Linda, I was so excited when I opened up your email, because Isaac has been our brickwall for several years. We do have some info that is reliable, but nothing to expand on. Edward Rogers, b. 15-2-1794, d, 17-07-1844, m. Phebe Chiles, 28-04-1819 in TN. The both died in and are buried in Chulahoma Cemetery, Madison County, Chulahoma, MS. We have found their gravesites. They are my husband's ggggrandparents. Washington Keyes Rogers, s/o Edward and Phebe,b. 15-02-1820 in Lincoln Co. TN [ some records say Madison Co, AL] d. 13-08-1899, m. Mary Weeks, b. 4- 03-1822 in TN. They both died in Thornton, Limestone Co, TX, and are buried in Cobb Cemetery. We have found their graves as well. They are his gggrandparents. Wash was their oldest of eight children. Phebe also had a daughter when they married. Their youngest child was a girl, and her descendents have the original family bible records written by Phebe. They have shared them with us, so we feel certain they are correct. We have also verified them with copies of legal documents. In the deaths section she has listed Ma[r]garet Rogers died September 28, 1820 in the 67th year of her age. [this would make her born in 1753] Isaac Rogers Sein [we assume this means Sr.] died July , 1832 in the 82nd year of his age. [this would make him born in [1750] Isaac Rogers Jenn [Jr. ?] died July 1, 1837. We have no written proof that Isaac and Magaret are Edward's parents, but it seems so logical that is why they are listed in the records. Do you have any info that will support this theory? When we first began searching for Edward's father, we thought it might be Absolom, but still feel he fits into the family. If we knew who all of Edward's siblings were, that would tell us a lot. Your Joseph and our Isaac are both listed as being born in 1750, so they might just be cousins. We have always thought Hugh and Larkin fit in there somewhere, because they were in the same area. You mentioned someone else thought Isaac's wife might be Margaret. Does that person have anything documented to support their thinking? If so, I would love to know what they have. What was the deposition about in connection with the Barfield Road? I am not familiar with the incident. One thing we have noticed in tracing our line, the same names have been repeated over and over. Up to now, we have been able to spot our decendents in the next generation by names we are familiar with. Have you noticed that in your direct line? I feel certain that the Lincoln Co, TN and the Madison Co, AL Rogers are the same. We have found identical records in both areas. It was common Indian territory until AL and TN become individual states. I hope I have not confused you in presenting this info. Hopefully somewhere it will begin to unravel, because I really believe there are answers here for all of us if we can just find a starting point. I live in northeast TX, so I am not really close to the original records, although we have made a few trips to that area researching. I have decided genealogy is a terminal disease, but isn't it fun....especially when you find something big. If we can connect your Joseph to our Isaac [I hope he is really ours] maybe we can get some solutions started. It may be lateral lines only, but they have to connect at some point. Hoping to hear from you soon, Sue Rogers sophiesue99@aol.com
