In my previous Post I asserted that the FIRST Shadrach/Shadrack birth was Shadrach Waddill (b 6 Sep 1738 - St. Peter's Parish, New Kent, VA).In making this assertion, I ERRED.The FIRST Shadrach birth I noted was that of Shadrack HOGAN in 1734.
The POINT is still the same though.The early Roper tracts in Caswell County, North Carolina, are along Rattlesnake Creek, very near to Hogan's Creek.
If Shadrack ROZAR was an adult when David ROZAR of North Carolina died, then he would have been born ca 1740, which would make him a rough contemporary of Shadrack Hogan and Shadrach Waddill.Again, there are many indications that Savid ROZAR may have been David ROPER.And some of his sons may have moved to Georgia to start the ROZAR clans there.
If there is evidence to the contrary, I would much appreciate learning of it!!
