long will + many land deeds. John Rogers, Sr., was born about 1779 in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of John Rogers. In about 1794 he married Elizabeth Hill, the daughter of Thomas Hill. We know nothing about her date or place of birth. John lived in Brooke Co., Virginia, from 1797 to 1827 at least, then he moved to Richland Co., Ohio. He died in about 1834 (probably in Ohio) and was survived by his wife. On 29 June 1834 John Rogers left a will, over which there was documented litigation in Richland Co., Ohio. John and Elizabeth Rogers had 15 children: 1. Mary Rogers, born 8 May 1795, place unknown. Married Michael Tiernan on 29 July 1811. She died on 24 March 1820 in Brooke Co., Virginia, and was buried in Pfister’s Cemetery, Brooke Co. 2. William Rogers. 3. Michael Rogers. 4. George Rogers (“The merchant”). Born about 1801 in Virginia. Died 11 Dec. 1836 in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. He left a detailed will on 8 Nov. 1836 in Orleans Parish, Louisiana – showing that he owned considerable land and property. 5. Thomas H. Rogers. Born in about 1802 in Virginia. His first two marriages are to women whose names we do not know. He married (3) Polly Boynton (daughter of Asa Boynton and Mary Edmunds) on 1 Jan. 1822 in Ohio. He married (4) Rachel Clay on 18 Oct. 1836 in Richland, Ohio. As far as we know he had no children by any of these wives. Thomas owned the steam boat Philadelphia which plied the Ohio River. He died 11 June 1870. 6. Jane Rogers. Born about 1803 in Virginia. She married Luke McGuire (date and place unknown). The son of James McGuire and Ruth Brown, he was born in 1796 in Brooke Co., Virginia (now in West Virginia). They had six children, all born in Brooke Co., from 1828 to 1845: In order of birth: Elizabeth, John R., Ruth, Mary, William D., and Caroline. He died in 1860 or 1861 in Brooke Co., Virginia. She died after 1879, perhaps in Lawrence, Kentucky. 7. Elizabeth “Eliza” Rogers. Born 1804 in Virginia. She married Nicholas B. McGuire before 1830 (place unknown).

Thanks for the information. I can't find any relationship to your Rogers. Researching the Rogers' families is made difficult because so many families have given their children the same names.
