You might search the county deed records (or a published abstract of those) for any Martin or Rogers who was a landowner at that period. If so, their given names should appear in the deeds by which they BOUGHT and SOLD land (grantee index for purchases, and grantor index for sales). Then too, if extant, check the tax records of that county for that near period to see if either paid taxes on real property, particularly, and on personalty where their given names also likely might appear. Finally, check the wills and administrations for the county for the entire period. Either of them may have left the land to someone by will or through their intestate estates ....where I might search for land records for Giles Rogers and Mr. Martin?
