I have been searching for our Rogers relatives for several years with some very dedicated cousins and extended cousins. I keep seeing the names of John Rogers along with numerous references to the Pigg family. If anyone has any information concerning the connection/s between the Rogers and Pigg family I would very much appreciate hearing from you. This is the will of the earliest known proven Rogers ancestor that we know about. We are searching for any and all information about the following John Rogers and/or his children in addition to any associations with the Pigg family. Thank you!

Joyce, I only have one Rogers/Pigg connection: Martha Pigg married Oliver Jasper Rogers. Martha was the daughter of Thomas H Pigg and Lucinda Chitwood Pigg. I do not have any dates or locations for Martha and Oliver Jasper Rogers. I do have further Pigg information on Martha's family if you need it.
