Teri, I'm sorry, but I can't connect your Browns and Rodgers to mine.  My Rogers/Rodgers were never in NC that I know of - they came directly from Fauquier Co., VA to Smith Co.

Barthena Allen 5. Sarah, 1827-1857,  m. James H. Watts 6. Frances P., 1832-1854, m. James B. Davis 7. Thomas  Jefferson "Doc", 1836-1919, m. Prudence J. Smartt 8. Levi, 1838-1924, m.  Nancy Phillips Frances, T.J. and Levi all remained in Smith Co. all their  lives, but the others moved away. Sandra I am curious about  the Rodgers as a collaterol line of my Brown's. My Arthur Brown was b. 1761 Pitt Co., NC (which had just been cut from  Beaufort Co., NC) In many land records in Pitt and Beaufort NC the Rodgers are mentioned as  witnesses, adjacent property, etc.  By 1818 my Arthur Brown filled out a  Rev War Pension request in Caldwell Co., KY ` (this was cut from  Christian,Livingston and  Logan).  I believe he left NC bet  1810-1812.   His daughter Anna Brown married John Rodgers and they  lived and died in Caldwell Co., KY. By about 1823-1826, for some reason Arthur Brown left Caldwell  and moved to Carroll Co., TN. There are Rodger's there also.  In the vertical family files in the  Gordon Brown library in McKenzie, Carroll Co., TN, I found a letter from Arthur  Brown to his daughter Anna Brown Rodgers in the 1840's, shortly  before he died.  He is asking about his old friend Drury Rodgers. This Ro(d)ger's family seems to be large and to have possibly been in  middle, and midwestern TN, along with documentation in Pitt and Beaufort  Co. NC ~ which is not too far from Fauquier, VA, and into Caldwell Co.,  KY.  This part of KY had land set aside for Rev War Vets from VA.  I was doing Brown research at the Dallas Public Library the last two weeks, and saw where the Brown's were probably  in VA prior to NC - mid  1700's)  , and I'm guessing the Rodgers were , but can't quite  remember. My Arthur Brown had service in NC, but I can find no record of him owning  land in Kentucky, and I'm guessing he may have lived with the Ro(d)gers. As additional info. Arthur Brown's son Samuel Arthur Brown wrote a family  history about 1900, he stated that Arthur Brown's parents and Grandparents OR  his Grandparents and their parents were supposed to have come from England in  the early settling of the colonies.  Since there seems to be such a tangled  connection with my Brown, I'm guessing there may be more than one intermarriage  here. Does any of this work with your Rodger's??
