Rogers of Horry Co. SC and Columbus Co. NC
In my exhaustive search for the parents of my husband's ancestor John McDonald Rogers born 1859 Horry Co. SC, died 1930 Richland Co. SC his death certificate said his parents were Joseph Rogers and Mary Hodges,he married 1880 Sallie Bright Mills.Census records 1880 Horry Co. SC. 1900 Columbus Co. NC; 1910 Richland Co. SC, 1920 Columbus Co. NC and 1930 Richland Co. SC after which he died.
I was not able to confirm his parents as such. The informant was his son Carson A. Rogers of Columbia, SC who may have furnished an incorrect given name for John's father.
While researching the Columbus Co. NC records, I found the death certificate for Henry D. Rogers born 1 May 1864 in Horry Co. SC d. 21 Dec 1922 Tabor, Columbus Co. NC. son of Jesse Rogers and Mary Hodges.His wife Delilah Bridges was deceased.She was born Feb 1863 in NC per the census of 1900 Horry Co. SC and 1910 Columbus Co. NC.The informant on the D/C was John M. Rogers of Tabor, Columbus Co. NC aka John McDonald Rogers who had remarried as his 3rd wife Mary E, Mills, sister of his first wife Sallie. and returned to Columbus Co. NC. I feel certain that John himself would know the correct given name of his father.
Henry D. Rogers has been further identifield as Henry Dock Rogers per the Webpage for Laurie Brock on Ancestry World Tree Project.
On the 1920 Tabor, Columbus Co. NC census is another possible brother, Alexander T. Rogers age 51 born SC wife Charity Vale Floyd.This family has been further identified as Alexander Thomas Rogers, Sr. by Vicky L. Hammond's webpage on Ancestry World Tree Project.He is buried in the Myrtle Green Cemetery in Tabor City, Columbus Co. NC. Some of his children were born in Abbeville Co. SC.It is my opinion that he too is the son of Jesse and Mary (Hodges) Rogers of South Carolina
And last, another possible brother is Frank J. Rogers on the 1920 Columbus Co. NC at Fair Buff living on Tabor Road.Wife Emma C. Powell who were married Apr 25 1893 in Fair Buff, Columbus Co. NC.He is further identified as Frank J. Rogers by Marion Banks McGee on the Ancestry World Tree Project. On her webpage she has as Frank's father,Jesse Rogers b. 21 Apr 1825 in SC died 27 May 1889 and buried in the Little Zion Methodist Church Cemetery in Marion Co. SC mother unknown.This Jesse is probably the same Jesse Rogers who married Mary Hodges per the death certificates for John McDonald Rogers and Henry Dock Rogers.
Now to top it all off, is the Ancestry World Tree Project webpage by Glenn N. Rogers for Jesse Rogers Sr. b. 26 Oct 1792 in Duplin Co. NC wife Mary Coggins.Listed as their son is Jesse Rogers, Jr. b. ca 1825 no further record.
While following up on some of the children listed, I find that some of them go into Sampson Co. NC, another place relating to my John McDonald Rogers family whose daughter married into the Cooper Family of Sampson (formerly Duplin) Co. NC.So it is my opinion that he is the same Jesse Rogers, Jr. born 1825 mentioned above.
The email addresses for the webpages mentioned above were undeliverable.
I sure would love to have some feed back on any or all of this.It may help to connect this group of Rogers to their proper tree.I was never able to locate a census for Jesse and Mary (Hodges) Rogers to prove all the above were brothers.
