I am searching the name ROGERS in Lincoln County. If anyone has any information about ROGERS I would be very interested in sharing with you. I have worked for several months with a group of ROGERS RESEARCHERS in Lincoln County and have not been able to find any information. Any help or information would be very much appreciated.

I know several people researching the Moore's, of which one is studying a Jesse Moore who went to KY and on to IL. These notes probably relate somehow to his line.

Carmen, I thought you mentioned that your Mom was not keen about the possibility of a Jewish line. Sorry if I misunderstood? My comment was meant well anyway. Ginny

Carmen, to keep peace, remind your mom that Jesus was a Jew. smile. Ginny K

Below is taken from the above book. "Though he was vexed by the arrogant Kentucky bourbon boys and the "Octopus" to the north, it was the appearance of a worthy rival not far from Tullahoma, in adjacent COFFEE CO., that threatened JACK DANIEL'S status as the region's preeminent distiller. This rival was EMMANUEL 'MANNY' SCHWAB, a German Jew with big aspirations. When one took into consideration SCHWAB'S family background, he was clearly a man to be reckoned with and a man of questionable ethics who might not play fair. During the Civil War, his father, ABRAM SCHWAB, a merchant based in Knoxville and Nashville, had pocketed a tidy profit smuggling goods through Union lines. Once Union troops occupied Tennessee in 1862, he and a partner. MEIER SALZKOTTER, contracted a Nashville carpenter to build a light spring wagon with a false bottom, providing about three inches between the two floors. SCHWAB smuggled everything from much-needed medicine to gray caps for the Confederate soldiers, making $20,000 in blood money off the latter. SALZKOTTER, who smuggled quinine and other medicines from Louisville to Nashville, was eventually caught and imprisoned. His wife, who happen to be ABRAM SCHWAB'S daughter Cecelia, turned to prostitution while he was in jail-that and the fervent pursuit of blood money were telling commentaries on the SCHWAB family's morals. After the war, Abram's on Emmanuel went to work as a bookkeeper for the GEORGE A DICKEL company. Dickel, an immigrant from Frankfut-am-Main, Germany, and a former cobbler, had founded a liquor wholesale company in Nashville. Lake many distributors, he bought whiskey from a variety of distilleries and blended it at his discretion for resale. But then he discovered the modest Cascade Distillery in Normandy, Coffee County, which was making exceptional whiskey, and started selling the Cascade brand, rather than blending it Meanwhile, EMMANUEL SCHWAB married Dickel's sister-in-law and slowly took on more responsibility at the firm. To better assimilate and promote himself in Baptist country, he dropped the "c" from his name and added Victor as a first name, an indication of the ambition he harbored. As one of the company's secretaries observed, "Mr. Victor was the shrewdest, smartest fellow around this part of the country." It goes on to say there was another partner at Cascade and his name was McLin Davis. These partners opened saloons in Nashville. One being the Climax and it was "the most famous, or infamous, sporting house in the city". There were many Germans that settled in middle TN. Also when Captain James Ogethrope arrived in Savannah, GA 1733. He laided out the city. As I recall when he came or on one of his trip or some time there after there were several Jewish families that settled in Savannah. I am sure that many could have migrated west as did other pioneer families. Julia Julia

I thought they hung you for stealing a horse.....one of my Turneys in 1790s "stole" 3 bee hives and was sentenced to hang by the neck till "dead, dead, dead". I knew something had happened since the man was alive till well into the 1850s......he was also listed in early 1790s as constable of Smith Co Tn, his uncle was one of the magistrates....anyway, the family story was that a man owed him some money and would not pay, he and his brother-in-law went to collect the money, the man was gone from home so they took 3 bee hives as payment. Due to politics......he was sent to court and sentenced to hang, then was released. I have just found two letters in Gov. Sevier's papers that have to due with this, men asking the governor to release Jacob Turney. I am going to send for copies to see exactly what they had to say. Anyway, perhaps this Moore also stole the mare as a payment for a debt or something.

As I recall reading the book "Blood & Whiskey" The Life and Times of Jack Daniel by Peter Krass, I believe Mr. Krass wrote about a Jewish family that either lived in what became Moore CO or did business in the area. I will have to look it up and get back with you but you will not like what he wrote. It seems this "business person" had a house of ill repute.

Carmen, I'm curious - you said your father showed Jewish DNA. Is he on your Warren side? I'm suspected of having Familial Mediteranean Fever - a genetic disease. There is at least 1 Warren cousin who was genetically diagnosed. So far, I haven't been, but the Dr's agree I fit the profile/symptoms. My family is not very receptive to the fact I may have a "Jewish" disease. That's why I wondered about the Warren...

Hi Robert-- I agree with you-- it looks like "Jessee." If you just glance at it it looks like John, but a closer look reveals the "o" looks more like an "e," and there is a downward loop from where the "h" in John would be, that looks like a cursive lower case "f" next to a small s. That looks like the letters they used for "ss." And the last letters look more like "ee" than "n." ~Suzanne Kirklin Robert Jackson <rljddj63650@charter.net> wrote: Hey Ginny, Zoom in on ancestry.com and take a close look.

There is a Jesse Moore listed on the 1820,1830, and 1840 census for LCT. The one listed above would have been born about 1794. The Jessee or John that we are looking at was born about 1803 or 4.

I am searching for Jane ASHLEY who was married to Charles Henry BEDINGFIELD somewhere close to 1798 and had a son, James Ashley BEDINGFIELD b. 1798. Charles was born Apr 5, 1773 and I estimate Jane would have been born around that same time frame. They lived in Lincoln county, TN ca 1816 when Charles was appointed sheriff. They had at least one other son, Charles Henry BEDINGFIELD III b. ca 1809 probably in Lincoln county. The family later moved to Limestone and Lauderdale counties, AL. Can anyone help? Thressa My son hardly ever makes the same mistake twice, but he makes a new one at every opportunity! :-D Karen

I had the same problem with Ancestry com each time you wanted to look at anything you had to go through the joining again. I just canceled it to much trouble for what they had to offer. Bill

Could anyone tell me how might I write to Dwight Winsett, his address listed with death notices jumped back at me.
