My great-great-grandfather was Allen P. Rogers born abt. 1804 in NC. Since he is from NC, I am assuming Cherokee, but could be another tribe. I have a cousin who remembers her mother telling her that her grandmother was a full blood Indian. Her grandmother was Cleopatra Rogers born about 1854 in Ala. Her family in 1860 Franklin County, Ala. are Allen P.; Elizabeth, whom census says he married within the year; Margaret age 17; Melonta age 15; Wm. D. age 12; Lucinda, age 10; John C. age 8; Cleopatra age 6; Sarah J. age 4; Modenia age 2; and Manda B. age 1. In 1865 a daughter, Deverlin P. was born. I don't know if there are older children or not. I have found that Rogers is also spelled Rodgers for this family. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
