    3. For Bill Musgrave Thanks for your reply. Would your James Rogers have been 40 in 1850. There is a James Rogers in the Campbell township which is in the Springfield area born in Tenn with a wife Jane who is 42, a son Thomas H. 10 and W.H.H. 7 all born in Tenn and then a son Jamaes F. 6 and Charles H. 4 and these last two children are born in Mo. In tahe Shiloah cemetery is a James Rogers who was born in 1814 and I had wondered who this fellow was. Close to him is a Wm. H. who was born in 1862 abd dued in 1941, His wife was Mary Susan born in 1859. Could this be your family. The dates on the tombstones do not match the dates on the census--but they may be the same family. You can probably clear this up for me. The Shiloah cemetery is in Webster Co. not too far from the Greene Co. line. In fact the cemetery is close to the Pat Jones farm (Pat is deceased but his widow still lives there). Tjey are the parents of Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys. This James is listed as James R. on the tombstone-- born Feb. 8, 1814 and died Jan. 8, 1889. I had thought this could have been the James Rogers from Rhea Co. that had married Phoebe Owens but I could not verify this idea. I do live in Springfield but grew up in Jackson Township which is the northeast corner of Greene county. I grew up about 3 to five miles from each , Webster, Dallas and Pollk counties. Will be interested to know if this is your family. In the 1840 census, the onlyu Rogers listed is my gr gr grandfather, Joseph and then William M. who was from Marion Co. Tenn and a member of the family that settled Rogersville, Mo, it being on the Greene and Webster Counties line at the south east of the county.

    3. Dear Phoebe, The James Rogers that is 40 in 1850 is not ours. We have not quite figured out which James that one is, but we believe him to be related somehow back in Tennessee. If you know the Rogers line, you know that James was a VERY common name among them. The James, William and Mary in Shiloh Cemetery IS my family. As for it being James R., we have one record that says our James had a middle name of Braden and his son was James Braden Jr. and his son was James Reuben. We have a bible record that says his middle name was Rueben, his son was James Rueben Jr. and his son was James Braden. We chose to use the Braden middle name because we got that from my mother, who got that from her grandfather, William H. Rogers, and grandmother, Mary Susan Munsey Rogers. We also got his and William's marriage record from the Missouri archives that states James's middle name was Braden. So, we are not sure which to go with. HOWEVER, we may have to change that due to the fact that we have found a couple other facts that my mom gave me that were also incorrect and have actual PAPER documents that disagree with her story. We have also been in contact with a descendent of Ollie Belle Rogers Williams, one of the O'Dells, that is checking on t! hings down there and trying to clear that up. Thank you for your reply. It is greatly appreciated and we will follow-up with what we may find on James.
