I
am going to place on this site the complete history of the Rogers family as I
have found it. This history is derived from Bible records, census records,
wills, county histories and information from other members who have researched
this line. I welcome any corrections that can be proven by official documents
and not memories taken years after the event. I have been unable to find the
parents of William Rogers and Chacey/ Chasey/ Chassey Jones. I have some
hunches but until I can verify these with official documents, they will remain
hunches. If any one has any information concerning: 1.) the dates and location
of the marriage of William and Chacey, 2.) the family of Thomas Rogers
especially his siblings and 3.) the history of any children of William and
Chacey that I do not have, I would welcome the data. I am willing to correct
any information when you can officially document these changes by records and
not the sworn affidavits based on memories of people long after the fact.
William Rogers (about 1776- 1828
–9) He was born in North Carolina according to his family.
Chacey Jones (about 1776-1852) She
supposedly was born in South Carolina however in the 1850 census she says
North Carolina.
Jones
Rogers (10/14/1798-October 12, 1863) He was born in North Carolina, which
indicates that Chacey may have been born in North Carolina and he died in
Franklin County Arkansas.

I
now have several questions and would appreciate any help on the answers. They
are:
The
1820 census has the following: 231201/10001. I have the following: 1798
Jones 22 in 1820, 1801 Pleasant 19, 1807 William 13, 1809 Samuel
11, 1810 Green 10, 1815 Jesse 5, and 1817 James Allen 3. This leaves on male
born between 1811 and 1814. The only female would have been born between
1802 and 1804 age 16-18 in 1820. According to Jim McMullin the family Bible
of Lura Rogers (raised by William and Mary Blount Rogers an infant death was
recorded. I would assume infant was from 0 to 5. If that is the case who was
the child in position 3 above ?
Also
the only female married Michael McMackin , does anyone have these children
and the location of the family?
I
also found in a book in Waverly called The History of Tumbling Creek the
following; a.) a picture of the Rogers homestead. ( I do not know which
Rogers i.e. William, Pherrell, Green etc.), b.) in 1807 the East side of
Tumbling Creek was in Hickman County and in 1809 the North West side was in
Humphreys County. When the lines were redrawn in 1835 the entire Creek move
into Humphreys County. c.) William Rogers received a grant for 300 acres in
1808. He sold 100 acres to Richard Byran in 1812 for $200. According to
Goodspeed Pleasant was a young lad when they moved to Tennessee, since he
was born in 1801 that means he was born in North Carolina and they moved
between 1801 and 1807, d.) the farms were arranged this way Pullen land, Eli
Qualls land, William Rogers, and above this land was Michael McMackin. The
Lemmon farm is now on the Rogers land and it is called the SKYWAY RANCH.
Above the Rogers land was the JOHN JOHNSON PLANTATION which is now owned by
Stanley and Pauline James and it is called the LAZY J ranch. The Michael
MacMackin place is now owned by Jimmy and Joyce Baker. It is supposed to
have a good spring on the south side. Now the question is now many of the
original settlers came with William Rogers from North Carolina. They were
John Walker, John Hales, Peter Crowell, Jonathan Carter, John Hales/Hailes,
Peter Crowell, Edward Springer, Ezekial Baker, John Forbiss, John Duff,
Druary Taylor, Jonathan May, William May, Abraham Baily, Anthony Peeler,
Rhoda Ethridge, Wyley Sanders, Jeremiah Ethridge, William Tubb, Benjamine
Berry Robert Easley, Henry Luten, Kinchen Perry, Martin Langford, Thomas
Boles, Dennis Cannon, John Johnson, John Page John Dunagan, Isaaac Sparks,
John Rice, Crawford and Ephrin Goodwin, Abraham Box and Roderick McLead. If
any names appear in the 1790 census of North Carolina in the same county
would that be a clue to where William lived prior to his move?
I
have the following information: according to one sworn statement from
Oklahoma by Howard L. Prather his mother was a third cousin to William
Boudinot’s wife. The line is as follows: Caroline Matilda Rogers (Boudinot)
3 rd cousin Edie Caroline Rogers, Charles Rogers ( married Nancy Downing) 2
nd cousin Pleasant Rogers (married Phoebe Hickman ) John Rogers married
Elizabeth Emory 1 st cousin William Rogers. Now according to the descendants
of Old Corntassel, Charles Rogers and Nancy Downing had Pleasant Rogers and
Eliza Rogers. John Rogers was English and a trader and they were connected
to Chief William Charles Rogers and Will Rogers. If this is the case, then
the parents of John and William were brothers. Does anyone have these the
parents of John Rogers?
Tina
Bellar sent me the following: Stanley County North Carolina Book 37, page 26
12/19/1794 John Rogers and wife Silvey of Mecklenburg North Carolina let
JAMES MCMACKIN of Cabarrus County North Carolina have 100 acres of land on
Long Creek next to George Hoffner for 40 pounds Witness: WILLIAM ROGERS AND
MICHAEL MCMACKIN. Michael MacMackin married Patsy Rogers on 1/3/1795 in
Rowan County North Carolina. If Patsy and William are siblings then this is
a tie to certain counties in North Carolina.
Finally
if Michael Mc Mackin moved with William Rogers to Tennessee then his son may
have married William’s daughter. William Rogers and Michael McMackin were
witnesses to an indenture in Hickman County on 10/18/1825 between James
Crowell and Charles Rich on Indian Creek. James Spicer (see above the
marriage of Pleasant Rogers and Sarah Spicer) married a second time the
daughter of Charles Rich.
Most
of the families lived in Humphreys County Tennessee but Jones moved to
Arkansas, Samuel moved to Benton County Tennessee, and little
is known about James Allen and Green.
I
have some data on the Hickman, Teas and Anderson families. I have most
documentation on paper but will copy for anyone who wants verification. I also
request that you not send any e-mails that try to change the information
unless you can verify with paper documents based on first hand , current
information from the individuals. I look forward to receiving any new
information that will build an accurate, well documented family history. John
