Balam Rogers Georgia
Does anybody know anything about a Balam Rogers?
He was born around 1800 in GA, & died about 1849 or a little earlier. Not sure if he died in GA or not, can't find any records.
What I do know of him, his name has been spelled Balsam, Balam, Balaam & Balum.
He is found in the 1830 Henry County Census (Balaam W. Rogers) & the 1840 Upson County census (Balam Rogers).
He married 06/01 or 17/1824 in Jasper County to Charlotte Downey/Darnsey.
They had at least 3 sons, possibly by the names of James C., Marcus D. & Jesse M.
A Charlotte Rogers is found 1850 in Chambers County, Alabama (right on the GA line) with sons Marcus & Jesse, and the only other Rogers in Chambers County at that time was my James.
The other names found in Jasper County marriage records around the time of Balam is James Rodgers m. Matilda Carpenter 1822 & William Rodgers m. Sarah Duke 1827. Balam's marriage record lists him as Balsam Rodgers. An earlier marriage was Thomas E. Rogers m. Sarah Ann Rucker 1812.
Does anybody have this Balam in their notes somewhere or know what family he ties into?
Any info greatly appreciated!
