Our Rogers came to Missouri --Greene Co--about 1835. My gr gr grandfather was Joseph Rogers who came here from Bedford Co. Tenn. He was in Bedford Co in thaae 1830 census living next to his brother-in-law Hosea Mullings. In the 1820 census our Joseph was in Lincoln Co. Tenn living close to Isaac, Absalom and Jones Rogers. Our Joseph was born in 1788 in So. Car. Absalom and Jones were both born in So. Car and we believe that the Isaac was also from So. Car. For we find an Isaac Rogers in Laurens Co. So. Car whose dates fits the one in Lincoln Co. And also live close by are others from So. Carolina namely the Pugh, Halls, Mullings, and others. However we do not have documented proof they were from Laurens Co. So. Car. Our Joseph's 1812 War of 1812 pension application states he was born in So. Carolina. The location of our Rogers in Greene Co. is very close to the Webster Co. line. There is also other Rogers in Webster Co for whom the town of Rogersville is named. They come to Missouri from Marion Co., Tenn. We have not yet found a direct connection with the two Rogers families. Also there was another Rogers that came in the mid 1830s and this was a James Rogers who came from Rhea Co., Tenn. He came with his in-laws the Henry Owens family. The Henry Owens family settled in the Southwest part of the Co. but James settle in the Northeast part of the co that later became Webster Co when it was fromed from Greene Co in 1855. Would be interested to hear from you and know your connection to the Rogers in Greene and Webster Co., Missouri.
