I don't know if this is would be any help. However, I just read a historical novel called The Raven and His Bride about Sam Houston. The chief and brothers of the Cherokee tribe he lived with for many years and kept contact with for this lifetime were of the surname Rogers. I am a Rogers descendent and when I read this in the book it surprised me and embedded itself in my brain. The book is by Elizabeth Crook of Austin. She has a website if you wanted to ask a question of her. In a message dated 6/11/2007 10:08:21 A.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Thanks for reply.

Nancy Carolyn [email protected] wrote: My cousins and I are attempting to separate the many different Rogers amilies of colonial Virginia during the time period of the first half of the 700's. e descend from John Rogers (born abt 1720/25 and died 1790 in Fairfield, SC- ccording to his son Joseph's Rev. War pension application) John was in melia between 1748 and 1750. We do not believe he stayed in Amelia County, VA ery long. Complicating this search is the fact that the name John Rogers was a very ommon one during the 1700's especially in Virginia. According to John's 1790 ill in Fairfield, his children were: William, Richard, Thomas, James, Joseph, enry, Frances and Jane. In addition we are searching for anyone with Rogers or Rodgers connections in incoln Co., TN, Bedford Co., Rutherford Co., TN, or Madison Co., AL. We elieve 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 edford Co. (although he had also lived in Amelia Co., VA, Fairfield, SC, ayette Co., KY, and Oglethorpe Co., GA. However, there are at least one or two ther Joseph Rogers floating around during this time period and places--notably oseph Rogers who was born in 1788 in SC. (He married Nancy Mullings). According to early records, In Rutherford County, there were five Rogers orking 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., ississippi Territory (today Madison Co., AL) to obtain a deposition from John ogers nd Isaac Rogers at the house of John Rogers. I believe this John and Isaac ogers probably were 2 of the 5 working on the Barfield Road in RC five years arlier. In the 1820 Lincoln Co., TN census some of the Rogers enumerated were bsolom, Isaac, John H., Jones, Joseph, Spencer, and William Rogers. It appears hat t least some of these men were involved in the above road-building crew and n the court deposition in Madison Co., AL (just across the state line from incoln Co., TN). How are these Rogers connected? Some believe that they could be children or grandchildren of the Joseph ogers who was born in 1750 in Amelia Co., Va and in his later years moved to utherford and Bedford Counties. Others believe that all these Rogers are related to the Joseph Rogers who was orn in 1788. One person states that Isaac Rogers may be the father of bsolam and Joseph Rogers (born 1788). Or could the Joseph Rogers (born 1750) be the father of many of these en--especially of Absalom, John, and Joseph (born 1788)? Any direction or help by Rogers researchers reading this in locating or eparating the many Rogers names would be much appreciated. We would be very appy o share information.

There has been a lot of work done on these two John Rogers associated with Sam Houston.
