I sent several postings yesterday about Rogers and South Carolina Land petitions. I realized when I read them this morning I made an error on Benjamin Rogers. 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. Meeting of Wednesday 12th of March 1745/6 Page 57: Read the Petition of Benjamin Rogers shewing That the petit'r has been in this province 3 years & having seven persons in family besides himself, viz't a Wife & Six Children for whom as yet he hate not receiv'd any land on acc't of family right, but being desirous to settle and cultivate some of his Majesty's vacant lands humbly prays his Excell'cy & Honours would be pleased to give a Warr't for laying out to him 400 acres of vacant land, being in proportion to his said family right, in one or two tracts in the Welch Tract on Pedee River, near to the lands of John Lake, & C. March 11, 1745/6. The prayer of the petition was granted. I also found in the 1800 Census of South Carolina there are two Benjamin Rogers listed in Marlboro County. Can anyone provide any information of any of the above Benjamin's? I am wondering if these Benjamin's could be related??? My cousins and myself are also interested in Benjamin Rogers of Roanoke River in Bertie Co. North Carolina. This Benjamin was born between 1735 and 1740. he came from England with two brothers-Tracy and William. Near the present town of Roxobel are the ruins of an old town which was known as Rogersville. This information was taken from a note card from the Screven County Genealogy website page 62 Aldermans of America. Any help or additional information would be very much appreciated and I will be very happy to share the information I have. I am attempting to sort(if possible) some of these Rogers in and around this area to help further search for our Rogers. Thank you very much for reading this.
