I am researching early Indian traders who were in Cherokee territory (probably Tennessee) in the 1770s. I am specifically looking for a John Rogers, who was my ancestor, and the troublesome part of the research is that there appear to have been two John Rogers in and among the Cherokee at the same time. One is the father of Tiana or Diana Rogers, wife of Sam Houston. I haven't found as much information on the other one. Does anyone happen to know of a good book or online resource that might help me in my research? Someone once told me traders had to be licensed, but it seems to me this might come later, after the Revolutionary War. Any help would be appreciated! Fawn Kennedy Dessy
