In the 1880 census the question was asked where the parents were born. We would like to hear from anyone who is researching male Rogers and their male Rogers who was born in South Carolina. Our Rogers lines have two definite Rogers who were born in South Carolina. David Rogers, born ca 1775 and James Alfred Rogers, born ca 1777. We have three possible Rogers who were born in South Carolina; John Rogers, William Rogers, and Joseph Rogers. The last three might have been born in the 1780;s in South Carolina. All five of these men are definite or possible sons of Joseph Rogers(born 1750 Amelia County-VA and died 1830's Bedford County, TN. Known Rogers names in our family include: John, Joseph, James, Alfred, William, Thomas, Richard and Henry. We would like to compare notes if you have any Rogers ancestors coming out of South Carolina in the late 1770s.

Joyce, I have hit a brick wall on my Rodger's (also spelled "Rogers") line. James J. Rodgers was born in South Carolina in 1817. About 1841, he married Rachel Sims in Laurens County, SC. Three of their children were born in Laurens County: Drue Sims (yes, spelled this way and sometimes "Drury"); Mary E.; and James William. They moved to Pontotoc County, MS in between 1847-1848 with a church group where the rest of their children were born: Richard Taylor (my ggrandfather) b. 1848; Sarah M.; Caroline Matelda; Rachel C.; Phoebe P.; Nancy F.; and Drucilla C. were the other children. James J. died in the Civil War in 1865. Richard Taylor married Margaret Hill and some of her brothers and James William were in Milam County, Texas in the 1900 census having arrived there between 1891 and 1900. The rest of the Rodgers amd Hill families stayed in Mississippi. I have lots of information on Rachel Sims' line, but I have not been able to connect any of the Rodgers in South Carolina with my James J. You have mentioned "Richard Rogers" in some of your e-mails and it caught my attention because I've always wondered where the name"Richard" came from. There are lots of James and Williams but not that many Richards. I'd appreciate your input if you happen to see a link to my James J.
