Lynne, I am searching for information on my GG-Grandfather Emsley Rogers. I have different documents telling me he was born in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia! It's a little tough to figure out just where since I can't tie another person to him before his marriage. Any time I run across someone searching Rogers in the early 1800 time frame, when Emsley was born in one of those three places, I try to communicate with them to see if we can find any connection at all. Emsley shows up in Darke County Ohio for his marriage and is on several census listings after that. I have found a lot of documents and even have a picture of him as an older man passed on to me by another very generous Rogers researcher. He owned a fairly large amount of property and I have been to the property and also located his and his wife's gravesites in Ohio. If your Simeon had any family in Ohio, please let me know. Perhaps we can match something up and at least get some peripheral information on our ancestors.
