I have located the following information from PETITIONS FOR LAND FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA COUNCIL JOURNALS VOLUME 1:1734/5-1748 by Brent H. Holcomb. Page 222 Meeting of 8th May 1745 Read the Petition of JOHN ROGERS, Planter, humbly shewing, That the Petit'r has eight persons in Family for whom no land has been assigned him in this Province, and being willing to cultivate & improve to the Extent of his said family Right, He humble prays His Excel'cy & their honours that 400 acres of land be laid out to him by two different warrants betwixt Santee River & Wateree River & c...the prayer of his S'd Petit'n was granted... I am searching for information about JOHN ROGERS b abt 1725 d 09 Aug 1790 in Fairfield, SC. I have eight known children listed for him-Henry, James, Mary Jane, Richard, Thomas, William, Joseph and Frances(Fannie). I am also looking for any information about John Rogers who served as a horseman in the militia during 1781 under Captain Kilgore. I think it possible that John had a son named John but he would have had to have died before 1790 when John made his will (or have been disinherited--which I doubt). Perhaps if this is true, John Jr. could be the one who served as a horseman in the militia. I am not sure if this is the same John Rogers that is mentioned in the SC archives as follows: 02/18/1771 Rogers, John, Plat for 200 acres in Craven County. Mentioned with John Phillips, George Lott, Robert been searching for years for this John and any bit of information about any of these names might provide some clues to us. Thank you very much. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated and I would be very happy to share information. Thank you in advance for your help Joyce Phillips ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
